Do I need a partner?
No. You can come on your own. In fact, you will learn more quickly by yourself as we tailor everything to you.
I'm a terrible dancer with two left feet. Can I still learn?
Definitely. Without question. I've met many adults who claimed to have two left feet and not one left my lessons without being able to dance at least a few steps. Those who continued often became the most committed dancers. Private lessons are the easiest way to start learning as I tailor everything to your learning style.
Do I need special shoes?
Not in the beginning. Anything that attaches firmly to your foot i.e. not flip flops is okay. Ideally your shoes would not have a rubber sole so you could turn more easily on the floor.
When do you teach? Can I have a different day/time each week?
I teach out of my own private space which means I have much more freedom that most teachers who have to rent halls. I teach most weekday mornings, afternoons and evenings with occasional weekends if a student cannot do other times. Your lesson schedule can change so it's conventient for you every week.
Do you teach group classes?
I offer group classes for small groups of friends who want to learn together. A 55 minute lesson for more than two people is £45.
Every six weeks or so I offer group dance classes for adults open to the public. If you are interested please get in touch and I will let you know about upcoming classes.
Every three or four months I arrange a night out with all my students to go out dancing together as a group. It's a low stress way to experience Bristol's dancing and nightlife scene.
