If you’re unsure of what to do, the best thing is to drop-in to our Monday weekly Class. Here you will meet everyone and get a sense of the dances.

Having done a couple of drop-ins, you can decide if you’d like to take a Beginners Foundation Course, which we suggest everyone do at the early stage of their dance journey, even if they are an experienced mover in other styles.

If you are an intermediate/advanced dancer, you may take one of our specialised self-paced courses (via online video) to acquire new skills however we do not recommend these courses for new dancers.

For us, the answer is simple. If you want to dance consistently Membership is the way to go as you receive lots of discounts and huge perks.

Drop-in (£16 per class)
Membership (£60 for a calendar month of classes)

Simply sign up for a Monthly Membership (no signup or cancellation fee) and the class fee (£60) will be deducted from your account each month. You can sign up for a Monthly Membership and get dancing at any time. You may also cancel at any time.

With the Monthly Membership, you will receive the following:

• 15% off class prices
