The Practical Stuff
❔ How many lessons will I need?
That really depends on you!
In 3 lessons you’ll get to look more comfortable on the dance floor plus you will have learnt a skill for life.
In 10 or more lessons you can learn a polished choreography.
🕺 What style of dance do we learn?
You can choose from 20s Charleston, 40s Lindy Hop or 50s RnR. If you would like to learn a routine to a specific song, send Simon a clip of the music and let him help you decide on a suitable style!
🥂 Is a private lesson good for our Wedding First Dance?
Yes!! This will absolutely help you WOW the crowd with your first dance so you don't end up swaying back & forth on the dance floor for 3 minutes!
👞 What if I/We have two left feet?
It doesn't matter, we can help!
👕 What to wear?
Wear something comfy you can move in but most importantly choose a smoother soled shoe where possible, that will let you spin easily i.e. no flip flops, sticky soled trainers or high heels!

What people say...
📣 "Simon was an absolute dream to work with! My husband and I reached out to Simon to help prepare a surprise dance for us for our Old Hollywood themed wedding and we couldn't have been happier with the process and result! Simon is professional, attentive, and always brings positive energy. Neither of us had any experience with couples dancing or swing, but Simon’s patience and skills guided us perfectly in the right direction. We couldn’t have been happier with both the process and the result!" Michaela & Lorenzo
📣 "Simon is an exceptionally versatile and highly experienced teacher who brings out the best in every student. From leading engaging musicality lessons across all levels and styles—which made a huge difference to my dance floor confidence—to delivering focused one-to-one technical lessons, he adapts effortlessly to any situation and to each individual student. I will always value our fun private Balboa and Lindy Hop lesson, which was both uplifting and truly transformative for my technical growth. I cannot recommend him highly enough.” Mirjam Brusius
📣 "I chose to treat myself to some 1 to 1 dance tuition with Simon. I knew I wanted to improve my dance techniques, but wasn't sure what I needed to focus on. Simon intuitively understood where my weaknesses were, he took me through some basic principles both in how I needed to move in response to a lead, the different points of contact hands and arms. Rhythm and syncopated beats, these are subtle things but really important for improving my experience in dance." Sophie Taylor
📣 "Thanks Simon. Will definitely be seeing you again. As we drove away Jenny exclaimed "such fun!"...." Dominic Fox
📣 “Thank you so much for SUCH a useful lesson with so much good input, we are both really so impressed at how quickly you put your finger on things...., we would never improve without private lessons....” Richard Herman
📣 "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." J Kilmore
