About this studio
Strictly Ballroom & Latin teaches Ballroom and Latin dance from their studio in Kimberley, Nottingham. The school is run by Dawn, an A-NATD qualified instructor with over 20 years of dance experience. Dawn began dancing at age 8 and entered competitions from age 9, eventually winning recognition across the Midlands for the most first places in dance competitions—a achievement that earned her a mention on Central News at age 16. She became fully qualified at 21 and has since built a career teaching full time, organising regular dance events and charity dances, and teaching on cruises.
The studio teaches Foxtrot, Viennese Waltz, Quickstep, Tango and Waltz in the Ballroom syllabus, and Rumba, Cha Cha Cha, Paso Doble, Samba, Jive, Salsa and Bachata in the Latin American syllabus. Adult dance classes are not course-based, so you can book any class according to your level of experience and attend flexibly. All classes must be booked in advance by phone, text or email.
Private lessons are available for couples or individuals who want to learn at their own pace—whether for weddings, first dances, birthdays or general tuition. Private lessons focus on leading and following, musicality, posture and avoiding collision on the dance floor. The studio offers 45-minute and 60-minute sessions for up to 2 people or up to 4 people, with prices from £27.50 to £50 depending on duration and group size.
Beyond classes, the studio runs a busy calendar of social events and dance holidays. Upcoming events include summer dances, tea dances, workshops with guest teachers, charity dances, and multi-night dance breaks to locations including Blackpool and Potters Resorts. Gift vouchers are available for classes, private lessons or workshops.
The studio was formerly known as Wollaton School of Dancing and serves students from Kimberley, Beeston, Greasley, Chilwell, Giltbrook and Eastwood. The location is next to Babbington Kennels on Westby Lane.
