Classes for beginners
Dance, Ballet & Fitness for beginners
New to dance? Complete beginner? Afraid you have two-left-feet?
WAKE up the Dancer Inside You at Danceworks!
Regardless of whether you have never danced (outside of your bedroom), or have been inspired by dance shows on TV but don’t know where to start, or if you just want to learn something new and get fit doing it… Welcome to Danceworks!
You may worry that dance studios are full of perfect bodies, brilliant professionals, and that you’ll feel out of place and be looked down upon. That will not be your experience at Danceworks. We pride ourselves on being accessible to everyone from complete beginners to advanced professionals, and we provide classes for all levels. From the moment you step through our door, you will be made to feel welcome by our friendly, helpful reception team, who can advise you on the best classes to fulfil your dance and fitness aims. Come on your own, with friends or partners – we will find the right class for you.
Get started today with our selection of beginner classes below, and keep an eye out for our multi-week courses which can guide you from a complete beginner to an improver!
When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It’s to enjoy each step along the way.
