ENQUIRE

“I had been looking for somewhere for private dance lessons and social dancing for a while as I had many requests from members of my club. Humphreys ticked all the boxes. Great sized private room, lovely dance-floor, fantastic variety of dances and music. Add this to a fabulous floor-show and THE best instructor (thanks Jacky) and you have one fun-filled night out. I can’t recommend it enough.”

“I chose Humphreys because I wanted to improve the technical quality of my dancing. The standard of teaching is excellent and there is the opportunity to do medal exams if that is what you are interested in. But even if you just want to learn the basics Humphrey’s provides a fun, relaxed environment and the classes are just the right size.”

“I have recently commenced private lessons with Glen Tierney at Humphreys Dance Studio. I feel that Glen communicates extremely well with his students. He is able to diagnose faults and offer the exact remedy.
Glen has taught me movements and steps in a simple way, where in the past they all seemed so complex. I am confident of achieving my dancing goals with Glen’s excellent teaching and the beautiful facilities at Humphreys Dance Studio.”

“I started dancing at Humphreys Dance Studio late 2007 when my singing classes changed to the same evening as my scheduled dance classes at another studio. Glen made me feel very welcome and at home from the moment I walked in. He uses a relaxed and open teaching style which is both warm and professional at the same time. Glen takes time to explain steps and routines clearly and where appropriate adds flavour to the class with a well-timed tip on how to improve posture or technique. He also has a delightful sense of humour. There’s always a strong sense of feeling welcome and I feel part of a community of people who simply love to dance. I always leave Humphreys feeling relaxed and happy.

I started attending Jacky’s salsa classes last year. I had never salsa’d in my life so it was going to be something new and totally different for me. I am now attending the advanced course, which tells you somthing – I love it! It is a great way to unwind from a busy week plus it is really social ( I have met some really amazing and wonderful people through the class) Jacky is a wonderful teacher. She explains the movements and steps in a step by step manner which means that everyone can understand. The thing that keeps me going back – it is fun, relaxed and entertaining. Dancing needs to be fun so take it from me.. it is!

I first came to Humphreys Studio less than 2years ago to learn Salsa. I was new to WA and needed an excuse to meet people and get some exercise. Other than a few years of ballet as a child I had no previous dance experience and was more than a little hesitant to come and give it a go on my own. Luckily, Jacky talked me into it and now I practically live in the studio! In less than 2 years I have gone onto enrol in Modern, Latin, Argentine Tango and of course Salsa classes. I am enrolled in medal classes, performed in a Salsa floorshow and have just started competing in ballroom competitions! What can I say, it becomes addictive! More than that, I have met some amazing people. The teachers are fantastic and I have improved so much more than I would have thought possible. I recommend everybody interested in dancing to give Humprhey’s a go, you never know what you can go on to achieve!
