Adults join our classes for lots of reasons:
To fulfil a lifelong dream
To find something just for themselves
To build fitness, strength, coordination and confidence
To switch off from busy work and family life
To be part of a supportive, welcoming community
And they stay because our dance classes become part of their routine – something they genuinely look forward to each week.
Maxine’s Story: Starting Tap at 50
Maxine joined our Beaconsfield Adult Tap class last January as part of a New Year’s resolution for her 50th year. Tap was something she had always dreamed of trying, inspired by films and stage shows.
She arrived a little nervous but very excited. What helped?
Clear, friendly communication before her first class
Knowing she was booking just a two week trial initially - if she didn’t enjoy it, she hadn’t lost out.
A warm and friendly welcome at her first class.
Within her first two weeks, she knew she wanted to continue. In fact, she’d already purchased her first pair of tap shoes by her second trial! A year on, tap is now part of her weekly routine. Her confidence has grown, her ability has improved and she’s part of a class that supports and encourages one another – with plenty of laughter along the way!
Her advice to anyone unsure?
“Give it a go – what have you got to lose?”

Thinking About Trying a Class?
If you’ve been sitting on the idea for a while, this is your sign.
You don’t need to be confident. You don’t need to be fit. You don’t need to be ‘good’.
You just need to start. And we’ll help with the rest!
We’d love to welcome you into the studio.
