My ‘beginner’ Ballroom and Latin American Dance lessons Cork will show you easy to follow steps in a variety of social dances starting with the Social Foxtrot.
Each week we revise the previous week’s steps, and, over time, you learn dances like the Social Quickstep, Slow and Old Time Waltz, and Jive. That way, you can go out after each lesson and practice the basic steps straight away, and enjoy that great confidence-boost.
My classes are ideal for you if you want to learn basic figures for your first Wedding dance, a social dance function or for regular social dancing. The classes feature many Ballroom, Latin American and party dances in a beginner course, and continuation courses are also available.
Testimonials
I teach people of all ages, fitness and ability. My mission is to get people on the dance floor. My hope is that marriages will be enhanced and singles will make a multitude of new friends. Everybody with any kind of an ear for music can dance, it might just take a little practice – that’s my firm belief. I have adapted a way that brings unconfident people to dance for the first time in their lives because of my patient manner and ability to make dancing look easy
But don’t just take my word for it! ! Hear what some of our wedding couples had to say…
It’s hard to know where to start but let’s just say my wife and I definitely fall into the category of two left feet! The thought of dancing without a few pints was intimidating to say the least.
When you speak with Derek first it’s really straight forward, these are the packages I offer, which one would you like to proceed with, and have you thought of a first dance song. When you first meet he has a routine ready to go. He breaks it down into manageable sections and If you don’t like a piece, he changes it. He gives you sections to practice in between sessions so that when you come back for rounds two and three, you’re ready for the next piece. By the last day you are repeating the routine with ease, grace and confidence to make it second nature for the big day.
My wife and I had so much fun through the whole process and I honestly never thought I’d say that about dancing but it was all down to Derek and his amazing ability to teach and can do attitude. And for the record, we didn’t go for a slow song, we went all out with Shook Me all Night Long by ACDC. We would recommend Derek to everyone. Very professional, accommodating and he makes the whole process so much fun. Even if ye are nervous like we were, go for it, you won’t regret it

An incredible wedding dance instructor! He made our first dance unforgettable by creating a beautiful routine tailored just for us. His patience, encouragement, and expert guidance turned our nerves into confidence. Highly recommend to any couple preparing for their special day! 🙂
We contacted Derek a week before our wedding for help with our first dance and he couldn't have been more helpful. He organised a venue to teach us the routine at a time that suited us. Derek is an excellent teacher who broke down the dance routine into easy to learn sections. He also recorded it for us so that we could practice at home.
Our first dance was a fun part of our wedding day and after Derek's guidance, it went from something we had been nervous about to something we thoroughly enjoyed. We would highly recommend Derek to other couples looking for help with their first dance.

Derek is such an easy going tutor. We had 5 lessons with him for our wedding first dance. The lessons were so much fun and we both looked forward to our session each week. Derek met us at our wedding venue 2 weeks before the big day to practice in that space. we had no real dancing experience and nailed our first dance thanks to his guidance. Would highly recommend Derek if you are looking to learn a few moves or a choreography for a particular song, he made it feel easy and enjoyable. thank you derek.
Derek is brilliant. We decided about 3 weeks before the wedding that we wanted to learn a dance for our first dance and Derek wasn't phased in the slightest, he was very accommodating with lessons and super patient and we felt confident going on the dance floor for our first dance. Everyone remarked that the dance was brilliant so if you have any doubt on whether to do one I would recommend you do and I would recommend you get lessons from Derek!
We found Derek just by random on google we read all his reviews and each and every one of them were all top marks . We booked Derek for dancing lessons for our wedding and he taught us a superb dance routine which i will have for ever as memories , his teaching skills we’re absolutely phenomenal, towards the end we found one step in particular difficulty and we became honest and told him and he took it on board and thanked us for been honest and gave us a new step and it went down fantastic . Derek is just fantastic in what he does he was born to dance and he was born to teach dance , his dance lessons are 100% something I would recommend he truly is amazing and I can’t wait to do more lessons with him as a hobby . Thank you Derek for all you have done for us you really gave us a hobby we didn’t think we’d like and now we absolutely love ❤️
We had the pleasure of working with Derek for our wedding first dance. Derek is a talented instructor who made learning the dance enjoyable and stress free. He designed a perfect routine for us both. Our first dance was a highlight of our wedding, and we received many compliments. We highly recommend Dancing Derek to anyone looking for an exceptional dance teacher. Thank you, Derek!
