Meet the instructor

Hello! My name is Anthony, and I'm thrilled to share my love of ballroom dancing with you. My journey with dance began after a career change, and it quickly became a true passion. I find immense joy in helping others discover the elegance and excitement of ballroom.
 

My background is a bit unique. I was born in Downpatrick, Northern Ireland, and grew up in Tower Hamlets before moving to Woodford Green, Essex. I'm also on the autism spectrum, diagnosed at a young age, which does not effect my daily life This simply means I experience the world a little differently, but it doesn't affect my ability to teach or connect with my students. My attention to detail and structured approach often enhance my teaching style.
 

Like many, my initial inspiration came from the classic film Dirty Dancing and the wonderful books of Peggy Spencer, whose passion for dance was truly infectious. I also enjoy the energy of electronic dance music, particularly artists like Bob Sinclair and the Ministry of Sound – though my dance classes focus on the timeless beauty of ballroom and Latin styles!

I'm dedicated to providing a supportive and enjoyable learning experience for all my students. Whether you're taking your first steps or looking to refine your technique, I'm here to guide you on your dance journey.
