No previous dance experience is required for the class, and we promise you will have a laugh, loose a few inches, and learn a few WICKED moves…

€6 per class. Drop in and give it a try

Here are a some reviews from participants of previous classes “Helen's dance class is so much fun!! Just a lovely bunch of ladies of all shapes and sizes enjoying themselves and learning some wicked dance moves!! I love it” and “Helen is such a patient instructor and we all feel like pros by the end of the class!” and “I thoroughly enjoy this dance class. Learning the dance moves and thinking you'll never get it - and then putting it all together into a routine is brilliant fun.”
