My daughter spent most weekends of her life here and loved every minute. She is now off to study Musical Theatre at Uni. She had excellent teaching reflected by her exam grades and has made friends for life. I totally recommend Elite.— A B

Common building blocks include the grapevine, the step-touch, the kick-ball-change, the pivot turn and the shuffle. Most beginner dances combine just a few of these.
Short four-wall routines with a repeating count are easiest to learn, because the pattern comes back round and is quick to memorise.
Yes. Many styles are danced solo, and partner classes rotate the group so you can join without bringing anyone.
Comfortable clothes you can move in and clean, smooth-soled shoes are all that is needed. Heavily gripped trainers are best avoided for turning styles.
Costs depend on the area and the format, with group classes generally cheaper than private lessons. Check current prices with the academy.
It depends on your interests, though line dancing, ballroom and salsa are friendly ways to begin. Pick what appeals and the basics follow.
