A Different Way to Dance
Dancetique was created to be a space where adults can move, dance and feel good — without pressure, judgement or unrealistic expectations.
We believe dance should feel welcoming, enjoyable and sustainable. Whether you’re stepping into a studio for the first time or returning after years away, you deserve classes that are thoughtfully taught and genuinely supportive.
Why Dancetique Exists
So many adult dance spaces feel intimidating or rushed. At Dancetique, we do things differently.
Classes are structured, clearly explained and paced so you can actually learn and enjoy the movement. We focus on progress, not perfection — and on how dance makes you feel, not how it looks.
This is a place to reconnect with your body, your confidence and your love of movement.
The Approach
Every class at Dancetique is built around:
- Clear teaching and step-by-step breakdowns
- Music that lifts your mood
- A calm, friendly studio environment
- Small class sizes for personal attention
There’s no shouting, no pressure to perform, and no expectation to be “a dancer”. Just well-planned classes and a supportive community.
Meet the Founder
Dancetique was founded and is run by Jen Holden — an ex-professional dancer and fully qualified dance teacher with over 10 years’ experience teaching dance to adults.
Jen has trained and worked across a range of dance styles and understands first-hand how intimidating returning to dance can feel as an adult. After years in professional and traditional dance environments, she saw the need for something different — a space where adults could learn properly, move confidently, and enjoy dance without pressure or judgement.
Her teaching style is clear, encouraging and structured, with a strong focus on helping people feel comfortable in their bodies while genuinely learning choreography and technique.
Every class at Dancetique reflects Jen’s belief that dance should be accessible, empowering and enjoyable — no matter your age, background or experience level.
More Than Just Classes
For many people, Dancetique becomes more than a weekly class. It’s a routine, a confidence boost, a creative outlet and a space to switch off from daily life.
We’re proud to have built a warm, welcoming community where people support one another and celebrate progress — however small.
