The most unexpected and fun Christmas present! My fiancé and I had a wonderful time with Phil, he put us totally at ease to learn the basics for our first dance. We’ll definitely be back! ⭐️💃🕺

My dance group & I most recently flew over From England to Belfast for a few days especially to see Phil & Jenna. They taught & gave us a wonderful and broad experience in order to improve in our dancing of Salsa & Bachata. Thank you to both of you. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Sal CUNNIFF

Social Dance Academy Belfast is an absolutely fantastic dance school! I went along as a total beginner in Bachata, Salsa and Kizomba and it didn’t take long before I was learning all three dance styles! The instructors Phil, Meredith and Jenna are all first class and so welcoming and friendly! They are patient and make the whole experience so relaxed and so much fun! I did a few private lessons with Jenna which helped me so so much and she has brought me on from a being an absolute beginner, knowing nothing to feeling more confident and comfortable and holding my own. I’m only at the beginning of my journey, but I’m looking forward to what is to come. The atmosphere in the academy and the people it attracts makes it such a fun experience! Phil, Meredith and Jenna’s love for dancing is just amazing and so infectious and has lit a fire within me to continue my dance journey! The academy is also a great place for more experienced dancers and improvers and you will be welcomed with open arms! I can’t recommend SDAB enough!! If you are on the fence, just give it a go!!

I nervously booked this as part of a birthday weekend for my wife and was nervous as neither of us had any experience and can be quite shy. It was the highlight of the weekend and we're already talking about going back. Phil and the crew were so welcoming, amazing teachers and clearly so passionate about dance. If you have any doubts about going to a class please read this review and take it as a sign it's time to learn something about dance! No experience or rhythm required!

I contacted Phil at the beginning of the year to see if he would be able to train me and my dad for the father daughter dance at my upcoming wedding. We went every Friday and had a complete ball! Neither of us had any real dancing experience but Phil and Jenna put us totally at ease. They were amazing at helping us to pick up the dancing technique but we also had so much fun at each lesson, it was great bonding time for me and my Dad! The big day came and the dance was a total success with many guests shedding tears! I would highly recommend Phil and Jenna to anyone and am already missing our Friday dance class!
