What Dancers Say About Tracie's Latin Club

4.8/5 from 41 Google reviews.

I recently booked a session for my fiance and me to learn dancing for our upcoming wedding in July as we wanted to learn a routine for our first dance on the day.

I had looked at some other websites but stumbled across this one and found the website very easy to use and very informative of what we wanted and we booked on to a four week dance course. Once booking, which was also a very easy process and speaking with Tracie who ironed out a few questions I had, we began to look forward to our first lesson!

On 6th March, the day of our first lesson we arrived early and were welcomed in and gree— Ricky Jarvis

I started at TLC last year in May and its been a fantastic year, everyone is so friendly and I have met a whole new family! I flew through my 6 week course, salsa lessons were on a weds and Thurs and bachata every other Thursday. Marcus who teaches level 4 on1 and on2 on a thursday, is very thorough and precise, he explains moves very well and i enjoy his lessons. They have something on every night basically. They are constantly holding events and monthly caliente's. I'm so happy I decided to start salsa, it's become a great hobby of mine and I've even introduced my partner to it and he's curr— Kerry Travers

Really good classes. Experience teachers. They split you into groups depending on experience. Really detailed moves for you to practice. No dance partner required as we swapp so you can experience different dancers. Social dancing afterwards so you can practice what you've learnt. They have social events too. Ample parking on both venue and opposite (quick fix). For beginners you need to book x4 weeks course online on their websit. As you advance onto the next level you can pay at the door but it's cheaper online.— Josephine Seymour

The best place to learn to dance in Southampton, whether is Latin or Ballroom they have all the styles! What makes TLC special is the people that run the club, they make you feel welcome from the moment you're in, they're really friendly, patient and dedicated. I've been attending for over 3 years and they have become my second family. Dancing at TLC is great fun, you're in a safe environment and the excercise is wonderful for body and soul. I can't recommend them enough!— Rosele V
