You would be surprised how easy, enjoyable it is to Dance when shown & taught correctly with a professional teacher, who can "break it down" for you. No more feeling of embarrassment when you "have to be on a dance floor"!
You are welcome in all courses, and you may be surprised to meet others and not be  the only one! Just ring us to enquire.

As Parent do not leave your child to be in the same embarrassment than probably his father, give him a chance to learn to move & dance! We take them from 2yrs 1/2 till late teens, courses are made equally enjoyable for boys & girls with special steps & routines for both, you don't dress a boy in pink, we don't teach him romantic routines!

We have a specially equipped dance studio. with a sprung wooden floor (too many people do not realize that any "hard floor" such as tiles, wood on concrete... should be band for gyms & dance studios as the body joints, ankles, knees, spine...suffer so much jumping on those. It is most unhealthy! It is also equipped for special courses such as Ballet...with full wall mirrors & bares, curtains are pulled in front of mirrors, lights deemed for social dancing to create a nicer atmosphere.
