What Dancers Say About Timms School of Dance

5/5 from 18 Google reviews.

Having previously been a student at Timms School of dance, I chose for my two daughters to attend. It’s like a little family where everyone is made to feel welcome. Whilst the teachers are professional, they are also friendly and have lots of fun with the pupils. Both studios are clean and are of a high standard. Both my children have gained immense confidence and social skills, such as good listening, taking instruction, along with their dance technique. After my eldest attending for nearly 10 years and my other daughter for 7 years, they love being part of the Timms family!— Claire

A lovely family friendly dance school which is very well run. My child was new to dance for her age range but was welcomed with open arms and has progressed very quickly. The teachers genuinely care for the children and communication is always honest and open. My child loves going to classes which are fun as well as educational and has built some long term friendships because of it. I would definitely recommend Timms to everyone.— 1978 “‪Nicthfc‬” powers

My daughter has been dancing at Timms for 9 years and she still loves it as much now as she did when she started. The teaching is of a very high standard, Denise and the team are all brilliant. My daughter has made many friends and gets to take part in shows and festivals, as well as doing exams. If you are looking for a friendly dance school for your child I highly recommend Timms.— suzi carr

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you start ballroom dancing?

Most people start with a beginners' class that introduces posture, hold and a couple of the easier dances before adding more. You do not need any experience or a partner to begin.

What ballroom dance to learn first?

The waltz is a common starting point because its steady three-beat rhythm and repeating box pattern are straightforward to learn. Many teachers pair it with a social dance so you have some variety early on.

How hard is it to learn salsa?

Salsa's basic step is quick to grasp, and most people can move to the music within a lesson or two. The timing takes a little practice, but regular classes make it feel natural before long.

Can a non-dancer learn salsa?

Absolutely. Beginner salsa classes are designed for people with no background in dance, breaking the moves down slowly. A sense of rhythm helps but is not essential to start.

Is it possible to learn ballet as an adult?

Yes. Adult ballet classes are increasingly common and welcome complete beginners. Progress may feel slower than for children, but the technique, posture and strength benefits are well worth it.

What age is too late to start ballet?

There is no upper age limit for enjoying ballet. Adults of any age can begin at a beginner level and build steadily, provided they work at a pace that suits their body.
