Our dance lessons with Suzy have been more than we could have hoped for. Suzy was always very patient and every lesson was adding little steps or details to make it even better. Our first dance worked out beautifully and impressed our guests. Would definitely recommend Suzy to anyone looking for lessons for the perfect first dance! More...

My husband and I had 3 lessons with Suzy. We were both complete beginner and were a little nervous before our first lesson! We soon found out that we needn't be at all, Suzy is a great teacher. Every moment was great fun, the routine was brilliant too and all of our guests commented on how great the dance was! Suzy was very patient, clear and encouraging. We couldn't have wished for better! We would highly recommend Suzy to anyone who want's to dance with confidence and have fun on their first dance! We can't thank her enough. Tash and Dan xxx More...

Suzy Smith is a terrific dance teacher. She's talented, professional and her classes are a joy. My husband (who had never danced in his life before) and I have been going to her classes for many years now where we have made some great friends. We can now get up on any dance floor and thoroughly enjoy ourselves. Suzy makes learning to dance such fun. We can't praise her highly enough. More...

Having always wanted to learn to dance i was delighted to see an ad for The First Dance and thrilled when my husband agreed to attend classes.
We hit the jackpot with Suzy's class she is a wonderful dancer and an amazing teacher. She is always so patient (something she has needed to be with our 4 left feet!) and always encouraging. Every class is such fun and we have made a whole new group of great friends since joining.

Suzie's easy style makes anything seem possible. She gives clear and simple instructions that even those with two left feet can follow. The atmosphere is always friendly and supportive and the music is varied and inspiring. We thoroughly enjoy our Thursday evenings at Purley. More...

I was booked to entertain the members on Friday night for their Italian wine tasting and food night. I perform Close Up Magic a Cabaret Show. I joined them for dinner and I was very welcomed by the members on my table and of course, they got to see some extra Magic. The staff were amazing and got very well looked after. It was a fantastic atmosphere and it was really good to see how well the staff looked after their members. This would be a great lesson to other Sports Clubs of how to look after your members. One of the members invited me back for a game of tennis which I took up - lovely courts and thinking of joining now!! More...

Q&As

Converting my clients to the love of dance! Clients often enter the studio looking nervous and unsure but at the end of their lesson they leave with a smile on their face, looking forward to the next lesson.

To impart my knowledge and experience so that my clients can enjoy their favourite music and have fun on the dance floor.

My lessons are informal and fun. I use popular music and teach the all important skills of Lead and Follow, and floor craft.
