20 Styles of Dance Class in Oxford
All Levels Welcome
Absolute beginners, nervous first-timers and seasoned dancers all share the same floor here. Our instructors unpick each step slowly, so you are never left guessing — expect a genuine mix of students and adults coming back to dance after years away. Sorting a hen do? We run those too.
Weekly Sessions
Classes sit on a steady weekly timetable with evening and weekend slots as we roll out across central Oxford and nearby areas. Drop in whenever it suits or reserve a four-week block to save — no membership, no strings, just turn up and dance. Got a first dance coming up? We choreograph those as well.
From £8 Per Class
A single drop-in costs £10, and a four-week block settles each class at just £8. Nothing is signed, no joining fee applies and no small print is hiding — try a style, judge how it suits you and proceed at your own pace. Ready to begin? Get in touch.
Pick Your Style
Twenty dance styles, one easy decision — choose whichever one lights you up and we will guide you in from there. No partner required and every class starts from scratch.
Bachata
Romantic Dominican partner dancing built on a gentle eight-count, soft hip sway and an easy lead-and-follow connection that clicks faster than you would expect.
Bachata Classes
Ballet
Barre exercises, centre practice and graceful adage that sharpen posture, alignment and control — a calm, classical class shaped for adults at any starting point.
Ballet Classes
Ballroom
Glide through waltz, foxtrot and quickstep with a partner, picking up the frame, footwork and timing that carry you confidently onto any social floor.
Ballroom Classes
Belly Dance
Isolated hip drops, shimmering shimmies and flowing snake arms — a joyful, low-impact style that strengthens the core and gently frees up the spine.
Belly Dance Classes
Bollywood
Bright, beaming routines stitched from classical Indian gesture and chart-topping film tracks — big formations, expressive hands and a guaranteed cardio buzz.
Bollywood Classes
Burlesque
Playful, tongue-in-cheek choreography with chair teasing, slow reveals and a feather-boa flourish — a vintage-flavoured class that leaves you walking taller.
Burlesque Classes
Commercial
The slick, camera-ready movement behind pop tours and music videos — punchy counts, real attitude and routines you will want to film and replay.
Commercial Classes
Contemporary
Grounded, breathing movement that drifts between ballet line and floor-based release — a style for telling stories and letting feeling lead the body.
Contemporary Classes
Flamenco
Proud carriage, hammering heelwork and sculpted arms set to driving Spanish rhythm — full of stamps, claps and fierce intensity, no castanets needed to begin.
Flamenco Classes
Heels
Bold, confidence-first choreography danced on a heel — commercial lines, slinky floor work and plenty of attitude in a room that firmly has your back.
Heels Classes
Hip-Hop
Groove-led foundations — bounces, rocks and clean hits — drawn from the roots of the culture and stacked up into routines you can freestyle off.
Hip-Hop Classes
Irish Dancing
Lightning-quick feet, a held upper body and that unmistakable Riverdance lift — crisp, rhythmic and far more moreish than you might ever guess.
Irish Dancing Classes
Jazz
Theatre-bright technique packed with kicks, pirouettes and pin-sharp isolations — a versatile all-rounder that feeds straight into every other style.
Jazz Classes
K-Pop
Mirror the exact choreography from BTS, BLACKPINK, Stray Kids and the rest — tight formations, clean transitions and the buzz of dancing in perfect sync.
K-Pop Classes
Line Dancing
No partner, no problem — rows of dancers moving as one to country, pop and line-floor classics. Sociable, simple to pick up and quietly addictive.
Line Dancing Classes
Pole Dance
Spins, holds and controlled climbs on a professional pole — a strength-building, genuinely empowering full-body workout that starts right from the floor.
Pole Dance Classes
Salsa
Quick footwork, smooth turns and that warm Latin pulse — the social dance that fills floors everywhere, taught patiently from the very first basic step.
Salsa Classes
Street Dance
Popping, locking, breaking and freestyle rolled into one high-octane class — big energy, real swagger and a friendly crew atmosphere to grow inside.
Street Dance Classes
Tango
Deliberate walks, a close embrace and sudden changes of direction — the smouldering Argentine dance that lives on listening and split-second connection.
Tango Classes
Tap
Make rhythm with your feet — shuffles, flaps and time steps that build into proper musical phrasing and that addictive metal-on-floor click.

Dance Class FAQ
The things people tend to check before joining a dance class in Oxford — the styles, the prices, the experience levels, where we run and what to pack.
What dance classes can I take in Oxford?
Across the week we teach twenty different dance styles in Oxford. On the Latin and partner side there is Bachata, Ballroom, Salsa and Tango. For something more theatrical, try Ballet, Contemporary, Jazz or Tap. The high-energy camp covers Commercial, Heels, Hip-Hop, K-Pop, Pole Dance and Street Dance. Rounding things off are Belly Dance, Bollywood, Burlesque, Flamenco, Irish Dancing and Line Dancing. Every style is led by a professional instructor and open to all levels, beginners very much included.
What do dance classes in Oxford cost?
One drop-in session costs £10. Book a four-week block for £32 and you save £8 against paying week by week. You will not find any contracts, joining fees or tie-ins waiting in the small print.
Do I need experience or a partner to come along?
Neither. Every class is built for all levels, and the partner-based styles rotate everyone around so you never need to bring someone of your own. Instructors layer the moves up gradually from the basics, which is exactly why so many of our dancers are adults returning after a long break.
Where in Oxford do classes take place?
Our weekly dance classes run at a studio we hire in Oxford city centre — a couple of minutes from the Covered Market and Gloucester Green. We are adding more venues across the city, so get in touch to hear when a class opens near you.
Can I come to one class before I commit to a block?
Of course — the £10 drop-in is there for precisely this. Spend one session with us under no obligation whatsoever, then step up to a four-week block whenever you feel ready.
What should I wear and bring?
Comfortable kit you can move in — leggings, joggers, a tee or a vest. Footwear follows the style: trainers for street, hip-hop and commercial; soft shoes or socks for ballet and contemporary; a sturdy heel for heels and burlesque; smooth-soled shoes for salsa, ballroom and tango. Bring some water, and your instructor will mention anything specific when you book.
