What it’s like
Ballroom and Latin lessons for adults, kids and wedding couples, with a 45 minute trial lesson to test the waters before committing.
This is a studio for learning to dance properly, not a drop-in disco. They run ballroom and Latin classes, junior sessions for younger dancers, and a dedicated wedding dance course for anyone who's realised they need to sort a first dance before the big day. There are social dance parties too, if you want to actually use what you've learned rather than just practise it in a mirror.
The trial lesson is the sensible way in: a 45 minute private session for £35, so you get proper one-on-one attention rather than being lost in a group before you know your hold from your footwork. It's not cheap for three quarters of an hour, but a private lesson with a teacher focused only on you is a different thing to a group class, and it means you can work out fast whether this studio and this style suits you.
Opening hours are generous through the week, 1pm to 10pm Tuesday to Friday, with a shorter Saturday slot from 11:30am to 7pm. That spread makes it easy to fit a lesson around work or school pickup, though there's nothing on Sundays or Mondays from what they list. Parking is the one bit to plan around: it's paid on weekday bays, free on Saturdays and Sundays on the single yellow, and free everywhere after 6:30pm, so an evening class is the cheapest time to turn up by car.
The junior classes mean this isn't only for adults, and the wedding lessons are clearly aimed at couples rather than kids.
