About Stardust Studios

Reviewers describe teaching that keeps people coming back for years, with several adults calling it the social highlight of their week and parents praising the confidence their children have gained since starting young. The mood is friendly and familiar, the sort of place where classmates become friends over time.

Classes & Dance Styles

Timetables here cover tap, ballet and Zumba among other styles, with sessions grouped by age and stage so beginners are not thrown in at the deep end. If you are searching for dance classes in Ashford or specifically adult dance classes in Ashford, there are options pitched at people starting fresh as well as those with some experience. Line dancing enquiries are worth raising directly, as availability of particular styles can shift term to term. A typical class works through a warm-up, technique and short routines you can gradually piece together.

What to Expect on Your First Visit

Newcomers can expect a relaxed first session where the teacher explains the basics and you learn by following along rather than being put on the spot. Comfortable clothing you can move in and soft, flexible footwear are a sensible starting point, and the studio can advise on anything more specific once you know which style you are taking.

What Dancers Say About Stardust Studios

4.7/5 from 17 Google reviews.

Hannah is amazing! My partner and I were looking for someone to choreograph our first dance for our wedding, and after being let down by another studio we had to learn a dance very quickly. We learnt our first dance with Hannah in a few 1-1 lessons in two weeks! Hannah is very talented, creative, bubbly, and worked with us really well, and adapted the dance in places we needed it. We also had a great booking experience prior to meeting Hannah. we couldn't have asked for a better experience and we would do it all over again if we could! we hope to join one of her classes soon! Thank you— Marina

I have joined dance classes as an adult with Stardust Studio's for the last 15 years. I currently take tap, ballet and zumba lessons. The classes help keep me fit, but over the years I have also developed good friendships with my classmates. It's the social highlight of my week. Stardust classes are such a fun and an ideal way of getting away from it all for a while. Natalie welcomes everyone and her classes are suitable for all ages and levels.— Cara Robinson

My daughter has attended Stardust since 2017. She has loved it since that very first class and who can blame her! The teachers are brilliant and the shows they organise regularly as first class. We have been particularly impressed with the provision offered during Lockdown and Stardust were ahead of the game with organising it all from the very beginning. Would recommend to anyone whose child loves to sing, dance or act!— Julia Finnis

Just graduated after 13 years dancing with this amazing school and being a member of the incredible family that is created in classes and across the whole school. I couldn’t be prouder of Stardust and the opening of the amazing new studio! Will always be thankful for my training and how many incredible opportunities and friendships that’s been provided, now moving onwards and upwards to professional dance college!— Marinajade Maggie

Frequently Asked Questions

What are 5 basic steps in line dancing?

Most line dances are built from a small set of moves such as the grapevine, the kick-ball-change, a heel or toe touch, a shuffle and a simple turn. Once these become familiar you can follow a surprising number of routines. A beginner class introduces them one at a time.

What is the easiest line dance to learn for beginners?

Simple four-wall dances with short, repeating sequences are the gentlest place to start, as the same pattern comes round again on each wall. Classics with a slow count give you time to think. A teacher will usually begin with one of these before adding anything trickier.

Can you learn to dance without a partner?

Absolutely, and many people do. Styles taught here work perfectly well solo, and group classes are designed so you never need to bring anyone with you.

What should I wear to a beginner dance class?

Comfortable clothes you can stretch and move in, plus footwear appropriate to the style, are all you need to begin. If in doubt, contact the studio and they will point you in the right direction for your chosen class.

How much does a dance class usually cost?

Fees vary by style, class length and whether you pay per session or by the term. For current rates it is best to contact Stardust Studios directly, as they can explain the options for the class you have in mind.

Which dance is best for beginners?

The best first dance is one you will look forward to each week, whether that is a gentle ballet class, tap for its rhythm or something fitness-led. Trying a taster session is the surest way to find your fit.
