Beth has been a member of the Taylor Hill School since she was 5, and although initially only part of the ballet school, she quickly extended her involvement to modern and ballroom. Her skill and enthusiasm has been carefully developed and she has won prizes and tributes in open competitions. She is now a member of the school dance display team.

The school has helped to improve Beth’s confidence and allowed her to form strong friendships with girls of all ages. It is now a focal point for much of her social life.

Young or old, beginner or Astaire, two left feet, or four, do you want to dance? Yvonne and Mandy will coach you in a friendly, patient and sociable way. Sadly you’ll be over qualified for “Strictly Come Dancing” but you can’t have everything.

It is an age-old reality that we all learn best if we are enjoying ourselves. Nothing could be more true of our three years of ballroom lessons with Yvonne and Mandy our tutors. They combine skill and knowledge with an ambiance that is challenging but great fun. We have grown in confidence thanks to their encouragement and now enjoy every opportunity to put a variety of dance steps into practice.

I met Yvonne Taylor Hill when her students were performing at a charity event, and having learned to dance many ago, I asked if we could join one of her classes.

My husband and I joined the Advanced Class which meets on a Thursday evening. Both Yvonne and Mandy make the lessons so enjoyable that we look forward to our weekly class. Since joining, we have greatly improved our technique, gained confidence and learned many different steps. The classes are fun and we have made many new friends. Dancing is an excellent way of keeping fit as it exercises both mind and body.
