Why learn with us?

Joining a class is easy!

Our dance classes run throughout the year, and complete beginners are always welcome. There’s no need to bring a partner, it’s all pay-as-you-go, and you don’t have to pre-book - just come along!

All of our group classes run for 90 minutes

Our 90-minute dance classes provide plenty of time to practice, socialise, and enjoy learning!

We are proud to be rural, local, and community-focused

We believe that everyone - regardless of location - should have the opportunity to learn and enjoy dance. With us, learning to dance is about bringing people together and sharing the joy that music and partner dancing can bring to your life. 

We provide a structured and supportive learning environment

Learning to dance is a gradual process, and we enjoy helping our students discover and develop their dancing skills. Our classes and events are creative and encouraging, and we provide three levels of group classes to offer a clear progression path.

We teach skills, not just steps

We teach practical dancing skills, preparing you to feel confident and at ease in a wide variety of social settings - from a Tea Dance - to a vintage event - to a ball, party or wedding - to holidaying on a cruise ship!

We are professionally qualified and experienced

Emma is a Registered Teacher with the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD), professionally qualified by the International Dance Teachers' Association (IDTA), and a member of The Guild of Professional Teachers of Dance, Movement to Music, and Dramatic Arts.

TESTIMONIALS

  • Barbara

    “I have had the pleasure of knowing Emma both as a dance teacher and as a dear friend for the last ten years. She is an amazing teacher, with a deep understanding of various dance styles. She shares her knowledge with her students with great enthusiasm. She is passionate about dance and teaching and has patience and provides support if it is needed. Everyone is made welcome including single ladies. Through dance Emma helped me to recover emotionally and physically from my operation. She is professional and kind. I admire her teaching precision. She can turn a new-to-dance student with an attitude of "I can't do it" to one of "I can do it".  I can highly recommend Emma to everybody who wants to learn dancing.”

  • Alisha

    “Emma’s dance classes are truly wonderful! She’s so friendly and fun and gets everyone up and dancing! The group classes are always full of friendly and wonderful people, a great night out! Emma also helped us with our wedding dance and for this I could not recommend her highly enough!! She was truly amazing and we felt so good during our first dance!”

  • John

    “The biggest thank you is reserved for Miss Emma, who choreographed and trained the team, as well as performing with them to help along a few of our more nervous performers. Well done Emma!”

  • Logan & Tash

    “Thank you so much for being a special part of our day. We loved our dance to bits and you did such a fantastic job teaching us! Everyone was so impressed with the dance, and one of Tash’s friends has lost track of how many times she’s watched the video of it!”
