Dancing Classes?

Question

Hi can anyone recommend a good dancing classes in London for beginners.

I am not a good dancer but would like to dance. Any recommendation what type of dancing should i take as a starter to get a good body movements

Answer 1

I'd recommend having a look at Danceworks http://www.danceworks.net (near Bond Street) and Pineapple http://www.pineapple.uk.com (near Covent Garden). They both have good beginners dance classes.

If you want a particular recommendation I'd suggest the Xpress Yo'self class at Danceworks. It is a street / hip hop style and a lot of fun and good exercise. The teacher Hakeem is really enthusiastic. The classes he does on Monday at 6pm and Tuesday at 8:15pm are suitable for beginners.

I'd also suggest having a look at this page which reviews 10 different dance classes in London - http://www.reviewmylife.com/dance_classe...

Answer 2

Ballet is the almighty dance of passion. It encourages great poise and structure in your body.

But jazz is much more fun!!

Try both.

Answer 3

Hey there

I'm on the other side of the world so I can't recommend any classes, but I'll just give my experience: I know it's sort of back to front but I took jazz class first because it's so much fun. Ballet however is unbeatable for improving poise.

Answer 4

Ok. ballet is the ultimate dance genre for poise and technique so you might want to start with that but for easier and freer work modern/jazz is a good one. Try the ISTD for names of registered teachers/schools. Good luck and enjoy.
