What To Expect

We'll warm up together, learn some fun dance combinations, enjoy interactive movement activities, and finish by learning a short Afrobeats-inspired routine as a group.

Then we'll head upstairs for drinks, conversation, and the chance to get to know everyone properly.

The Vibe

This isn't a serious dance class and it's definitely not a fitness bootcamp.

 

It's a fun social experience where you can move your body, meet new people, and enjoy a great afternoon out.

Come solo or bring a friend.

Dance a little.

Laugh a lot.

Stay for drinks.

Leave feeling glad you came.

Perfect For Women Who Want To:
 

✨ Try something new

✨ Meet new people

✨ Get out of the house

✨ Build confidence

✨ Have fun without taking themselves too seriously

✨ Spend time around positive, like-minded women

✨ Enjoy a social afternoon with great energy

 

Coming Alone?

Please don't worry.

Most women attend our events solo.

You'll be welcomed from the moment you arrive, and the dancing is a great icebreaker before the social afterwards.

Many women arrive not knowing anyone.

Most leave with new connections and great memories.
 

✨ We'd love to see you there.
