What it’s like

Weekly dance classes running from toddler movement sessions at 18 months right up to teen street and Latin at 18.

Classes split by age, which makes sense once you see the range. The littlest ones start with Didi Dance from 18 months to 3 years, then Dance Fusion picks up from age 3 through to 10 in four separate age bands. From 11 upwards it moves into Ballroom, Latin, Commercial and Street, so a teenager who fancies proper partner dancing has just as much on offer as one who wants street.

The pricing gives you a feel for how it works rather than a full list. A 16 week beginners Ballroom and Latin course for adults is £20, and a 4 week Solo Latin course is £10, both of which suggest this is a proper term-by-term commitment rather than a drop-in session. That's worth knowing if you're picturing a one-off taster; you're signing up for a run of weeks.

There's a large free car park on site, which takes the sting out of a regular weekly trip, and indoor seating plus on-site food mean you're not stuck waiting in the car if you've got a sibling in tow or fancy a coffee while you wait. With classes split so finely by age, it's easy to get the right group for your child rather than lumping a 5-year-old in with a 10-year-old.

Given the age spread runs from 18 months to 18, this is one you could genuinely stick with for years, moving your child up through the Dance Fusion bands and into the teen classes as they grow.
