Professional service with a touch of humour. Every lesson is a pleasant experience. - Mariette Swart      



Neil is the perfect instructor for those who feel they have two left feet. He is a very encouraging, patient, and talented teacher, who knows how to bring out the best in all his students. Lesson time is filled with lots of fun and laughter, which will help you relax, unwind and conquer those two left feet. - Pat Zimmerman

What a fantastic dance school! Absolutely enjoy every lesson with my partner. Professional service and always a fun-filled experience. - Kim Jacobs

My husband and I had so much fun learning a choreographed first dance for our wedding with Carryn. She is a natural teacher who knew exactly what pace to go at, which was invaluable for us as we couldn't dance at all before! We were so impressed with the moves she came up with for our song, off the top of her head. Everyone was in awe on the day when we finally performed the dance and it felt so good to do something special. My husband was very hesitant when I first suggested the idea, but it was one of the best things that we did. We are continuing with dance classes because they are a fun way of getting in exercise and make for quality time together as a couple. Organization via Lorraine was easy, and lessons were fitted around or schedule with no problems. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Learn to Dance and Carryn - even if you think you can't dance, you will!

We also did father-daughter and mother-son dance lessons. Our parents loved it and we have beautiful memories that we can cherish for a lifetime. - Carlie Green

Carryn from Learn to Dance is an exceptionally talented and skillful dance instructor who humbly guided us to perform one of our most memorable dances.....our wedding dance!


With only 5 weeks to our wedding, we realized we needed the help of a professional to reduce the pressure of opening the dance floor while everyone is watching. From the get-go, Learn to Dance was quick to respond and provided comfort that we still have enough time to learn a beautiful routine. They were very thoughtful, informative, and even had a backup plan when load shedding would leave us in the dark during our training sessions.

Carryn made us feel so capable of dancing (and made us look good while doing it). She was thoroughly prepared for every session and her suggestions demonstrated her competence, experience, and professionalism. We loved her ideas and she gently guided us to perfect execution. She also reminded us to have fun while dancing, and we really enjoyed it!

Our dance routine was filled with lovely dips and twirls, the end result exceeded all expectations and was above and beyond what we could have hoped for!

Thank you Learn to Dance (Carryn and Lorraine) for your continuous communication, excellent service and for choreographing such a special, once-in-a-lifetime dance. It created a magical atmosphere and was truly perfect! - Hanrie Nortjie



We found Neil on Google and were very pleased with our find.Neil is a very friendly and capable young man that enjoys working with people. He is enthusiastic, a good communicator, and therefore is able to teach without difficulty. He quickly managed to reduce my "two left feet" to one and made us confident so that we after only four lessons are capable of doing the basic foxtrot on the dance floor. Thank you for new beginnings Neil. We highly recommend him. - Val Stegmann



Best instructor ever... Neil is patient, gentle, and has the most beautiful personality. I have had 3 Salsa classes so far with him and enjoyed every minute of it. I am doing one class per week, which is truly the highlight of my week. I'll recommend everyone to him. Trust me, you will enjoy dancing with him and feel that inner peace which we all need after a hectic day or week...- Oreal Schroeder

We decided to go to Neil to help us with our wedding first dance. We were so nervous to start our classes, but Neil was amazing. He was so patient, and made the classes so enjoyable - and our first dance was perfect! We can't wait to go back for more social dancing classes once the lockdown is over. - Chantal Nair



If you are an engaged couple dreading your first dance at your wedding, please take the time to visit Neil for some lessons. He made the effort of understanding exactly what we wanted and then taught us something elegant and simple and absolutely perfect for us...and in only 3 classes. My fiance was dreading it, but is now actually looking forward to it! - Elda Lerm

We went to Neil to learn to dance for our wedding- the poor guy had to teach two people, both with two left feet - an entire routine. Today was our last class and We do not look like idiots when dancing anymore! Thank you Neil! You made us feel relaxed during this nerve-wracking time! You are a lifesaver! -Rianda Coetzee



Neil's dance lessons were great! He is patient, works with you at your own pace, and of course, knows everything about dancing. He often shares bits of dancing wisdom and etiquette throughout the lessons which I found super helpful. Besides that, It's a very relaxing non-intimating environment and lots of fun. Highly recommended! - Jozua Smit

Wow!! We cannot recommend Neil enough. He has taught us our first dance for our wedding in such a short time. We are so excited to dance at our wedding, not being dancers, Neil has made us confident to dance in front of people. He was so willing and professional and nothing was ever too much. We highly recommend Neil! - Matthew and Simonne


We received the dance classes with Neil Coulson as a gift for our wedding. He is an amazing teacher and both my fiance and I thoroughly enjoyed our classes and would highly recommend him. - Peter Stubbs

The perfect choice if you’re looking to dance/learn how to dance in a non-intimidating environment.

Neil was extremely patient and encouraging throughout all of our lessons. By the end of our lessons, Neil had us feeling comfortable and confident in what will soon be our first dance at our wedding.

It was an awesome and fun experience. - Kyle Reeves

What an excellent dance school. Neil our instructor took me and my partner from being nervous for our first wedding dance to enjoying dancing as a hobby. Highly recommend 'Learn to Dance' for anyone, young and old. - Nolan Martin


We've been dancing at Neil’s studio since 2017 and have never looked back! A well-seasoned teacher with all the patience in the world. - Carna van Emmenes
