The Routine

About Heels Classes in Canterbury
Heels is powerful, expressive dance performed in stilettos or platforms, blending commercial choreography, contemporary softness and fierce floor work into routines built to project confidence. Our Canterbury classes teach you to command the space, control your body while elevated and hit sharp choreography on the ball of the foot — walks, body rolls, knee work, drops and floor transitions, all learned safely.
Heels has boomed online, and Canterbury's young, going-out crowd has caught the bug — but structured weekly classes in the city have lagged behind the hype. We run ours close to the centre, an easy walk from the shops of the King's Mile and the High Street, drawing a proper mix of students from the University of Kent and Christ Church alongside locals who just want a fierce hour after work. Your instructor performs in heels and understands the specific technique, conditioning and safety that dancing elevated demands.
You do not need to own heels to begin — take your first few weeks in trainers or socks and learn the moves before you add the shoes. When you are ready, a sturdy block heel or platform is the safest starting point. No dance experience is needed to walk in the door.

Finding Your Feet
Getting Steady

Heels in Canterbury FAQ
Everything you need to know before your first class.
Do I have to wear heels from my very first class? +
No. Beginners are welcome to start in trainers or socks and learn the technique first — most people do exactly that for a few weeks. You add a sturdy block heel or platform only once you feel steady and ready.
Is heels safe for my ankles? +
It is when taught properly, which is why every class opens with balance and walking drills and why floor descents are broken down carefully. Your instructor dances in heels professionally and puts conditioning and safe technique ahead of everything else.
Do I need dance experience? +
Not at all. The class is built for beginners upward, and each routine is taught in small eight-counts at a manageable pace. Plenty of our regulars had never danced before their first Canterbury session.
How much does a class cost? +
A single drop-in is £8, paid on the day — no membership, no term commitment and no joining fee. Come for the weeks that suit you and skip the ones that do not.
Where are classes held and how do I get there? +
We run near the city centre, an easy walk from the King's Mile and from Canterbury West with its high-speed service to London St Pancras. Driving in, the Whitefriars multi-storey is the closest car park — check its closing time before an evening class.
What kind of heels should I buy? +
When you are ready to add shoes, start with a sturdy block heel or a dance platform rather than a thin stiletto — they give far more stability while you build ankle strength. Your instructor can point you toward sensible options.
What ages come along? +
Adults from roughly 17 to 75. Heels leans young thanks to social media, but the Canterbury room genuinely spans the ages and everyone learns the same routine together.
Can you run a heels class for a hen party or group? +
Yes — a one-off heels session is a favourite for hen dos and birthdays, taught at the same flat rate. Send your numbers and a date and we will get it booked.
