Adult Dance Classes in Colchester That Transform Your Confidence

Whether you're a complete beginner or returning to dance after years away, our adult dance classes in Colchester help you feel confident, energised, and supported from day one.

For the women

WHO WANT TO BE CONFIDENT

We give you some peace of mind and let you know that it’s really common for women to feel anxious, worried, or stressed before taking the leap to join our classes, and you’re more than likely thinking… 



“What if I embarrass myself?” or “What if I don’t pick up the routine?”, “I don’t know how to dance, or I haven’t danced for years, this terrifies me.” “I really want some me time, but this is way out of my comfort zone!

What Happens When You Start Dancing Again?

Now, imagine a space where that anxiety, fear and stress can just melt away and you start to notice you feel more and more confident in yourself – You start showing up in life standing taller, smiling, and feeling like you can take on things that used to scare you.

Not only has your confidence improved but you also notice personal progress and a great sense of social connection and support around you.

This is how the women describe their journey when they finally take the leap and join M-Brace U® classes.

It’s more than dance steps, it’s stepping towards your most confident self and embodying that version of you.

As well as the usual dance lessons, there are so many chances to do amazing projects - like photoshoots and dancing in rain rooms! So happy I made the jump to join!

Ann-Marie Osborne

Fantastic classes! Lovely atmosphere. Fun, welcoming and empowering. A great range of different dance styles to try plus the monthly yoga always starts my month off right. I have been attending M-Brace U classes for over 4 years. I attended workshops whenever I can and I also took part in the first M-Brace U dance shows last year "I am me" . I highly recommend to anyone of any ability to come along. Katie is such a supportive instructor. She has also given me some coaching outside of dance which I found so inspiring. Xx
