CLASSES & TEACHERS
CLASSES AND TEACHERS (in alphabetical order)
There are many wonderful dance teachers in our network, which can make it difficult to choose. However, our aim is always to consider the holistic talents of our line-up, encompassing inclusivity, approachability and team-work.
Their dance and teaching expertise in developing students successfully is critical and being sociable with a keen sense of fun
is also high up on our list of requirements.
Our ‘A’ List Teacher Line-Up is shown below and the schedule of classes will be updated in due course, but in the meantime, you can view an example of what the timings and content will look like HERE

Once here he not only developed the Ceroc teaching syllabus but also led the expansion of Ceroc through main London venues like Pimlico and National weekenders.
