Welcome to 
Topaz Dance School
Owner: Joanne Hague L.U.K.A
Established since 1994

Whether you are a complete beginner, or an advanced dancer Topaz offers the opportunity to expand your experience, either within a class environment or in a private lesson. Private lessons are perfect for a special wedding/first dance. Also shift - workers who struggle to commit to a weekly class may prefer 1:1 sessions. 

Learning to dance enhances your social scene. 
Topaz members are lovely people (of all ages) who 
enjoy getting together for practice nights, social dances, balls and dance trips away.
The class timetable covers dances such as ‘Strictly style’ Ballroom and Latin American.
Other classes and workshops on Salsa, Argentine Tango and Rock’n’roll are due to be set up very soon.

Mission statement

... A promise to deliver top quality tuition in a warm and friendly atmosphere where the emphasis is on fun, friendship and fitness. Learning to dance is a real asset! It can improve your memory, co-ordination and for those who suffer with shyness, dance can help to build confidence and a greater sense of ‘well-being’.

Background

From the tender age of 11 years old I had a driving passion to dance, perform, teach, adjudicate and run a Dance School.

After completing all of my Medal Test Exams, competing with various dance partners, ultimately specialising in 10 dance championships - winning many Championship titles along the way and working for 10 years with P&O Cruises hosting and teaching while at Sea.

TV appearances include the original Come Dancing with Angela Rippon as the Presenter - plus extra work on The Forsyte Saga, Midweek Lottery Show and working for Karl Lagerfeld's Chanel Models - teaching them to dance for their cruisewear collection, after being flown out to the Cannes Fashion Festival.

I am proud to say that I have trained many dancers to become top of their League and some are now Professional Dancers and Teachers.

For me dance is a passion, and I believe that it is a real tonic for the soul. Love what you do - and you never work a day in your life - this motto runs through to my core! 

If you a reluctant to join initially - maybe you are being dragged along by your partner - I will guarentee that you will love it and will soon be addicted!
