You've cultivated an amazing community, and accumulated fabulous teachers, and you're all mad-talented. Probably the best community I've ever been a part of, and I still feel like I'm underselling them experience

Always great fun. Good lessons, good teachers, all round awesome people. Would highly recommend - even if you think you've got two left feet (like I did when I started) it's a wonderful experience which is worth giving a go.

The best place to learn to dance in Southampton, whether is Latin or Ballroom they have all the styles! What makes TLC special is the people that run the club, they make you feel welcome from the moment you're in, they're really friendly, patient and dedicated. I've been attending for over 3 years and they have become my second family. Dancing at TLC is great fun, you're in a safe environment and the excercise is wonderful for body and soul. I can't recommend them enough!

I started at TLC last year in May and its been a fantastic year, everyone is so friendly and I have met a whole new family! I flew through my 6 week course, salsa lessons were on a weds and Thurs and bachata every other Thursday. Marcus who teaches level 4 on1 and on2 on a thursday, is very thorough and precise, he explains moves very well and i enjoy his lessons. They have something on every night basically. They are constantly holding events and monthly caliente's. I'm so happy I decided to start salsa, it's become a great hobby of mine and I've even introduced my partner to it and he's currently

I have been going to Tracie's Latin Club (salsa lessons)for about a year and a half now and I love it! Made some great friends, the teachers are very friendly and helpful and it's generally a great atmosphere. Having been a complete non-dancer when I started, I have learned so much (and salsa music is the best)

I've attended Tracie's salsa and argentine tango classes and cannot recommend these lessons enough. Teaching is clear, with individual and group feedback, and the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. Go along, you won't regret it!
