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 highly recommend them to mums for children (boys&girls) of ages from 2yrs+. They have many classes and unlike most dance schools they charge on a weekly basis and not in advance, which i think is really good for those of us who can't afford to pay in bulk. They do a Tweenies Class for 2-3yr olds on a Sat morning which has a mixture of Tap, Disco & Ballet. For children age 4+ they also have Hiphop, Tap, Ballett, Jazz, Modern, Highland and irish and are about to start up Drama classes. They also have Aldult dance classes. Some dance classes are held through week also but most are on a Saturday. Children can also be involved in performing at the Edinburgh Stage Festival and Dance Competitions all over Scotland sometimes further. They hold a yearly dance show for all the parents and family. And they have exams twice a year that are optional for all children. They are very resonably priced and while your child is in class you can sit in the cafe area and have a cuppa and some hot or cold food. So come along and see what you are missing. Its great fun for all the family.

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.

I used to go to dance classes when I was younger, but I guess when you're young you don't take…read moreanything seriously and would much rather be running around with your friends. I gave up dancing when I was around 12 and I've regretted it ever since. I have so many friends who are always in dance shows and whenever I go to see them I wish I could be in them too! But I think I'm too old now to train to do any serious dancing. A couple of years ago I found Dance Factory and as they have a huge range of adult classes from beginners to advanced learners I decided to give it a shot. I went to the Hip Hop classes on a Thursday night and I had so much fun! There was a huge age range from 17 right up to about late 30's, so I didn't feel silly going. The teacher is so nice and the routines were always fab as was the music. The classes are £5.50 each and last for around an hour, you just pay per lesson which is great because you can fit it around a busy schedule as if you can't go one night it's no big deal as you haven't payed a hefty subscription fee. In addition to Hip Hop classes, they also have, Jazz, Ballet, Belly Dancing and Dance Gymnastics. I haven't been to the Dance Factory for a while but I'm definitely going to go back soon, it's a fun way to keep fit and I always left feeling really happy. So whether you're a total beginner or more experienced and just want to get back into dancing again then this is the place for you!

I would not recommend this dance school on the basis of their very strict terms and conditions…read more Deciding to leave is a costly process unless you leave at the end of their invoicing month or at the end of June. For example if your child decided on the 2nd week of the month dancing wasn't for them you would have to pay until the end of that month plus another full month! Shocking I'm my opinion. Employers expect less from staff so for a dance school to treat parents of children this way, I find it poor!

Sunday mornings and Royal Conservatoire Coffee Concerts are a match made in heaven. What an…read moreinspired idea, and at just £10 for coffee, cake and a concert (£7.50 concessions) an absolute bargain! I was lucky enough to make the very first Coffee Concert of the season and it was a useful introduction to the venue and what it might offer to the general public. Coffee and cake was served in the cafe post-concert where the performers and organisers mingled and chatted with an enthusiastic audience. Nice touch. Aside from an varied programme of concerts and performing arts staged by students past and present and visiting world-class talents, the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (previously known as RSAMD) has a Box Office and large cafe at its main entrance up those imposing steps. The corridor between the cafe and the Stevenson Hall (where the coffee concert was held) is lined with photos of the college's alumni - a veritable who's who of the arts, music and theatrical world. I was absolutely blown away by the acoustics at the Stephenson Hall which really did justice to the singers and musicians who provided us with a terrific show. The seats in the auditorium were very comfortable with ample leg room but then I'm a bit shorter than the average person! Tip #1: If you need more leg room in the Stevenson Hall then select an end of aisle seat (at the stairway) in one of the blocks of stalls either side of the main block of seating. Hope that makes sense? Tip #2: If you are looking for somewhere very inexpensive to eat, drink and/or meet up in town the cafe here may be just the ticket. Geared mainly for students but also open to the public the daily specials included vegetarian and vegan dishes (hurrah). A generous cup of tea cost 80p and a Dear Green Coffee cost £1.40 (in a lidded cup so you can take it away if you want). Tip #3: Ample sockets available for charging phones and laptops (and possibly free wifi but don't quote me) Pop in and check it out for yourself if you haven't already done so and keep an eye out for their events programme.

I had been here before for a fan dance class, possibly the beginning of last year and it was a…read moregreat airy space to allow us to swing the ol' fans about. When I headed back on Saturday it was still a great white airy space but it seemed different somehow but I overheard that it was recently done up. It's still a clean space with two good sized studios. The studio is easy to get to, either by bus or train. I jumped on the train and alighted at Bridgeton with only a 5 minute walk to the Templeton on the Green building. The White Studios is situated at the back of the Templeton building, passing by the security office and Elvis the cat if he's floating about. Our mission was to learn and rehearse a dance routine for an exciting flash mob appearance on Buchanan Street that very day. There was going to be lots of us participating. I'm not sure how many were involved in the end, possibly 50, but we sure did fill up that studio. It was a great day with an excellent studio space to rehearse in. Our choreography Susan was brilliant, clear with her instructions, especially with having to teach so many. The flash mob was a great success and I do hope they do another one soon. Dance HQ runs evening classes with various types of dancing and they also have their own dance troupe Blaze out entertaining the people of Glasgow. They also run classes to help with school education i.e. highers etc. I wish there was dance highers in my day. I've yet to try an evening class but hopefully I'll get the time to sign up for one soon.
