Experience Dance and Fitness Classes - for Adult Beginners

Fed up with the Gym? Wanting to try something different?

Whether you want to get fit, dance or exercise for fun this is the Club for you. It's not easy if you are on your own or feel unsure about your abilities. Our classes are aimed at Adult Beginners. The general age range is between 23 and 60, with quite a few either side, so age is not a factor!

At Experience Dance and Fitness we are here to help you to take that first step. All our instructors have a very positive and friendly attitude. Our dance and fitness classes are intended to be for enjoyment first and foremost. It is not our intention to train you to become a professional ballet dancer or athlete. We are here to inspire you and to create an atmosphere that will give you confidence and make you want to dance for the rest of your life.

We hold classes in Biddenham, Bedford, Buckingham, Kislingbury, Towcester & Northampton. We also offer private lessons in ballroom and latin dance, and also wedding dances, usually at Blisworth Village Hall or Gayton Village Hall.

Our dance classes have become so popular we are not currently offering any fitness classes, though this may change in the future. Tell us what you want and we will do our best to provide it.

Dance and Fitness Class Styles

All our Dance Classes will teach you correct technique, so that should you decide to take up the activity full-time, you will have a solid foundation on which to build. If you go to a Jazz, Tango or Salsa Club or even a Ball or Tea Dance, you will be able to apply what you have learnt and move around the dance floor with style. Whether you are learning ballet, ballroom, latin american, salsa, jazz, tap, modern or contemporary dance, you will develop skills and a fitness level that will make you feel a million dollars.

Ballroom and Latin Dance Classes

We specialise in teaching beginners, but we do assume they still want to learn to dance with style and decorum, even if their main purpose is to get round the dance floor without stopping! We have two levels of Beginners - Beginners and Improvers, and a more advanced Intermediate class. In practice, our regulars, who may be beyond improver level still like to be reminded of correct technique and attended the improvers classes, as truly mastering figures takes much more time than most of us can manage in a week.

You have the opportunity for you to gain Medals in Ballroom and Latin Dancing. This is a great way to recognise your own achievements and to give added purpose to your dance lessons.

Ballroom and Latin dance classes are held in Biddenham (Bedford), Buckingham, Kislingbury, Towcester & Northampton. Individual private lessons are available on Saturday afternoons & Sunday mornings and during the daytime during the week. Other early evenings may occasionaly be available for private work.

Theatre Style Dance Classes & Latin Style Dance Classes

In Northampton we offer a range of theatre style classes in Ballet, Tap Dancing, Solo Salsa, Latin Dance Workout and , Freestyle Dance.

Ballet is a fantastic style of dance as it improves your posture, builds up muscle and gives you control over your body, strengthening it and making it more flexible. It is therefore suitable for all ages, and is the perfect starting point for any budding dancer, whatever your age, or suitable simply for fitness. These classes are held at Bedford and Northampton.

Freestyle Dance has its roots in disco, but uses moves and actions from ballet and contemporary dance, street dance and hip hop. It is a true amalgamation of all these dances. This will be held at Northampton and may later also be taught at either Brackley or Buckingham.

We are about to introduce a new class called Quicksteps to Fitness in Northampton, which uses figures from ballroom, latin and freestyle to create an entertaining dance that will keep you dancing. This has proved very popular at Towcester. One chap found himself doing his routine to American Patrol whilst out walking the dog!

Latin Dance Workout and Solo Salsa classes are held in Towcester, Buckingham,& Northampton. These dance classes are great for general fitness, especially for flexibility of the waist line, at the same time giving you a good cardiovascular workout. We are now starting a day time class at the Wellbeing Fitness Studios in Towcester on a Monday morning.

The Solo Salsa also incorporates sections of other latin dances but the main focus is Salsa, using both popular latin dance tunes and pure salsa music.

Tap Dancing is hugely popular with our adult beginners, and we have two classes, one for those will no experience at all, and another for those who know basic moves.

You will not be disappointed whichever class you choose, as we just like to dance and share our love of dancing with you.
