The Dance House is Glasgow's most vibrant centre for adult dance classes. It offers everything from…read morecontemporary styles to tap, taking in a few of the more esoteric international techniques, and even having regular butoh classes. It brings together the working artists and the enthusiastic amateurs, and even offers weekly rehearsal space to companies looking to hone up a particular work. It also serves as a hub for Glasgow's creative communities, distributing opportunities, connecting artists and giving them the chance to share their works-in-progress. With a new space now open near the Tron, they look set to expand their operations in the near future, and bring dance to even more people.

The Dance House is bloody brilliant! I really wished I had taken dance lessons as a child but…read moreunfortunately I never did and was dying to get into dancing as an adult. However I had visions of myself in a beginners dance class, in a tutu surrounded by 3 year olds doing perfect pirouettes! That was until I found out about Dance House which specialises in adults dance classes (although kids classes are available). I went along with the idea that I would learn some traditional dance styles like ballet and tap but that was until I saw the much cooler classes on offer! I ended up signing on for the "Strike a pose" taster class which let you try Fosse Listation, Burlesque and Music Video Moves, oh man, I made Beyonce look like an amateur! I can not recommend Dance House highly enough! I was really worried when I saw the posh exterior that the classes wouldn't be any fun and everyone would take themselves too seriously but I was so wrong! It was such a good laugh and the atmosphere was very friendly and relaxed. The Dance House does also teach professionals though if you are wanting to get into dancing as a career. Dance House also offers private tuition and choreography for wedding dances and can work with either the bride and groom on their own or they can include the bridesmaids, best man, parents and others! I think next I'm going to try West African dancing to drums and Musical Mania!

I love dancing and when I was younger I used to do ballet, tap, modern and in my teens was into hip…read morehop dancing. Unfortunately, due to starting Uni, working and any other excuses I can make up for becoming lazy I just can't seem to find time for dancing apart from a boogie on a night out. This is a real shame as it's something I've always loved doing. I've seen various classes advertised for adults but what puts me off is that fact that you usually have to pay a subscription fee and a lump sum for a block of classes most of which I'll probably miss. So, when I found out that Dance Glasgow offer classes where you pay whenever you go I was ecstatic! On average the price for a class is around £6 but usually £4 if you are a student which is amazing. They offer an extensive range of classes, better than I've seen anywhere else and they're always held in central city centre locations. Adult classes include; Beginners and intermediate ballet Pop videos - I definitely need to check this one out as it would be so much fun learning a popular dance routine and it's such an excellent idea! Hip Hop Pussycat Dolls Workout Contemporary Dance and they even have a Glee club on a Monday night where you learn a song from Glee and the dance moves too... this class lasts for two hours and is £8 (£6). Amazing! If, like me, the thought of going to the gym in unbearably boring then grab some friends and pick a class from Dance Glasgow, you'll be getting fit and have a great time too.

Dance Glasgow is great. They have a wide variety of dance styles on offer, including some you'd…read morenever see anywhere else, they are always putting on new courses or one-off special workshops and, best of all, most of the classes only cost a fiver, which is a bargain compared to other places or going to the gym! They even have student discounts on some classes, or you can buy gift vouchers and 10-class or unlimited cards. I've been coming here for years and everyone's welcome, there's always a mixture of ages, shapes and sizes so don't feel like you have to be a skelf or super-fit already to get involved. All the staff and instructors are encouraging and know what they're doing. Nobody's going to tell you off for not keeping up with the routines. Nobody's going to make you pay for anything in sweat. I can particularly recommend Karoliina's dancehall classes for ladies who know they have a bum, but aren't quite sure what to do with it on a dancefloor :-) The yoga and stretch and tone classes are also excellent. They have a venue in the west end and a newer location in Jamaica Street as well, check their website or Facebook page to see a timetable of what's on where. Both locations are in old buildings, and the west end one in particular is a bit cold in winter and roasting in the summer, but dress accordingly and you'll be fine. Get dancing!

Dance with Attitude is a great resource if you are an adult looking to pick up a new hobby or if…read moredancing is something you've wanted to try but never had the opportunity. Here you can pay per class rather than paying a bulk sum so if you try out a class and don't like it then it's not the end of the world - just try another one. There are a tonne of classes on offer here including; -Salsa -Tango -Flamenco -Street jazz -Belly dance -Break dance If you are really into dancing then you can buy a bundle of 3 or 4 to save money or you can even buy a "dance passport". For £70 (£55) you get a months "passport" which means you can go to as many classes as you like and dance your socks off. You can also get "passports" for a period of 3, 6 or 12 months.

I used to work in a basement nightclub that held salsa classes, and when working during them I…read morealways found the social dynamic odd, sometimes embarrassing, but nonetheless fascinating. We had the teacher himself, a balding lothario who I got the impression was at it with the majority of the younger female attendees, and groups of 40 something couples whom definitely had a more seedy agenda than coming simply for a dance, but didn't fancy getting caught dogging in a car park. There were also a few lonely social miisfits and a contingent of bitter, hateful single women in their early 30s, whose excessive white wine consumption didn't really do much for their chances of meeting Mr Right, or even Mr Desperate. With about 10 different types of dance class on, including salsa and other lusty latino-themed varieties, any amateur sociologists among you could have a field day in here.

Great little dance studio that is tucked away off duke street. It is in a small industrial estate…read moreand the shutters are always done but you enter from the small door at the front. Inside the studio is well set out with a cloakroom toilets and main desk just as you come in. The sound system is fab as are the disco lights. There is a wide range of classes on offer for children and teenagers as well as adult classes. Dont let the location put you off ... its a great little place!

So, this is a pretty interesting way of exercising ey? I've ALWAYS wanted to try pole fitness,…read morebecause as easy as it looks, I know it's super difficult. I wanted to challenge myself and be able to be as strong as the super fit pole dancers I see on Instagram haha Anyway, after I saw Rebecca's review, I thought that I'd definitely try out this place! She was kind enough to link me to a Wowcher that was £12 for 4 classes! I immediately bought it and went for a month! Definitely keep an eye out for these vouchers because they're worth it if you wanna give a place a try! Anyway, the studio is relatively spacious. Depending on how many students there are on that day. Beginners usually stick together on one side and advanced students are on the other side. The main teacher, Suzy, is always there! And there's always another teacher coming in, but they change up every week. They do it in rotation and I quite like that because we get taught by different perspectives! The only thing is that there are many students so you won't be getting a one on one class with the instructors! They have to jump from beginners to intermediate to advanced the whole time so, bare in mind that you'll learn something new and practice it A LOT on your own. I've been to 4 classes already and I can tell ya, my legs are completely covered in bruises! Not as graceful as I thought I'd be but hey, no pain no gain! BUT, if you're curious, don't be shy and give it a try (that rhymed). I'm probably gonna continue pole fitness next year because I like it so much!

Ok. I have a confession to make. I love pole fitness. No, I'm not a stripper. No, I don't want to…read morebe a stripper one day. No, I don't parade around in sequins and 9 inch heels (well, sometimes, but that's unrelated). I just love pole fitness. If you've ever tried yoga and been surprised about how much confidence it gave you and how good you felt in your own skin, you'll love pole. If you've ever tried weights training and been amazed at how quickly your strength improves, you'll love pole. If you're wanting to try something a bit different but that will really tire you out and give you a great workout including focuses strength, cardio and flexibility, then I can't recommend pole enough. I bought a Wowcher offering 4 pole classes, each 90 minutes long for Twirl and Tone in October. I'd never done anything like that before. Since then I have become a total addict. After the first class I ached for a week but when the second one came round I could already do some of the moves that I'd previously found impossible. I can now spin around upside down but I still can't do a single thing in heels and, if I don't want to, I don't have to. The instructors for this class are all fantastic. They're friendly and supportive - they'll push you to try harder but never to the point where you're uncomfortable. They'll talk to you about what you want from the class and they'll make sure that you achieve that. They have loads of classes throughout the week - most are generic pole classes where everyone works on their own thing at their own pace, but they also offer classes specifically to work on one area, whether flexibility or routines. For the regular classes you get a discount for booking in blocks of four or for being a student. You can also buy unlimited classes for a month. Go try it out. You might surprise yourself.

Recently re-joined the Glasgow Club (only my 3rd or 4th time of re-joining, yeah! Haha!) and I have…read moreto say I did not even know this place existed until a taxi took me past here one day & I spotted the Glasgow Club sign. This is SO handy for my work and until Kelvinhall gets its act together & finally re-opens this shall be my 'local' GC gym. Drumoyne GC is like Haghill in that it is also adjoined to the local primary school, this makes it a lot easier to find/ask directions as if you say 'Drumoyne GC' to most folk they probably wouldn't have a clue but if you asked whereabouts the local primary school is most peeps would know. Plus this time of year it is great as the school & GC are all lit up quite brightly which makes it a lot less spookier when approaching & leaving the place. I've only been twice so far; once to the gym & again for a class. The gym is an okay size - similar to Haghill or Springburn with about 4 or 5 of most cardio machines plus weight machines and also 2 seperate areas for free weights/mat work. They have the music channel on the main stereo system but some machines have wee tv's to which you can plug in headphones so you can climb a hill whilst watching Pointless if you so wish. S'nice. The room for the classes is also of reasonable size and I have to say they put on quite a few different classes and various times for a quite small GC venue. The room fits maybe about 20 people tops, depending on the class. I went for Body Pump and I presumed I was the only non-regular there as I was the only one she singled out & said 'Have you done Body Pump before?' too. Most others are hardcore regular pumpers (ooh-err!) and by the end of the class it showed (I was sweating like a beast & most of them were all staying on for another class! Crazy!) Really enjoyed the class and I ended having to be right at the front directly in front of the instructor (which I wouldn't normally choose to do) but it was fine - she kept me right with my posture/moves which considering I hadn't done BP for a while was helpful. She was a tad scary at first but then again a lot of these instructors can be...*sorry GC instructors!* The changing area was clean & had quite a few private showers, toilets & lockers are placed nearby and all are within the vicinity of the gym or class-hall so it means you can make a swift entrance & exit if in a hurry. Lockers here take a £1 so please don't be like me & forget to bring one...doh. Luckily the lady on reception handed me some change, phew. Mon-Thur Drumoyne GC opens from 9am-10pm, on a Friday it shuts a bit earlier at 9pm and at the weekends it's open 9am-5pm. They also have 7 & 11 a-side 2G & 3G (haven't a clue what that means?!) football pitches alongside grass rugby & footie pitches. Public transport-wise the nearest subway is Govan but it is quite a walk away so I usually get a bus from here to the subway station as there are bus stops directly outside and all the buses that stop here seem pretty regular. It is also about a 15 minute walk from the Southern General hospital.
