Fantastic experience: As a complete beginner, on coming to the studio for the first time, both Kelly and Bob made me feel so welcome, relaxed and at ease. For anyone thinking 'I would love to learn but not sure if I can?', Puttin on the Ritz is the perfect place to go. The lessons were broken down step by step, making them easy to follow. I have learnt so much from them. On a recent holiday, there I was on the dance floor with my husband, doing the Rumba! Thank you Bob and Kelly for introducing me to the world of Ballroom dance.

Fantastic experience: Kelly is a superstar - patient and knowledgeable. Great place to learn to dance.

Fantastic experience: I wanted a hobby that my husband and I could do together. A friend told me about Putting On The Ritz, and after some gentle arm twisting my husband agreed . It has proved a lot of fun, frustrating and challenging at times, but very rewarding when you can finally do some basic steps. Kelly is an incredibly, patient teacher and lessons are structured for different ability levels, so you start with the basics along with others in the same boat. There are also regular social evenings where you can practice your steps. If you like dancing give it a go and Keep Dancing

Fantastic experience: PotR has taken me from a 'I have two left feet' to an enthusiastic social dancer and even competition dancer! Not only is this a place where I have made friends and discovered a brilliant hobby, but where my own self-confidence has been boosted by Kelly and Bob to get the best out of me. So believe me, this is a place where you can flourish with superb teachers and great fun to be had by all.

Fantastic experience: Started out 6 months ago rather nervous as i went on my own. However I was made very welcome. Everyone is friendly and approachable. You are supported all the time with teachers, trainee teachers and helpers. The kettle is always on. And now I am in a new class enjoying perfecting the techniques and learning new fiddly bits !!

Fantastic experience: Puttin’ on the ritz is a great place to learn dance you can be 6 or 100 years of age, big or small, it is a great place to go !!!! The teachers are fantastic and super nice, I only wish I had started sooner. But outside there is plenty of space to park and the inside of the building is beautiful and colourful and a place where you can go and have a great time. you will meet loads of new people and will make new friends, if I were you I would go and contact Bob or Kelly right now and tell them you want to start learning how to dance!!!!

Fantastic experience: Arguably the best dance centre in the South West. A built-to-order sprung floor - good facilities - excellent training to competition level (if you want to take it that far) otherwise really solid social dance technique teaching and incredibly welcoming and empathetic to total beginners. Parking is free and plentiful. Many social events.
