How the courses work

  • No experience needed. Every course is designed for complete beginners, or anyone coming back after a long break.

  • Join at the start of any course. Courses run on a rolling 5-week cycle, so there’s always another one coming up. The next start dates are shown on each course page.

  • Not sure yet? Try week 1 as a one-off taster for £7.50, then book the remaining 4 weeks for £26 if you love it. Courses can’t be joined after week 1, so everyone builds the basics together.

  • Can’t make every week? Get in touch and we’ll work out the best option for you.

  • For adults aged 17+. If you’re 16 and would like to join, please get in touch first.

After your course

Finish your course and your first Level 1 class is free. Once you’ve finished, you’ll be ready for our weekly Level 1 and Open Level classes, where you can keep building on what you’ve learned, at your own pace. See our adult dance class timetable.

Fancy commercial / street dance instead?

Our Level 1 Commercial Street Dance class is suitable for complete beginners, so there’s no course to take first. Just book a class and come along.

Questions beginners often ask

I’ve never danced before. Will I be the only one?

Not at all. Everyone on a beginner course is starting out too, and our teachers go at a pace that suits the group.

What should I wear?

Something comfortable you can move in. Each course page tells you what footwear you’ll need.

Am I too old to start?

Never. Our adult dancers range from 17 to people in their 50s and 60s.
