The Dance Workshop

My husband Thomas and I were so incredibly lucky to have met Mel! She is not only a phenomenal teacher and expert at her craft, she is such a genuine, kind hearted soul who creates such a warm, fun and welcoming space to speak freely if you want to change anything or ask any questions. Learning our first dance is such a fond memory for the both of us to look back on, the one wedding task that you can fully zone out from everything else and be present with each other. We wanted a “wow” dance and Mel gave us wow! Every lesson was so fun, look no further than Mel for your wedding dance, you will have the best time ever 💃 🕺

The studio staff are warm and welcoming, the studio bright, fresh and well set up. Every class started with a warm up followed by learning basic dance moves and combinations that led to a dance routine. The classes are fantastic for everyone, people who have never danced before or former dancers wanting to get back into it. Chris’ (instructor) is a fabulous teacher, his skill, enthusiasm, energy, humour and playlist make the 75 min class fly buy! You leave at the end of each class smiling, and slightly sweaty! At the end of 6 weeks I can actually cut a few new dance moves and I have made some new connections! I am feeling more confident, enthusiastic and energised! I can’t wait for the next class to start! Highly recommend this class at DW, Chris rocks!

I did the ballet basics workshop with Sarah and had the greatest 6 weeks! Her classes are so dynamic, she's got the best energy and passion for ballet and teaching that it makes me look forward to come to class every week. I've signed up again to ballet basics to learn more from her before moving on to beginner ballet simply because I've learnt so much and I just know she has more to teach me :)

The absolute best place for getting into dance - be you any age, fitness or experience level. Chris was a sheer delight - impossible not to fall in love with dancing given his energy and incredible music selections. If you’ve ever thought about learning don’t put it off - just do it! It’s a safe space, everyone welcome and you’ll have a bucket load of fun and most importantly start moving again.

I did the 6 weeks heels basics course with dance workshop and it was amazing. The teacher Sarah was so supportive and encouraging and really guided our technique and listened to our needs as a class. Couldn't have asked for a better teacher and made it so enjoyable, highly recommend trying. The course catered for all levels and really inclusive and supportive environment.
