The studio

An evening out, every single week

Our certified, full-time professionals have spent decades helping people just like you become comfortable, confident dancers. Whether you're preparing for a wedding, reconnecting as a couple, or simply looking for something wonderful to do with your week — this is your place.

What we teach

Find your dance

From a first waltz to a Friday-night salsa, every style is taught from the very first step. Start anywhere — they're all more fun than they look, and they all start the same way: one lesson.

Your first lesson

Easier than you think, we promise

Your first lesson works the same way a box step does: three simple moves, in order. Most people are dancing within the first ten minutes.

  1. Book a time

    Pick a time that suits you online or give us a call. Come alone or bring a partner — either is perfectly normal here.

  2. Take the floor

    Your instructor meets you, finds out what you'd love to dance, and walks you through your very first steps.

  3. Leave dancing

    You'll finish your first lesson with real steps to a real song — and a plan for wherever you want to take it.

Wedding dance

Your first dance, beautifully done

Three minutes, every eye in the room — and the two of you, completely at ease. We choreograph first dances, father-daughter and mother-son dances to your song, at your pace, starting from wherever you are.

Couples usually start 2–3 months before the big day. Last-minute? We've done wonders in a fortnight.

From the floor

What our dancers say

We walked in for our wedding dance and never left. Two years on, Friday lessons are the highlight of our week.

Sarah & Michael

Wedding couple, now regulars

I came alone, terrified, with two left feet. Everyone was so kind — I was waltzing by week three.

Diane

Ballroom student

The most beautiful studio I've ever danced in, and the instruction matches the room.
