“Such a fun class, great teacher & good vibes all round. Haven’t danced since I was young and was a little nervous incase I couldn’t keep up, but the class is beginner friendly explaining the steps throughout and everyone has been so friendly! Been a great addition to my week for fun, exercise & confidence.”
Went there for the first time and I really had a great time. Everyone was welcoming and Chinyanta was really attentive and took her time in making sure everyone was keeping up with the moves. It was all round good vibes ✨️
Chinyanta ran two dance classes for The Young Women’s Movement’s 100th birthday party. She was an amazing teacher, and the young people had an absolutely great time learning the dance. Thank you so much!
Personally, I have never had such great feedback on entertainment for an office event before, everyone across the office loved the performance and it brought amazing energetic vibes to the event. A few staff members who participated in the dancing said the dancers were friendly, fun and just fantastic to watch and dance with. I cannot recommend Chinyanta and Michael enough and would definitely book in another performance at a future event! Thank you so much!
We provide vibrant dance classes in Glasgow for anyone who wants to explore a range of styles, from Afrofusion and Afrobeats to Amapiano, Ndombolo, and more. Our focus is on strong foundations: taking the time to learn each step, its origins, and its cultural context.
We also invite guest teachers to share their styles. Beyond the studio, we host social outings where our community can connect, celebrate, and of course, dance. Our mission is to grow a welcoming community of people who love and appreciate Afro dance. In our classes, you’ll find everyone from Uni students to young professionals, ex ballet dancers to complete beginners, all moving together and all welcome!
