Dance Classes in Bath
Twenty Ways to Start Dancing in Bath
Every Level, Genuinely
In most rooms the beginners outnumber everyone else, and each style keeps a starter level where the teacher takes nothing for granted. Experienced dancers step up to improver sessions with working professional choreographers. Sorting a hen do? Same choreographers, one enquiry.
Built Around Bath Life
Classes sit in the evenings and at weekends at central studios a few minutes' stroll from Bath Spa station, with park-and-ride taking the strain out of the run in from Batheaston or Combe Down. Come along when it suits, or block-book and save. Wedding on the way? Our wedding dance lessons share those studios.
Just £8 a Class
Every session is £8, whether you drop in once or book a four-week block — and there are no joining fees, no contracts and none of the gym-style tie-ins. Sample one style now and another the week after. Keen to begin? Get in touch.
Pick Your Style
Twenty styles taught right across Bath, each welcoming to newcomers and each led by someone who dances for a living.
Bachata
A Dominican partner dance of three steps, a tap and expressive hips — warming up the Latin socials off Kingsmead Square.
Bachata Classes
Ballet
Barre, centre and five centuries of tradition — and honestly the grown-up beginner is who we most love teaching in Bath.
Ballet Classes
Ballroom
Framed waltz, foxtrot and quickstep with a nod to the old Assembly Rooms — the one skill that keeps paying off at weddings.
Ballroom Classes
Belly Dance
Real raqs sharqi built from clean isolations and rolling shimmies — open to every age and body, with sneaky-hard core work throughout.
Belly Dance Classes
Bollywood
Bhangra shoulders, filmi hooks and hands that tell a story — comfortably the most joyful cardio on the Bath timetable.
Bollywood Classes
Burlesque
Showgirl posture, a slow tease and plenty of swagger — nothing comes off but the nerves, and the confidence heads home down Milsom Street.
Burlesque Classes
Commercial
Polished, camera-ready routines lifted straight from the music videos — led by dancers who do this for a living.
Commercial Classes
Contemporary
Open improvisation, grounded floor work and release technique — movement for the things words can't quite reach.
Contemporary Classes
Flamenco
Andalusian fire in every driving stamp and cracking palma — exact, forceful and impossible to fake.
Flamenco Classes
Heels
Attitude, posture and real power in (optional) heels — the boldest cousin of commercial choreography.
Heels Classes
Hip-Hop
Party grooves, bounce and rock pulled from five decades of the culture — the rhythm gets trained here, so don't fret if you arrive without it.
Hip-Hop Classes
Irish Dancing
Blistering footwork held over stone-still arms in reels and jigs — tougher, and a good deal funnier, than it ever looks.
Irish Dancing Classes
Jazz
Clean lines, sharp kicks and Broadway turns — the working dancer's grounding, a short walk from SouthGate.
Jazz Classes
K-Pop
Tight formations and point choreography copied straight off the videos — drilled properly, then filmed with pride.
K-Pop Classes
Line Dancing
No partner, no problem — grapevines and heel-digs on country roots, set to a thoroughly modern playlist.
Line Dancing Classes
Pole Dance
Climbs, spins and strength that quietly builds as you go — athletic, body-positive and genuinely addictive.
Pole Dance Classes
Salsa
Rolling Cuban rhythm and partners on rotation — your way onto the friendliest social floor in Bath.
Salsa Classes
Street Dance
House, breaking, locking and popping under one roof — the umbrella class, led by Bath's own working street dancers.
Street Dance Classes
Tango
A meaningful walk, dramatic pauses and a close embrace — the feel of Buenos Aires, found over in Widcombe.
Tango Classes
Tap
Time steps, shuffles and rhythm you can actually hear — before long your feet are the whole band.

Dance Classes in Bath FAQ
The things people ask us before a first class in Bath.
What does a dance class in Bath actually cost?
Every class is £8 whichever way you come — a single drop-in and a four-week block cost the same. There are no joining fees and no contracts, so try a style and see how it suits you.
Which parts of Bath do the classes run in?
Adult sessions sit at central studios near SouthGate and the Abbey, while children's classes run out across the surrounding neighbourhoods — each venue a short, mostly level walk from Bath Spa station. Your chosen style's page carries the local detail.
I've never danced before {EM} where should I begin?
Start with the music that already moves you — that pull outlasts any bit of technique. Salsa, street dance and ballet pull the largest beginner intakes across Bath, though all twenty styles keep a proper starter level.
Do you run classes for kids?
Absolutely — age-grouped children's classes run in most styles, every one taught by DBS-checked professionals. Street dance and ballet get asked for the most; check your nearest venue on the enquiry form.
Do the partner styles need me to bring someone?
Not at all — salsa, bachata, ballroom and tango rotate partners as standard, so arriving on your own is completely normal. Bring someone and stick with them if you'd rather, or rotate and dance with the whole room.
