Behind every graceful turn, confident step, and glowing smile at Step By Me Dance Studios in Westminster, there’s something truly special—our team of professionally trained ballroom and Latin dance teachers. They are the heart of our studio: dedicated, inspiring, and passionately committed to helping every student, from absolute beginners to competitive dancers, reach their full potential.

If you’ve ever wondered what sets a truly exceptional dance class apart, the answer usually lies in the instructor. Let’s explore what makes our teachers stand out, the depth of their professional training, and how they help every student find their rhythm, confidence, and joy in dancing.

A Foundation Built on Professional Training

When you step into one of our ballroom or Latin classes, you’re learning from teachers with years—often decades—of dance experience. Our instructors have undergone formal dance education and internationally recognised certifications, often through organisations such as the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD), UKA Dance, or the British Dance Council (BDC).

This professional training means they understand not only how to dance, but how to teach dance effectively. They’re trained in biomechanics, rhythm, technique, and performance psychology—skills that allow them to communicate complex movements clearly and help you build good habits right from your very first class.

Whether they’re guiding you through the elegance of a Waltz or the lively rhythm of a Cha-Cha, our teachers bring structure, precision, and artistry to every step.

Ballroom and Latin Excellence

Our instructors specialise across the full spectrum of Ballroom and Latin dance styles, offering expertise in:

• Ballroom dances – Waltz, Tango, Viennese Waltz, Foxtrot, Quickstep
• Latin dances – Cha-Cha-Cha, Rumba, Samba, Paso Doble, Jive

Each of these styles has its own technical language and expressive flair—and our teachers know exactly how to bring both to life. They help students grasp the mechanics of posture, footwork, and timing, while also teaching the artistry of movement—how to dance with feeling.

In a typical class, you’ll notice how each instructor focuses on connection, precision, and expression. They’ll guide you patiently through the details of body alignment, the energy in your frame, and the way music informs movement. The goal? To make every step look effortless—and feel amazing.

The Art of Teaching Dance

Great dancers aren’t always great teachers—but at Step By Me, our instructors are both. Each teacher has been trained in the art of instruction as well as in dance performance. That means they know how to tailor lessons to your learning style, pace, and goals.

For beginners, that might mean breaking things down to the basics—understanding rhythm, simple patterns, and confidence on the floor. For more advanced dancers, it could mean refining technique, building stamina, or preparing for showcases and competitions.

Our teachers are approachable, patient, and encouraging. They know how to challenge you just enough to inspire progress, while keeping every lesson enjoyable and stress-free.

Personalised Dance Journeys

Every dancer’s journey is different, and our instructors take that to heart. Whether you’re learning solo, dancing with a partner, or preparing for a wedding first dance, your teacher will design a plan that reflects your aspirations and comfort level.

If you’re dancing socially, they’ll focus on helping you feel confident and relaxed at parties and events. If you’re aiming to compete or perform, they’ll coach you in stage presence, musicality, and advanced technique. And if your goal is simply to move for joy, fitness, or expression, they’ll ensure every class leaves you smiling and energised.

At Step By Me, personal growth is as important as technical skill. Our teachers take pride in seeing students transform—not just in how they dance, but in how they carry themselves.

Why Professional Training Matters

Professional training sets our instructors apart in many ways. It ensures they:

• Understand safe teaching methods, so you can learn without injury or strain.
• Maintain technical accuracy, keeping traditional styles authentic while adapting them to modern trends.
• Know how to analyse movement, offering clear, constructive feedback to help you improve quickly.
• Stay updated through continuing education, workshops, and ongoing certifications.

The result is a learning experience that’s structured, effective, and rewarding. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned dancer, you can trust that your instructor knows exactly how to guide your progress.

Inspiring Confidence and Joy

Dancing is about more than steps—it’s about connection, confidence, and joy. Our teachers understand how transformative dance can be, both physically and emotionally. They foster an atmosphere where everyone feels welcome, supported, and inspired to grow.

If you’ve ever walked into a dance class feeling nervous, you’ll quickly discover that our instructors have a gift for putting people at ease. They create a space where mistakes are part of learning, laughter is encouraged, and improvement feels natural.

The confidence our students gain often extends far beyond the dance floor—helping them feel more self-assured in everyday life.
