Beautiful ballroom managed by excellent dance teachers! My son attends the centre and is taught by Matt and Beth. He loves his time there and can’t get enough of it! Matt and Beth are extremely professional and committed to what they do. They are patient and supportive whether you are new to dance or a more advanced student. There are lots of classes throughout the week for adults and children, as well as the opportunity for private tuition. I would recommend to anyone without any hesitation!— Fiona Priest
Fabulous Dance Centre with lots of time, effort and dedication put in by both Matt and Beth. Take my children to the Saturday morning class and they love it. Beth and Matt give very clear instructions and demonstrations and are very patient with the little ones. Both come from a professional dance background and are very talented dancers and instructors. Wouldn't take my children anywhere else!!! xxx— Frankie Gratty

Both Matt and Beth give their all to every student and have created such a happy safe space where you can learn and grow as a dancer. I look forward to every lesson and can say it is the highlight of my week! I have built in confidence and have learnt so much along the way. I would recommend to anyone who is wanting to get out of the house and have fun!— Grant Haining
I’ve been having lessons for a month now after switching dance instructor’s and I wanted to share how impressed I’ve been with Beth & Matt, not only are the facilities lovely, I couldn’t fault them, the lessons are fabulous! They are friendly, down to earth, and professional. Long may the lessons continue as I’m throughly enjoying them! X x X— Laura Statham
Start with a beginners' class covering the basic hold, posture and a first simple dance. No partner or experience is needed to begin.
The waltz is a common first dance thanks to its slow, even rhythm, and a social foxtrot works well too. Both let beginners feel the timing easily.
Salsa's basic step is simple and repeats on a clear count, so it comes quickly. Timing and styling develop steadily with practice.
Yes, beginner classes are built for people who have never danced. Everyone starts from scratch.
Common moves include the grapevine, kick-ball-change, pivot turn, shuffle and coaster step. Beginner dances link a few of these into repeating sequences.
Short, repetitive dances are usually taught first because they are quick to grasp. That is where beginners are eased in.
