I have always wanted to do commercial dance but have always been too scared. I joined AE Dance and it’s the best thing I have done. The classes are so fun and energising and it’s what I look forward to all week. They’re very welcoming and encouraging and I have already made loads of friends!
As a non-dancer (challenged with what felt like three left feet), joining beginners Commercial classes has been a blessing. I started going to push myself out of my comfort zone (definitely achieved) and have quickly grown to love the classes and have great fun. A friendly environment where you aren't judged even if you get it wrong!
This is such an amazing dance school. I have wanted to join one for the last 10 years but I was too scared of being a beginner and looking silly / not fitting in. I joined doing a total beginner class and the teachers are SO friendly, supportive and encouraging. I loved it so much I have joined for another term in the class / level up. Their main focus is that everyone has a good time and feels comfortable, and they surpass that goal every week! They obviously give you tips and encourage you to dance better but it’s more about how you feel than how you look. There are opportunities to perform in chill environments too. I can’t recommend enough. If you’ve been umming and ahhing, give it a go, you won’t regret it!
Started doing Tap Level 0 - absolute beginners. I love the classes so much, the teacher is great, the group is supportive and lovely. Each week we have takeaways to practice (if we have time) but it's all no pressure and chilled and fun. Steps are broken down into bitesize chunks and you can see the whole class improving each week, which feels so great. I can't recommend AE Dance & Fitness and tap enough 💃🏻
I’ve been doing classes with Angie for about 3 years now and I have got to say they’re the highlight of my week! I did a bit of ballet when I was younger but I was by no means experienced when I joined her Thursday night Lyrical Contemporary and Jazz classes, but she and everyone in the classes is supportive and encouraging! These classes aren’t like what I remember from being younger- the focus is whole-heartedly on having fun and moving your body, and along the way you pick up some routines and learn some dance words! Couldn’t recommend these classes enough!!

Inclusive, fun dance classes in Bristol where everyone is welcome to move, groove, and grow!
