Looking for somewhere
to learn to dance
and keep fit?
Classes to suit everyone
As you would expect of a school of this calibre, there are classes to suit everyone from beginners to advanced medalist and competitors in Ballroom, Latin American, Classical Old Time and Modern Sequence with roughly equal mix of men and women. Partners can always be found for those who come alone. All are welcome from the very first lesson.
You may want to join the school for a specific reason. Perhaps you are getting married, want to brush up on long held dancing techniques or you may simply just want to learn and just need to pluck up the courage to do so. You can achieve all of these aims at the Phoenix Dance School; even those who complain of lack of coordination and 2 left feet, have been pleasantly surprised to find their feet can indeed move with a sense of purpose after just a few lessons!
Dancing for fun and fitness
You could be forgiven for believing that with a string of dance qualifications, Liz would wish to push all her pupils towards dance assessments, but nothing could be further from the truth. Of course you will receive every encouragement and tuition second to none if that is the path you choose, but Liz believes and actively advocates, that dancing is principally for fun, relaxation and pleasure. Those with an eye to fitness will know that dancing is a superb form of exercise.
The very fine qualifications which Liz and her team have achieved didn’t just happen by chance. Winning through required total dedication, total commitment, great ability and staying power – and having got there none of the tutors rest on their laurels. Attendance at dance teacher conferences, to learn up-to-date methods and techniques is still the order of the day so benefits can be passed on to pupils; in fact, a continual pursuit of excellence. It is only fitting then that the Phoenix Dance School enjoys a very high success rate among medalists – teachers and pupils alike are very proud of that record. Again however, Liz stresses that the school isn’t only about gaining medals, it’s about the belief that dancing is for pleasure.
Fun friendly atmosphere
Talking with pupils at the school, one is immediately impressed with the very friendly atmosphere. This is because all the teachers at the school go out of their way to promote friendliness and a caring attitude and it shows in the fond way the pupils talk about family news which they choose to share with the teaching team – it’s no wonder then that pupils stay with the school year after year and that they choose to get together outside of the school environment for other social events.
“Dance lessons at Phoenix Dance School have brightened up my retirement”
“At least I don’t plod around the dance floor anymore”
“I’ve never achieved anything much before, that’s why I’m proud I put effort into winning medals, but I couldn’t have done it without Liz and the other teachers”
