Classes land on a steady weekly timetable with evening and weekend slots in studios near the Triangle, Boscombe and Westbourne. Drop in when it suits or grab a four-week block to save a little. No tie-ins, no memberships — just rock up, dance and head off lighter than you arrived. Got a first dance looming? That is us as well.

Drop in on one class for £10, or book a four-week block and every session is just £8. Forget contracts, joining fees and hidden catches — dive into a style, see if it sparks and ride it from there. Keen to begin? Get in touch.
Pick Your Style
Twenty styles are up on the board — go for whichever one sparks and we'll sort the rest. Every session is friendly, beginner-ready and open to absolutely everyone.
Bachata
Slinky Dominican partner dancing built on close connection, rolling hips and soft body waves — all set to those addictive, romantic Latin beats.
Bachata Classes

Poise, line and control through barre, centre and travelling sequences — classical training reshaped for adult learners of any standard.
Ballet Classes
Ballroom
Glide through waltz, foxtrot and quickstep with a partner — refined technique that shines at weddings, socials and seaside galas alike.

Hip drops, shimmies, snake arms and rippling undulations — a graceful, sensual style that quietly builds core strength and self-assurance.
Belly Dance Classes
Bollywood
Joyful, high-spirited numbers fusing expressive Bollywood hand work with the booming beat of Hindi film hits — feel-good cardio with a real sense of celebration.
Bollywood Classes
Burlesque
Playful, glamorous numbers full of chairs, floor moves and feather-boa attitude — a cheeky confidence boost dressed in vintage sparkle.
Burlesque Classes

Dance Class FAQ
The questions we hear most before someone joins a dance class in Bournemouth — styles on offer, prices, experience needed, where we are and what to bring.
What dance classes do you offer in Bournemouth?

Right now you can choose from any of these: Bachata, Ballet, Ballroom, Belly Dance, Bollywood, Burlesque, Commercial, Contemporary, Flamenco, Heels, Hip-Hop, Irish Dancing, Jazz, K-Pop, Line Dancing, Pole Dance, Salsa, Street Dance, Tango and Tap.

How much do dance classes in Bournemouth cost?
Drop in for a single class and it's £10. Book a four-week block for £32 instead and every class works out at just £8 — a tidy £8 saved over paying as you go. Forget contracts, joining fees and sign-up commitments; none of that applies here.
Do I need any dance experience to start?
None whatsoever. Every class is graded for mixed ability, with instructors breaking each step down and building from the basics, so first-timers settle in happily next to the regulars. Almost everyone in the room began exactly where you are about to.
Where in Bournemouth do the dance classes take place?
We are finalising studios across Bournemouth town centre and nearby areas such as Boscombe, Winton and Westbourne. Get in touch to put your name down and we will let you know the moment doors open.
Is a one-off taster class an option?
Absolutely — that's exactly why the drop-in exists. Pay your £10, enjoy a single class with nothing to tie you down, and if it sweeps you up, grab a four-week block whenever suits.
What do I wear to a Bournemouth dance class?
Wear something comfy you can move freely in — leggings, joggers and a t-shirt or vest all work well. Shoes vary by style: trainers suit street, hip-hop and commercial; ballet and contemporary go barefoot or in soft shoes; heels and burlesque want a sturdy heel; and salsa, ballroom and tango prefer a smooth-soled or proper dance shoe. Your teacher will point out anything extra you need when you book in.
