Improver’s/Advanced Classes
If you already have some Ballroom and/or Latin American (or related) dance experience, we have several Improvers and Advanced classes that you would be more than welcome to join.
Get in touch and let us know a little bit about your dancing experience and we’ll be happy to recommend a suitable class.
Private Lessons
For those who may wish to learn in a one-on-one environment rather than a group class, private lessons are also available upon request.
Private lessons are generally available Monday to Saturday and we’ll be as flexible as possible to find a day and time to suit you.
Practise Evening
We hold a Practise Evening every Friday from 8.15-10pm, providing a perfect opportunity to hone your dance skills! You’ll be able to practise the moves learnt in class in a relaxed and social setting and our teachers will be on hand to help where needed.
Our Practise sessions are open to all and are a great way to get used to dancing in a social setting.
Adult Ballroom & Latin American Lessons
Classique School of Dance offers Ballroom and Latin American classes for all levels from our fully equipped Portsmouth studio. Whether you are a seasoned dancer or have never stepped foot on a dance floor before, we have a class for you!
Medal Examinations
For those of you who may be looking for a more formal structure to your Ballroom & Latin American tuition, we hold annual Medal Examinations with the United Kingdom Alliance (UKA). This is a great way to track your improvement, with a specific focus on technique. Medal Tests are worked towards in private lessons, get in touch to find out more.
Wedding Dances
We understand that your first dance together is an important part of your wedding day. Whether you are looking to amaze your guests with a uniquely choreographed routine or just want to feel a little more comfortable on the dance floor, our experienced and qualified teachers are on hand to help!
Our friendly and professional team are experts in working with couples of all ages and abilities (absolutely no previous dance experience required!) and whether your wedding date is six months or two weeks away, we pride ourselves on being able to provide you with the skills you need to successfully navigate your first dance.
Wedding lessons take place in our fully equipped Portsmouth studio. You’ll receive one-on-one tuition to create your perfect wedding dance experience, with full choreography, where required, to the music of your choice. Your lessons can also be filmed (only ever at your request) so that you can continue practising your moves at home.
