Dance Faster. Dance Better. Dance Your Way.
Group classes are brilliant — social, fun, structured — but if you really want to speed up your learning, tidy up your technique or feel truly confident on the floor, nothing beats a private lesson.
Private lessons give you:
-
Personalised attention
-
Feedback tailored to you
-
Faster learning
-
The chance to work on details we simply can’t cover properly in a group
-
A better understanding of technique, style and movement
Whether you’re completely new, working towards examinations, preparing for a ProAm competition, putting together a special routine for your wedding day or simply want to glide around the floor without feeling like you’re escaping a crime scene — private lessons give you exactly what you need!

Sessions take place at our Fareham studio and are booked at mutually convenient times.
Whether you need focused attention, dedicated practice time, or a confidence boost, private lessons are the quickest, clearest and most effective way to improve your dancing.

For Social Dancers
Private lessons make social dancing smoother, easier and far more enjoyable, especially if you want confidence, clarity or help with those tricky steps! Private lessons give you time, space and focused attention — something group classes simply can’t match. They’re ideal if you learn best without distractions or want to understand how and why the steps work. We’ll help you: • Fix steps you’ve been unsure about • Improve posture, timing and balance • Build confidence and consistency • Feel comfortable dancing with different partners • Prepare for cruises, parties or events • Enjoy a proper dance around the floor with a professional A single private lesson can often solve something you’ve been battling with for months. That “penny-drop” moment happens a lot!
Medal Tests & Examinations
If you’re preparing for a medal test or technique exam, private lessons are essential. We focus on the quality and accuracy examiners are looking for. Group classes teach you the steps. Private lessons build the technique. We work on: • Posture & poise • Timing & musicality • Technical accuracy • Style & performance Our in-house examinations are normally held twice a year, in May and November. We bring in an experienced, external examiner to give you a friendly but detailed critique, including strengths, corrections and clear guidance on how to progress. These events are supportive, confidence-boosting and perfect for anyone who wants structure and direction in their dancing.
ProAm / Teacher–Student
Compete with your teacher at events across the UK - from small local comps to elite showcases. A brilliant route for dancers of any level to experience competitive dancing. ProAm lets you compete with a professional partner by your side. It’s perfect for dancers who want excitement, progression and unforgettable experiences. We work on: • Partnership skills • Technical precision • Presentation & expression • Confidence and “floor presence” • Event prep, choreography & mindset Opportunities range from budget-friendly local events to high-profile showcases where ProAm dancers are the main attraction. You can even compete at world-famous venues including: • Blackpool Tower • The Winter Gardens, Blackpool • The Royal Albert Hall For those who want a real adventure, international ProAm events are also an option!
Open Couples Competitions
From first-timers to elite athletes, private lessons are essential for dancers competing with a partner. We coach all levels with clarity, experience and zero ego. Whether you’re brand-new or chasing major finals, we help couples build the technique, discipline and partnership needed for open competition. We support: • New couples stepping onto the floor for the first time • Amateur partnerships developing their style • Senior competitors wanting confidence and consistency • High-level athletes preparing for national or international events With decades at the very top of the competitive world, we offer no-nonsense, practical guidance based on real experience — not theory.

Your Three-Lesson Plan
A clear, reassuring pathway — couples love this part
Lesson One — Learn Your Routine
We start by teaching you a simple, effective routine that fits your chosen track. By the end of the first hour you’ll know most (if not all) of the choreography. We can film the steps for you or write them down to help with practising at home.
Lesson Two — Refine & Connect It
We recap the routine, add any final pieces, and start getting everything moving smoothly with the music.
This is where confidence starts to grow — steps become natural, transitions feel easier, and you begin to dance rather than “remember”.
Lesson Three — Perform & Polish
With the routine ready, we focus on style, confidence and presence.
Small tweaks here make a huge difference on the day: timing, presentation, how to hold yourselves, where to look, how to start and finish cleanly.
After this you'll feel ready for the big moment - relaxed, confident and excited!

A Small Note About the Package…
For the vast majority of couples, three hours is all you need for a clean, confident first dance.
But if you’re aiming for something more:
-
Highly personalised
-
More technical
-
More dramatic
-
More complex or theatrical
-
Or if you're both nervous learners
…then additional private lessons will serve you far better than repeating the package.
They’re also better value, and give us the time needed to polish a more detailed routine properly.
Friendly, fair and straightforward — exactly how this should be.
