Carole Hellewell Ballroom & Latin Dance

Carole is a fantastic dance instructor! My wife and I attend her regular Monday night dance class in addition to occasional private lessons. She has a wealth of knowledge, and her teaching manner is unfailingly friendly, patient and easy to understand. She is just as good with absolute beginners as she is with those who are more advanced, and for someone with Carole's experience and teaching ability, these classes are excellent value for money.

The hall at All Saints school is big, which for Ballroom especially, is brilliant and the other couples are all so friendly and welcoming.

We have been dancing with Carole for seven years. My husband was reluctant at first but Carole has been patient and understanding from the outset. We love her and her teaching style she is so enthusiastic and never puts pressure on us. It is great exercise and something lovely to do together. We really enjoy the classes both group and private. The Practice sessions are great and really help. A really lovely bunch of people highly recommend these dance classes and venue

Carole is an amazingly patient dance teacher and never makes you feel uncomfortable and the other class participants were very welcoming when we joined. I always look forward to Monday nights! Having the Wednesday practice nights really helps to consolidate what we have learnt.

Carole is a highly experienced energetic professional ballroom dance teacher. She is very motivated and has excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

Her classes cater for all abilities and are always fun whilst at the same time you are learning and practicing a new skill. The teaching style is always lots of explanation, demonstration and plenty of practice with a lot of information on technique, posture and style. Whilst this is a group classes it always feels like she is giving you her undivided attention and no one is left behind as she appreciates that everybody has different learning abilities. She really does care and wants everyone to do well.

She definitely is very patience and has lots of perseverance as she has managed to boost my confidence and self-belief and to teach me (a middle aged man with two left feet, no coordination, no sense of rhythm nor any understanding of music) to get round a ballroom dance floor without making a fool of myself.

The class prices are also very competitive and great value.

Carole is very patient with us, we are very slow learners !
