Excellent all round. Very friendly accommodating instructors. They are all so patient friendly and approachable and make you feel at ease. Prices are reasonable too. Would highly recommend to anyone. Only negative is parking spaces are limited, but enjoyment of classes makes up for that

AURA dance studios is a full-time dance venue. At almost any time of day or day of the week you can dance or exercise in any of the 3 dance studios.
Classes are offered most evenings from beginners to advanced dancers. Classes for children or adult, for social dancers or for competitors. Professional qualification can be prepared under the guidance of the very highly qualified and experienced staff. This is a family business where nothing is too much trouble and all dancers are welcome. Run by champions, producing champions and 1000s of Happy social dancers.

My partner and I have taken part in the beginners dance classes, and can honestly say it has been a fantastic experience. I have to no prior dancing experience, but the staff are brilliant in helping people of all abilities to learn to dance, and the best part about it is how fun they make it along the way! I can't recommend this place highly enough
