Having danced all my life in various forms of partner dancing, I am very passionate about sharing the benefits of how dance can transform your life in so many ways. So in 1996 I started running my own dance school, called Tracie's Latin Club (or TLC for short!)

As Beginners, it can be very daunting to take your first few steps (with your two or more left feet), but when it all comes together, it’s the best feeling in the world. I believe, dancing is more than just a hobby, it can:
• Give you more energy and confidence;
• Cure the ‘two left feet’ syndrome;
• Make a new social life for you where you meet new friends;
• Give you a life skill and a language you can take all over the world;
• Change your life!

We encourages everyone to dance at TLC in a happy, friendly environment, where we endeavour to make the classes easy to understand, relaxed and full of great tips and most of all options! Everyone is welcome at TLC – so take the chance and dance … it must just change your life!

Our courses are designed for the Absolute Beginner and offer you the chance to learn this fantastic dance, slowly and progressively with our expert teachers and is also great value for money. Places are limited and our courses are always over subscribed so book now to avoid disappointment.

Partners are very welcome, but not obligatory. You can come on your own or with friends and we’ll rotate the partners for you. It’s great fun, and even if you have 2 or more left feet, we'll give you the right one back! Join us on the dance floor and we will guide you through every step along the way.

The hardest thing you'll have to do is walk through that door, but after that, we give you the 'TLC' experience and you'll have FUN guaranteed.
