About Our Classes

Our classes are all about having fun, being creative, and enjoying moving to great music.

They’re workshop-style experiences, where you can get involved in being creative as much or as little as you like. If you simply want to learn some moves, then that’s fine with us; if you want to contribute ideas, that’s great too!

Most of our classes are about modern, creative dance. We use a range of music from the latest chart sounds to well-known, much-loved songs. You’ll hear anything from Dizzy Rascal to Lady Gaga to The Jam to Tribe Called Quest at our classes and performances!

You’ll make new friends, improve your fitness, learn creative and life skills, improve your confidence, and be part of a fun, caring, family of people who love dancing. You can find out more about the benefits of our classes on our Why Dance Blast? page. Don’t worry if it’s half way through the term – we welcome new participants at any time.

You’ll also get a chance to perform – if you want to – at our summer showcase in July at the Borough Theatre Abergavenny – but this isn’t compulsory! It’s an exciting night, where all our groups come together to show what they’ve learned to family and friends, and it’s always a big hit: you’ll go away buzzing with excitement!

Below is a flavour of the classes that we offer on a weekly basis around Monmouthshire – but see our ‘Around Monmouthshire‘ or ‘The Dance Centre, Abergavenny‘ for listings, times and prices.
