Britannia Dance

It was a great day when we discovered Britannia dance studios. Thanks to Sam and Martina we have gone from novices to gold medal ballroom dancers in three years!Their teaching is superb with a great mix of technique and interesting choreo.The Argentine Tango routine that Martina created for us always brings praise from fellow dancers and we look forward to many more years under their excellent tutelage.Bring on the Samba!

We have been dancing for 3 years, all the time, trained by Sam and Martina. They have got us to Gold medal standard in ballroom! Throughout, they have been superb teachers...very understanding of how many left feet I have! Sam is a superb teacher and very talented. Martina taught us a lovely routine in the Argentine Tango, which we know other people often admire, when we do it on the dance floor. We consider ourselves very lucky to have 2 such talented teachers in the Stroud area. Thank you, Sam and Martina! Peter and Pamela Keevil

I booked a birthday party here and my daughter loved it and had a great time during Martina's lesson and enjoyed the space with her friends afterwards. Martina was lovely with the children and Samuel was very flexible and accommodating with all that he could provide to ensure the party went smoothly. I would definitely hire it again.

Have been learning to dance ballroom and latin with Sam and Martina for several years. Enjoyable classes and good music too. Sam always tries to arrange groups with similar abilities and so there is no pressure and everyone is very relaxed. We tried several classes in the local area but Sam and Martina's was the best for us.

My daughter attended dance classes with Sam & Martina and absolutely loved the experience. We moved away from the area and couldn't find any dance classes to replace the nurturing and friendly environment that Britannia provide. Luckily we have moved back and my daughter is absolutely delighted to be returning to dance.I cannot recommend Sam and Martina enough, they are a great team and the children love their classes.

My husband and I have been attending the classes at the Southbank Club, Southville, Bristol for over 3 years. We very much enjoy the classes and alway look forward to our Tuesday evenings. We're now in the intermediate class although we like going to the improvers at 8.00 pm before we join our intermediate class at 9.pm as it gives us a chance to review and improve on our technique. Sam and Martina are great teachers, very friendly and supportive. It's not always easy to go out after a day's work or on a cold winter night but it's always been worth it. It's fun, it's friendly, you meet new people and it's a great way to keep physically active. Definitely recommends the classes with Sam & Martina.

Martina's Zumba Gold classes are fast and furious but great fun! I seem to spend a lot of time ' not quite getting it right' but it doesn't matter a bit and I am reaping lots of benefits such as supple joints and less joint pain along with increasing stamina and most of all having fun. Whatever your age or ability come along and try a session.

Been with Britannia Dance nearly 2 years, and they have helped me reach towards my ballroom and latin double silver and will go further. Sam is a fabulous teacher!! So patient and really knows his stuff! Including Martina an amazing lady, ballroom and zumba teacher with amazing skills and talents to both of them. I love dancing at Britannia Dance school, it has helped me in so many ways to get where I want to be in my life. So thank you so much Sam and Martina. 10 out of 10 Xxx

My daughter joined Sam's ballroom class as a beginner a year ago and immediately took to it due in no small part to Sam's teaching. His professionalism has inspired her love for learning the technical detail and his enthusiasm has inspired her continuing enjoyment in his classes. Most importantly his support and encouragement has allowed her to grow in confidence as a dancer and to enjoy taking part in competitions and progressing through the grades. Joanna and Amy (age 11)

We started dancing almost two years ago, and love coming to ballroom classes. Sam and Martina are so friendly and make the classes into a social event as much as a lesson. We can't make it every week due to work and family commitments, but easily catch up the following session. We love the tango best!
