Red Glass Sky is a London-based dance outfit specialising in belly dance, samba and Caribbean styles, led by a performer who both teaches and appears at events. It brings a professional, entertainer's polish to lively, expressive dance forms. Students describe classes that make you believe you can do it and then find you actually can. It suits anyone curious about world and carnival dance styles.
The reviews paint a picture of an encouraging, highly capable teacher, Sandrine, praised for her professionalism, versatility and classical grounding. One student notes striking value for a term of classes and warns, cheerfully, that you will feel the workout the next day. It suits people wanting energetic, confidence-building dance from an experienced performer.
The offering here sits apart from the usual dance classes in London by focusing on belly dance, samba and Caribbean styles. These are expressive, rhythm-led forms that also give a genuine workout, so they appeal to those wanting something beyond standard dance lessons London studios list. General enquiries about salsa classes London or line dancing London are better placed elsewhere, but for carnival and world dance this is a specialist. Classes build technique, musicality and stamina together.
Newcomers are welcomed and coaxed along, so you need not arrive with any experience. Wear comfortable clothing you can move in freely and be ready for an energetic session. Bring water and expect to feel pleasantly worked afterwards.
The classes and performances are based in London and reachable by the city's usual transport links. Confirm the exact class venue when you book.
Such good fun!
Sandrine makes you believe you can really do it and then, amazingily, you can!!
I think £50 for 13 weeks is really good value.
You won't regret signing up for these classes, but be prepared to 'feel it' in your muscles during the following days; it'll be so worth it!
See you there!— Susan Clark

Salsa is approachable at beginner level thanks to its simple repeating step and steady count, though this teacher specialises in other styles. Most people dance a basic pattern within their first lesson wherever they learn.
Yes, salsa and the world styles taught here are all open to complete beginners. No prior dance experience is needed to start.
Adults can take up ballet, though it is a different discipline from the styles offered here. It builds posture and strength when approached patiently.
There is no age limit for enjoying ballet recreationally. Only professional careers have a narrow starting window.
Grapevine, step-touch, kick-ball-change, pivot turn and shuffle are the usual building blocks. Line dancing is a separate style from the carnival dances taught here.
Short repeating dances built from grapevines and step-touches are easiest for newcomers. A dedicated line dancing class can point you to a starter routine.
