Adult classes – other levels

Have you danced before?

Would you prefer to join a class without having to go back to the beginning?

We run a range of different levels for adults throughout the week.

Get in touch for us to recommend the best class for you.

These are the different levels of dance class available:

Beginners classes

Complete Beginners classes are suitable for those with no previous dance experience. See our Beginners Class page for more details.

If you have some previous dance experience in latin & ballroom, or have danced to a high level in another style of dance, choose a Beginners 2 class.

Novice/Improvers classes

Novice classes are for those with around 1 year’s experience in a ballroom and latin dance class. If you have more than 1 year’s experience, choose an Improvers class.

Intermediate/Advanced classes

Our intermediate and advanced classes have been running for several years, and are tricky for newcomers to join unless you have several years’ experience in latin and ballroom dance, and can pick up new routines quickly and easily.

Children’s classes

We teach classes for a range of ages, from age 3 to age 18. These are suitable for children of all ages, and no previous experience is necessary. Please see our children’s class page for further information.

Timetable

Below are the classes that are currently available to book online. If you have previous dance experience, please contact us to discuss the best class to join.

You can filter classes by age, location or day.

Excellent beginner dance lessons!

Excellent beginner dance lessons! Fun, easy way to learn how to dance. We are/were completely new to dancing and were nervous to start. So glad we did!

Megan Belanger

Totally recommend

It is really lovely to join a class where you you can enjoy the dancing without any pressure. Would totally recommend Saturn Dance classes.

Jenny

No pressure

Started as a beginner about 5 years ago. I was nervous that I wouldn’t be able to do it, or the teachers might get grumpy and impatient if I held the class back. I needn’t have worried. Darren and Lucilla explain the steps in a way that is very easy to follow and their classes are pure fun.

Tony Dicken

You have to go to Saturn Dance

No matter what you think about “two left feet” or whatever else you will be able to dance. One of the most enjoyable hobbies I’ve ever had and it could be yours too!

Tom Beer

Fun

We have been having lessons with Saturn Dance for several years and thoroughly enjoy them. We started as complete novices and have made a lot of progress. The teachers make the learning process fun, as a result we enjoy our dancing and have become much more confident at it.

Alan

You’ll love it

We are now absolutely hooked and really look forward to our weekly class. I would recommend it to anyone who is tempted to give ballroom dancing a try – you’ll love it!

Sarah Scullion

The classes are always fun

Darren and Lucilla are always cheerful, positive and welcoming. They create a relaxed atmosphere and make you feel encouraged and not intimidated.

Alan Mason

One of the most enjoyable hobbies I’ve ever had

If you have ever even had the remotest inkling or tug of desire that you would like to try dance lessons then you have to go to Saturn Dance. The classes are warm, friendly, funny and welcoming whether you’re going alone (as I did) or as a couple.

Tom Beer

Friendly and supportive

There is no pressure and no judgement if you are struggling to nail any particular step, just friendly support. If you are tempted to try dance lessons, you should definitely give Saturn Dance a go.

Tony

Welcoming

I felt welcomed from the moment I walked into the class (if deeply uncomfortable due to it being completely out of my comfort zone!)

Tam Ashworth

Very enjoyable

From the very first class we attended, we have received a very warm welcome. The teaching is excellent, and there is a strong emphasis on the pleasure and enjoyment of dance.

Anne & Howard

Absolutely hooked

I’m really glad that we found Saturn Dance; after only 4 months we now know steps of 10 dances. Our range of steps and technique may not be at Strictly level but we can get up and dance to so many different rhythms. The classes are so informal and fun and everyone seems to make surprising progress.

Sarah Scullion

Very much enjoying our lessons

Not going to lie, I was a little nervous when we first started, but the lessons are nice and informal and Darren is incredibly kind & patient.

Gwynfor

We’ve made a lot of progress in 5+ dances and we look forward to it every week…and we’re gutted if we go on holiday and miss a session!

David Williams

Absolutely love it!

We have met some lovely people in the classes and the Socials every 4- 6 weeks are a great way to practice the steps and get some extra tuition . If you have always wanted to try ballroom dancing but have felt unsure or shy, I promise you will quickly gain the confidence to dance across the floor and also you will have a lot of fun along the way!

Moira Herdman

So much to offer

There are extra practice sessions once a month, which is ideal for those of us whose kitchens are too small to practice at home. There are monthly social dances: great fun with loads of support from fellow dancers and teachers. There is even a glitter ball!

Sarah Scullion

Exceptional

Both Darren and Lucilla are exceptional dancers and exceptional teachers who are able to explain the WHY as well as the HOW of footwork, arm placement, positioning etc.

Tam Ashworth

Very much enjoying the lessons

They teach the lessons so you can just enjoy dancing and ensure you can make it around the floor. Very glad we chose to start going and will continue to do so for as long as we can.

Gwynfor

Always a laugh

Always a laugh, great for beginners – watch you don’t step on your partners toes!

Amelia Lewis

100% recommend

If you’ve ever thought about giving dancing a go – look no further than Saturn Dance. Great expertise in a relaxed atmosphere learning alongside dancers of your level (we started from scratch with a brand new group). Monthly socials and extra practice sessions too. 100% recommend.

Andrew Glanfield

Great instructors

Great instructors who are extremely patient and bring a lot of fun to learning.

Jenny

Saturn Dance is simply fabulous.

Friendly, expert and informal tuition, done with lots of laughs and so good that they are (somehow) capable of teaching even me. Their commitment to their students and to dance is also quite astonishing.

Tony

Great fun

There is an excellent balance of conversation, learning, teaching and humour in the classes, with none of the teachers taking themselves too seriously. Great fun, good exercise and excellent value for the amount of sheer enjoyment! xxx

Tam Ashworth

Thank you

Thank you for running your classes, they are absolutely great and I felt so welcome so soon after starting. You have an amazing team and a fab group of learners

Great dance school for Latin & Ballroom

The teaching is high quality, yet friendly and relaxed, with teachers eager to help and demonstrating a genuine love of dance and a keenness to share it with others.

Fantastic beginners classes and teachers. Everyone is super friendly, their website makes it easy to find information and their communication/customer service is wonderful.

David Williams

Absolutely love it!

We’ve been dancing with Saturn Dance for 6 years now and absolutely love it! We started off as very nervous beginners but thanks to Darren and Lucilla’s brilliant teaching we now have the confidence to do so many dances( Foxtrot, Samba, Cha Cha, Waltz etc)

Moira Herdman

We had private dance lessons with Darren for our first dance at our wedding. The lessons were really fun and everyone was really impressed with our routine. Highly recommend.
