In the space of a year I have progressed from a complete novice to an active competitor qualifying in the top 3 for Blackpool and it's all down to Rubies Dance Centre! Head Coach Neil provides me with fundamental, technical knowledge to give me the best foundations on which to improve my ballroom and Latin dancing. Rubies is made up of many fantastic dancers of all levels and from a range of backgrounds and I love being a part of it's supportive culture. We have so much fun as a school and know that if we work hard we can achieve great things. Thank you Rubies Dance Centre for welcoming me int— Lauren Wright

Everything that I looked for in a Dance School:

-Knowledgeable and experienced Coach
-Visible results with time and hard work
-Great Team feeling and Team support

Competitions are also an effective tool to improve your dancing, character and confidence. Not only you can track your progress and win some trophies, but (if you fancy) you can wear sparkly Ballroom and Latin dresses/outfits, go all out with hair and make up and have lots of fun with the Team! All this while keeping fit during training…
So don't be afraid to try out the Team for Ballroom and Latin dancing at Rubies Dance Centre!— Sami G.

Rubies Dance Centre is great place to start your dancing journey. I joined Rubies in November 2016. The head coach Neil who has a great deal of experience in coaching knows exactly how to make you a better dancer.

I joined Rubies with little experience in Ballroom and Latin, thanks to our coach Neil, I am qualified to compete in Blackpool, the national competition, within ten months. I could never imagine to dance in Blackpool within such a short period of time. Neil makes it possible!

Rubies is not just a place to dance, it is also a place to meet great people and have some fun!— Lisa Jing Wang

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you learn to dance without a partner?

Yes. Many classes rotate partners or teach steps individually, so you can start alone and still take part fully. It is worth checking which sessions are partner-based.

What should I wear to a beginner dance class?

Comfortable clothing that moves with you, paired with smooth-soled shoes, is the sensible choice. Avoid grippy trainers, which make turning harder.

How much does a dance class usually cost?

Prices depend on the class type, its length and whether you pay per lesson or by block. The centre can give you exact figures for its sessions.

Which dance is best for beginners?

A steady social style such as the waltz is a common first choice thanks to its repeating rhythm. The ideal starting dance depends on what you hope to do with it.

What is the best dance to start as an adult?

Adults often begin with a slower ballroom dance, building confidence before moving to livelier styles. Choosing something you enjoy makes the learning stick.

Is dancing good for heart failure?

Gentle dancing can help general cardiovascular fitness, though anyone with heart failure should seek medical advice first. A doctor can guide a safe level of activity.
