Sound familiar?

This class was built for you if:

  • You've never danced. Not once. Not even at weddings.
  • You'd be coming on your own.
  • You're worried everyone else will already know the steps.
  • You want something fun in your week that isn't the pub.

Tick even one? You're in the right place.

Your first class, minute by minute

Twenty minutes of footwork.Then the partnerwork starts.Five minutes later, you're dancing and laughing.

Why Sabroso

We take the dancing seriously. Not ourselves.

01

Everyone starts from scratch.

This is a beginners class, not a mixed room. Nobody is watching you. They're all learning the same step you are.

02

You learn it by dancing it.

We break each move down to its simplest piece, drill it until your feet do it without thinking, then build it back up. You spend the class dancing, not listening.

03

Feedback aimed at you.

Small groups and personal tips in every class. The pointer that fixes your timing, not a correction shouted at the room.

From one of our events

Who's teaching you

Two teachers. One job: get you dancing.

Leandro Russo

I'll guide you from your very first step and make sure you leave your first class already dancing. Nobody feels daft in my room.

Marie-Claire Mathias

I'll help you find your ease on the dance floor, one step at a time. Confidence is built, and we build it together.

The music is like switching on the sunshine.

It can be daunting as a beginner dancer to ask people for a dance. Everyone is super friendly. If you want to improve your skills and have fun and feel included, this is the place for you.

Sabroso has become so much more than just a dance school for me. What I didn't expect was the amazing community. Every class leaves me smiling.

Quick answers

Things people ask before their first class

I've genuinely never danced. Is this really for me?

Yes. This class is only for people starting from zero. You'll be guided step by step, next to people on their first day too.

Will I be the only one who doesn't know what they're doing?

No. Everyone starts from scratch, and we teach complete beginners all the time. You'll be surprised how fast you settle in.

Do I need a partner?

No. We rotate partners so you dance with the whole room. Come solo, with a partner, or bring friends.

Can we come as a group?

Yes, please do. Friends, partners, housemates, work mates, birthdays. Book a spot each and come together.

What do I wear?

Something comfy you can move in. Any shoes are fine. Bring a bottle of water.

What does it cost?

Your first class is free. If you love it, we'll show you the beginner course options after class, no pressure on the day.

Your first class is free

Come see for yourself.

Book the free taster, turn up in something comfy, and we'll take it from there. If it's not for you, you've lost nothing.

No experience or partner needed.
