What Dancers Say About Stourbridge Dance Academy

4.5/5 from 8 Google reviews.

I started dancing myself with stourbridge Dance Academy when I was a young child and I danced there until I was 18 and gave birth to my oldest child. The staff, principle and vice principle are amazing. My 2 older children now dance at the Academy and love every second of it. My daughter does Tap, Ballet, Disco, Gymnastics and is now a member of 1 of the Amazing troupes they run for members of the academy and my son does Tap, Boys street dance & Gymnastics and although a lot of people assume dancing isn’t for boys….Stourbridge Dance Academy love to see boys in class and encourage them.

A brilliant and friendly dance studio offering a variety of class for ages 3+. Beverley has worked wonders to build this dance school to what it has become with over 30 years experience.

She gives the pupils opportunities to perform as well as succeed in exams. Beverley and her team have taught my daughter for 8 years as well as teaching me for over 20 years. Her staff are excellent and friendly and always bring the best out of the dancers.— Hannah Pratt

What a wonderful place for kids to learn to dance and be active, our two boys love going there to dance and do gymnastics staff are friendly and helpful with a small shop for buying outfits and shoes. I only marked this down one star as payment is via cheque or cash, also it can be a little crowded between classes not a fault of the company just the layout of the building, a toilet is located just before getting into the waiting area.— Robert Plant

My children have danced here for years and I wouldn't take them anywhere else!! The Principal and staff are lovely!! My children (including my son who started in the boys only class and then progressed to other dance styles) have been given so many wonderful experienced they wouldn't have had if it wasn't for this fab place!!— Louise Howell

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you start ballroom dancing?

Start with a beginner class or private lesson to learn the hold, posture and a basic step in one dance. You then build up your repertoire and timing over time.

What ballroom dance to learn first?

The waltz is a popular first dance because its slow three-time rhythm is easy to grasp. A teacher can advise the best starting point for you.

How hard is it to learn salsa?

Salsa is easy to begin thanks to its simple, repeating basic step. Sharpening your timing and partner work takes practice but comes steadily.

Can a non-dancer learn salsa?

Yes, salsa classes assume no experience and non-dancers are the norm in beginner groups. Confidence grows quickly with a few sessions.

What are 5 basic steps in line dancing?

Five common steps are the grapevine, step-touch, kick-ball-change, pivot turn and shuffle. Line dances mostly rearrange these familiar moves.

What is the easiest line dance to learn for beginners?

Dances built on repeated grapevines and touches are the easiest to start with. For the specific beginner routines here, it is best to contact the academy.
