If you want to learn to dance get in touch with Simon

If you want to learn to dance get in touch with Simon He combines a clear passion for dance with a relaxed teaching style Starting with some simple steps you quickly get confident and progress to linking them together In an hour you have something to practice and build on Simon is encouraging and supportive and spends time with individuals to help them get the best out of their dance aspirations Providing links and access to events across London and the South East Simon gives a great introduction not only to dancing personally but the opportunity to practice in a friendly and supportive social scene Highly recommended

Excellent Swingdance teacher for all abilities

Simon is an excellent teacher Very personable patient and believes in everyone s potential no matter their start point He is very skilled at developing the experienced dancers AND the novices with great care and patience and you never finish a class without a renewed sense of accomplishment It s so helpful that he offers tuition in such a variety of ways it makes learning very accessible for all Simon is guru at all things Swing and is most generous with his knowledge and information on the many events that this scene offers His aim genuinely is to ignite the passion and get everyone out dancing He believes that everyone can do swing dance and I believe that everyone should Once you have a few basic steps and some music you can t not enjoy yourself

Musicality Workshop

I recently participated in this w s which I found both useful and enjoyable - it is equally so for leaders and followers The w s is offered periodically and I recommend it to anyone wishing to increase their enjoyment of swing dancing

A great dance class

Simon s a great teacher After just one class I began to understand the mechanics of the dance - not just what to do but why I was doing it It obviously takes time to make a dance your own but this is a great start Simon is very patient and has a keen eye for what needs to be tweaked as you go along I m attending his group classes now as well as having private lessons and would highly recommend both

Amazing ice breaker for 18th birthday black tie

I cannot tell you how wonderful it having a dance class incorporated into my daughter s 18th birthday party Honestly Niall was brilliant And his assistant Amelia was lovely and fabulous too Niall and Simon who did the booking was a consummate professional from start to finish from speaking with me on the phone to plan the timeline to working with the playlist to working with the types of moves the birthday girl wanted to showing up in great time to set up The dance class itself was such fun - all the kids were in black tie but it was a great way to get the kids from different worlds to mix At first there were some kids who seemed a little reluctant and too cool for school But very soon they saw how fun it was and joined in They didn t end up really doing the moves much after the class when they were dancing but it got them on the dance floor in the first place and it was ok as it was such a perfect ice breaker early on in the party My daughter had specially set up pairings so people who didn t know each other could meet and that was how the bulk of the lesson went but then Niall suggested they changed partners and some did but the pairings who were happy together stuck together which was the plan so it all worked out brilliantly Thank you again for being so fantastic to work with - so very grateful I found you All the best xxx
