“Highly professional teachers, fantastic team with a sense of humour. I have learnt so much in such a short time. Lessons are well structured, with lots of opportunities to practice and attend social events and weekends/dancing holidays. There is a good atmosphere in the classes. I met many really nice people and even though I don't have a dancing partner, there is always someone I can dance with.”

“Lorraine has just been amazing teaching me and my now wife our first dance. She has the best possible style of teaching puts you at ease, makes you laugh and relaxes you. Don't get me wrong she will put you right if you aren't getting it right but in the best possible way. I went from little knowledge to being happy in front of close on 200 friends and family to dance the amazing dance she choreographed for us. She has given us a love for ball room and we will continue to dance, just now as husband and wife….”
