I trained at Danceworld for around 17 years and I truly could not recommend it enough. It created a caring and safe environment where I could explore the kind of performer I wanted to be! It prepared me for furthering my dance career and I made lifelong friends who I couldnt imagine being without now! Itβs not a club, but a family π€β Sarah Haggarty

Great dance school in the heart of West Lothian.β Reiss Dunn
Yes, many attend on their own without any issue. Numerous styles are danced solo, and partner classes usually rotate so everyone takes part.
Comfortable, breathable clothing you can move in works well, along with shoes suited to the style. Contact the school for advice on specifics.
Prices depend on the style, length and format of the session. The school can provide current rates if you get in touch directly.
Styles with clear, repeating steps tend to suit beginners well, though much depends on what you enjoy. The teachers can suggest a good place to start.
Sociable styles that are widely taught from scratch make good first choices for adults. Pick whichever appeals most and build from there.
Gentle dancing can be a pleasant form of activity, but anyone with a heart condition should consult their doctor first. Always follow professional medical advice.
