5.00It was a really fun experience. The teacher explained the different dances very well and we learned a lot, I wish the activity had lasted longer and learn more steps. Highly recommended if you like music and dancing.

2.00We never made it, spent 45 minutes trying to locate the venue on Alabin only to eventually finding out (from Costa Coffe employee) that it was around the corner OFF Alabin. By the time we found it we were over 20 minutes late! You need to provide better directions for future purchasers. Would have loved to have done it...oh well..money down the pan.

5.00Very well made and frankly somewhat fancy dance costumes we got to try on while dancing. We also learned three types of folk dances from three different regions. (how much you get to dance in the lesson depends on the learning speed of the group) Overall it was a wonderful cultural experience. Teacher was very nice and very encouraging. Thank you!
