All our 12 Week Courses come with a Money Back Guarantee - if you find the first class isn't for you, just tell us within 48 hours and we'll refund the balance of your course. For full details see our FAQs.
The Money Back Guarantee applies to all our 12 week courses only.

Just email us with your booking details within 48 hours of the class and we'll refund you the balance of your payment. For example, if your class starts at 7.30pm on Wednesday you need to notify us by 7.30pm on Friday to get a refund (less the payment for the one class) You don't need to give a reason, but we always appreciate the feedback you give us! If you have started your class later than the term start date the Money Back Guarantee applies to your first class only. Your payment will be refunded directly to the card or account with which you paid and you'll be notified by email of your refund. NB - The Money Back Guarantee does not apply if you fail to attend the course at all and only applies to the first class you booked. For all other cancellations, we regret that we cannot offer a refund, but we will endeavour to transfer your booking to credits if you cancel before the start of your course. We cannot transfer to credits for courses that have already started.

This is a fun, funky street dance class that is guaranteed to get your energy pumping, burn calories and teach you MTV style moves to the latest urban sounds. Street Dance is rooted in a number of urban dance styles - think Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, Rihanna or PussyCat Dolls. Our blend of street dance mixes hip hop and commercial dance to get you looking great on the dancefloor!
Our beginners courses are a good introduction to dance, and are also a great way to improve if youre relatively new to dance or dont feel ready to move on to a faster class. All the classes in each course are different, so you can take more than one beginners course and have a completely unique experience each time! We also run General Level classes that have the same level moves, taught faster and with longer routines.
Your instructor will be a fully trained and qualified professional dancer who has extensive performance and teaching experience. Each of our instructors will teach their own unique dance styles in their class, so content will vary, but each of the classes offer an exciting and new way to study dance, for fun or for something more!
Our classes are full of people just like you wanting to learn to dance, so dont worry if you have two left feet, you can come and join in the fun and give it a go! Book yourself in today to secure your place!
Crazy for Gaga or want to kick it to the sounds of Ke$ha? Dance is moving on and now you're seeing more sexy moves, Madonna inspired routines and sassy music videos than ever before. If you want to learn this style of commercial dance, then Dance Fuze is for you! It's all the best bits from our high energy Urban Groovz classes (street dance) with added pazazz! More feminine than Urban Groovz but still easy to pick up and a whole lot of fun, this class is suitable for total beginners who've never danced before. Leotards and eighties leggings not required, sense of humour recommended!

Creation started dance classes in London in 2006 and to date we have taught over 5000 adult beginners to dance. We now run dance classes in London, Oxford and Hong Kong and are the best value dance class provider in London. If you've tried Pineapple, but found it too young, or the classes too hard, we are for you!
WHY IS CREATION DANCE DIFFERENT?
We have pioneered the Urban Groovz street dance syllabus and method of teaching street dance and the DanceFuze classes. It breaks down easy moves that beginners can learn even if they've never danced before. Unlike other hip hop classes, our focus is on getting our clients to the point where they can coordinate, learn choreography and look great as soon as possible. This means our classes aren't as technical as many other dance class providers, but they WILL teach you how to dance street dance/ hip hop in a fun, friendly and easy to learn atmosphere.
What our clients say (all adult beginner dancers!):
"I love the classes! I particularly like the laid-back atmosphere, i.e. you don't feel totally stupid if you get something wrong. I really like the moves and being able to get familar with them, while adding a few new things each time" - E Denton
"I've been to more than 10 dance classes of street dance and this one is the best by far! Before I've never been able to remember the steps, but with Creation they made is so easy and fun. I enjoyed every minute of it" - Pauline K
I really enjoyed this course. The music was great, the moves were brilliant and well taught and it was fun too! I will DEFINITELY go another of these courses" - Stephanie Adhems
"Our teacher for this course was really excellent, very talented,
engaging and friendly. She kept motivation within the group strong and
was always smiling. Many Thanks to her" - Deborah Bayliss
"I thoroughly enjoyed the dance classes.I must
give due credit for the success of this course to the dance teacher. Emma
was extremely friendly She was patient,
maintained a good pace for all and most of all managed to make grueling
dance routines extremely enjoyable. I felt as though I accomplished all that
I had hoped to and I would certainly both recommend this course as well as
pursue it again myself in the future." - A V Shankardass
"I have really enjoyed taking the course, and the teacher is fantastic. She makes the routines interesting and challenging, but takes time to help us all get it right. I fully intend to sign up for another one!" - Alison Rance
"All I can say is what an excellent dance class, I thoroughly enjoyed my course, our dance teacher was very professional, friendly and patient. A job well done, thank you." - Laura Kavla

Frequently Asked Questions:
1)I'm a complete beginner!!! Will I be able to do the course?
Our beginners courses are designed for those who have never danced before, or who are returning to dance and looking for a fun way to keep fit. The instructors will slowly take you through the basic steps and techniques and by the end of the course you will be amazed at how far you have come! Don't worry if you have two left feet, most people on our beginners courses have no previous experience. Confident beginners may also take our General level courses which cater for all levels up to General level.
2) How do I join a class?
Our classes are split into 3 terms per year:
Autumn
Spring
Summer
Simply pick the venue you wish to attend and you can sign up for the entire term online by adding the course to your basket and checking out. Alternatively you can call us to book on 0870 140 3234 or email bookings_creationdance.co.uk with your preferred course details. You will have 12 classes included in your session.

Our adult courses are open to everyone over the age of 18. We have a mix of guys and girls on the courses, ranging from 18-80 but as a rough guide the majority of people fall into the 20-40 age range and the classes are 90% female.
4) What should I wear?
You should wear loose comfortable clothing. A t-shirt, tracksuit trousers and a pair of trainers is ideal. We also recommend you bring a bottle of water to the class to refresh yourself.

6) Can I pay per class or do I have to buy a course?
All our classes run in blocks of 12 weeks and need to be purchased as a term of classes. If you are starting classes later than the start date, the remaining classes for that term should be paid for in full. We offer a MONEY BACK GUARANTEEso you don't have to worry about the suitability of your class. Remember that payment equals commitment so you'll benefit from the incentive to get to class and get moving every week!
