What a fun way to learn to dance.

What started out as wanting to learn some useful dance moves has turned into sooo much more.
We'd never danced before so joined the weekly "strictly style" class with a bunch of other nervous newbies. Between Kevin's patience and Louise's sense of humour we were taught the usual Jives and Waltzs we find so good for social occasions. If that was the end of it, we'd have come away pleased as punch but it's the little hidden gems that has kept us going back for years now. We've giggled our way through Rumbas, Sambas, Paso Doble and many many more and now regard
the other regular attendees as friends
The time flies by and it has become our favourite hour of the week. I can't recommend this class highly enough...

Joanne & Gaz

Gaz and I began dance lessons with Kevin six weeks before our wedding and we had one lesson per week, for five weeks.
Kevin’s wife Louise was so easy to speak to and was always contactable via email if you needed to liaise about the dance lessons.
Even after the first three lessons, Gaz and I were feeling confident with our dance routine and going through the practice and refining stage 😌
It was great fun and we found that we had a love for dancing together by the end of it 💃🕺
We would 100% recommend Kevin, as he is such a great guy but also very skilled in a range of dance styles and put us at ease from day one. Needless to say our routine was flawless on our big day 🙌🏻

Kevin Conwell is an incredible dance teacher and choreographer!

We WOWED our guests with a beautiful first dance. During our lessons Kevin broke down the routine so it was very easy to learn and remember. Kevin focused on the details making sure that the routine including spins and dips were suitable in my wedding dress, ensuring everything would look perfect on the day. It was such a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend to anyone wanting a special first dance.

Highly recommend to anyone doing a first dance! Kevin was so knowledgeable and helpful, he made the whole process so easy! He actually helped pick our first dance song – having a prepared dance meant we weren’t as nervous on the day either and we could enjoy it a bit more! Louise was also extremely helpful getting all of our appointments organised and timed out perfectly to line up with the wedding! One of the things we miss most about wedding prep is getting to go to these dance lessons!
