Learn from some of the most experienced choreographers in the society! ⭐️

Starting next week, will be trialling brand new and exciting pop-up classes taught by some of our most experienced choreographers. There will be roughly x3 pop up classes per week, each 2 hours long to really allow you to perfect the routine and film (if you’d like) to share on your stories! Think London studio guest-teacher workshops! There will be a variety of styles so there’s something for everyone. 💃

We understand that it’s coming up to a busy time with comps and assignment deadlines so we wanted to keep giving you classes without the pressure/ weekly commitment.

Fitness classes will still be running this term as usual.

Keep an eye out on our stories to get a sneak peek of songs/ choreography from each teacher! See you in classes!!

It's not too late to join Dance Society!

This term we have new classes starting up, so now is the perfect chance to get involved!

We welcome all levels. Whether you’ve never danced a day in your life or you’ve been dancing since you were 4, everyone is welcome and teachers will work with you to accommodate your level.

If you’re feeling nervous to come to your first class, don’t worry! Others will be in the same boat as you since we’ve got new teachers coming in this term so you won’t be the only one 🤍

If you don’t want to commit yet, and just want to give it a go, why not try our £1 Pay-As-You-Go membership? Each £1 membership acts as one ‘ticket’ to a class (so if you bought 3x £1 tickets, you could go to 3 classes). All information about purchasing memberships can be found in our pinned posts and class timetables are available in our highlights. For any other questions please don’t hesitate to reach out us!

We are so excited to welcome you into our dance family!
