Happy Feet Dance Academy

Welcome to our Latin, Ballroom and Sequence Dance Experience

What we do

 

Your first steps to achieving dance perfection!

 

To achieve our aim i.e. “To provide a safe, fun place for you to learn and improve your ballroom, latin and sequence dancing whether a complete novice or with some expertise under your belt.” We offer dance tuition and experience in four ways:

Dance Clubs

 

Learning to dance is a joyful experience and joining a Group of likeminded people works so well in so many ways. Our dance sessions are held weekly and suit couples wanting to learn on a regular basis. They cater for a range of ballroom, latin and sequence dance experience. 

 

Our weekly Dance Clubs are located at:

 

High Bickington (EX37 9PN) on Mondays 7.30pm 

Yeo Mill (EX36 3NU) on Tuesdays 7.30pm

Bampton (EX16 9LT) on Thursdays 7.00pm and Sundays 6.15pm & 7.30pm

 

Intermittently we also run series of workshops to master a specific ballroom or latin dance. These are universally loved and have previously covered dance areas of Jive, Salsa and Tango. They are open to all our club members and are run at one our club locations. It enables the clubs to pick up and run with a dance in a fun but with slightly more intensive approach. 

 

New dance partners can join at any level and at any time of the year and with any level of experience.  Having several Groups, all within striking distance of each other, provides the opportunity to attend more than one Group – as many do – thereby accelerating progress. If you are interested in joining or finding out more about our clubs please click here to look at our gallery to see the fun.

Private Dance Lessons

 

Do you want to learn to dance for a special occasion or want to take your first tentative steps on the dance floor? Equally are you struggling with picking up a specific dance move or sequence dance and wish to master it? Then a private lesson may be just the ticket. These are geared for the indivdual, dance pairs or  a small group (working with the Young Farmers entering a dancing competition was just an inspiration as the young talent unfolded before our eyes!). Our club members relish them, using them for catching up after holidays and perfecting technique. All find them great fun and very instructive. What ever your reason you will definitely improve! 

For details call Lynne on 07704 614107, or click here now.​

 Social Dance Events

We regularly run social dances throughout the year, these are a great opportunity to dress up and enjoy a fun packed evening with friends. Wet your appetite with a variety of evening dances, tea dances or our annual dance and pub meal. Open to all, by ticket in advance,(dance pairs only). Please click here to see the details of forthcoming events to savour and get your feet tripping the light fantastic.

For more information or tickets phone Lynne on 07704 614107

Holidays

 

Nothing accentuates the benefits of learning to dance more than having a fun and relaxing holiday break with new found friends at a carefully chosen hotel with a tailor made programme.

Each holiday takes place over a weekend (Friday afternoon until Sunday lunch) and includes a Black Tie Ball with live music on one evening, a themed colour code for one evening, professional tuition at two workshops (one sequence, one ballroom or latin) on Saturday and a total of five sessions of dancing.

Being a party of people means party rates and the chance to enjoy some of the best hotels around Devon. Currently holidays are arranged, at Torquay (The Victoria Hotel), at Bideford (The Durrant House Hotel) and at Torquay (The Toorak Hotel) . All the Hotels are in stunning locations and provide brilliant dance halls.
