Paul started sharing his passion for Ballroom and Latin dance in 1979, offering local classes, private tuition and hosting social dances.

Since 2018, Paul and Marie have been on a joint venture, teaching classes, running workshops and hosting dance breaks for some of the UK’s leading dance holiday companies.

In their approach to teaching, they use the principle that music is the driving force behind everything which happens on the dance floor. They believe in encouraging people to learn by using their innate body intelligence rather than their logical thinking and intellect.

Whether you’re a complete beginner, revisiting a love of dance, or looking to refine your technique, their friendly, tailored approach makes learning fun, accessible, and inspiring.

Local Classes

Next Holiday

We love Paul's classes.  He is teaching us how to really dance rather than just get around the dance floor with a series of steps.

Neil & Jo Fellowes

We love going to Paul's classes.  He is so encouraging!  We are becoming more skilled at our dancing with his help.  Lessons are fun and we've made many new dancing friends.

Di & John

Paul is a beautiful dancer coupled with excellent teaching skills developed over many years as a professional. He encourages and motivates his students at all levels to develop and experience the thrill of dancing rather than just learning the steps. Paul has a substantial following developed over his many years of teaching. You will not be disappointed!

Ivor & Joan Metherell

All the teaching is very good but we found Paul and Marie’s ways of explaining technique particularly interesting and helpful.

Alan Schaaf

Paul and Marie deliver incredible value in their lessons. It is so refreshing to have lessons where the focus is on the mechanics of dance (not steps) and dancing in harmony with your partner. The dancing on Saturday night, thanks to Paul and Marie’s input, felt amazing.

A most enjoyable holiday, dancing to great music on a fabulous dance floor, beautifully hosted by Paul & Carole, and with some high value Viennese waltz tuition from Paul and Marie as an added bonus.

Phil Miller

A superb programme of workshops with first class tuition, especially Paul & Marie. So good to focus on technique, rather than just trying to memorise a routine. Far better format.

Pamela Tracey

Really great music, great Sambas – good speed/tempo etc (plus other great, ‘different’ tracks) & superb teachers, everything very well organised & all friendly.

Oona Kelly

Paul and Carole’s organisation of the holiday is outstanding, everyone is looked after and made to feel welcome. Paul and Marie – teaching excellent, very technical and put across in a way that you can all take something from and relate to your own training. Teaches with a great sense of humour, very patient and both happy to help and pass on their knowledge.

What better way to spend Easter than at a dance break with welcoming hosts that go the extra mile, fabulous dances and music, the very best teaching and in the company of your dance friends!

Mrs Kathy Plaster

Consequentially this is a belated message of thanks and appreciation for another successful and enjoyable weekend. As always a great deal of thought and planning goes into the preparation prior to the event as well as the subsequent professional delivery. Also thank you both for your care, support, and encouragement extended to everyone regardless whether they attended for the first time or could perhaps be considered veterans.

To generate such a lovely ambience and extent of camaraderie throughout the weekend is tribute to your combined contributions and very special partnership.
