We believe that learning to dance isn’t just about learning the steps, it’s about having fun and laughter along the way.
Many people think about trying a dance class for some time before they actually take the plunge. We know and appreciate that it can seem quite intimidating to attend a class for that first time, not knowing what to expect. But at Nick’s Dance School once you take that first step, we know you’ll grow in confidence, meet new people and really have fun dancing in no time.
Nick’s Dance School offers simple and easy lessons designed for all abilities. Whether you’re an absolute beginner or competent dancer our weekly Ballroom and Latin couples classes in Potters Bar can help you to develop your dance skills.

We offer structured classes that teach you one dance for a few weeks before moving onto a new dance. We then re-visit these dances at a later stage adding more steps to increase your knowledge and improve your dancing skills. That way you can really master the basics of each dance before adding extra steps.
You’ll be learning along with other like-minded people who are at the same level as you, who want to learn to dance and have a fun time doing it.
Plus, there’s the social aspect – our students love the variety and meeting fellow “Strictly” fun dancing students and enjoying a cup of tea & biscuits at the end of class.
In addition to our group classes, on Friday evenings, we hold a Social Practice Night for you to be able to come along and dance. And, if you get stuck, we are more than happy to help out – just ask!
Class Time: 6.45 – 7.45pm
Beginners – Working On the Basics
The Beginners class is perfect for those with little or no ballroom dance experience. We welcome people who have never set foot on a dance floor as well as those who may have danced before, but are a bit rusty on the basics.
The great thing about our Beginners classes is that you’ll learn one dance at a time. We cover the basic introductory level steps in each dance so you’ll know your spin turns from your spot turns before moving onto another dance style.
The classes are great fun and taught in a friendly and supportive atmosphere. By the end of your Beginner’s Programme, you will be able to dance around the dance floor with confidence and ease. No more two left feet!
There are no set times to move up from one class to the next, as everyone learns at different speeds. When you feel ready, you’re welcome to try the Beyond the Basics class. If you’re not sure, just ask us for guidance.
