We select teachers who inspire

We select teachers who deliver inspiring workshops and perform dazzling cabarets. But just as important, teachers who love their dancing and get out on the social dance floor with all of you.


picture soon Keith & Sam (Modern Jive)
We’ve managed to get the brilliant Keith and Sam to teach for us at Rock Bottoms and we couldn't be happier. With Keith’s background as a World Champion and TV performer, paired with Sam’s smooth style, you know the workshops are going to be top quality. It’s rare to get teachers with this much experience who are also so down-to-earth. You are going to love them.

Teaching blues this year are the fabulous Rob Dix and Amy.
Honestly, they are two of the loveliest and most sought-after teachers on the UK Blues scene, and they just have a fantastic, connected style.
Rob and Amy are amazing at helping you find the feeling, musicality, and partner connection that makes Blues dancing so special. Get ready for some brilliant, accessible workshops that will elevate your dancing, no matter your level.

picture soon Jim & Audrey (West Coast Swing)

Jim & Audrey will be joining us over the weekend to teach West Coast Swing.
They run regular classes and workshops in the Bristol area and are active within the UK WCS scene.
They are known for their friendly, supportive teaching style, with a focus on clear technique, good connection and helping dancers feel relaxed and confident on the floor.


Andy Fleming Andy Fleming (Lindy Hop)

Andy Fleming has been in the Lindy Hop world for over 25 years — he co-founded Swing Dance Taunton and has taught at events as far afield as a Lindy Hop ski week in France, so he’s genuinely one of the people who helped build this scene.

His gift is making complicated things feel achievable. He unpicks moves clearly and keeps the music and feel central throughout, so it never tips into dry technique drilling.

His classes are warm and inclusive, and he’s just as good with people who are new to Lindy as he is with more experienced dancers. You’ll come away with something solid to take to the social floor.


picture soon Flavio (Tango)

The legendary Flavio is back at Rock Bottoms to teach some incredible Tango!
Flavio truly is a Brazilian dance sensation, with an amazing career history including winning a prize at the Curitiba Dance Festival and performing on the West End stage at the Shaftesbury Theatre. He’s also worked with the famous Tango Band, Otros Aires, and appeared in music videos.
Whether you're a complete beginner or just looking to add some dramatic flair to your dancing, you seriously can’t miss out on learning from Flavio this weekend!


picture soon Abes Cisse (Kizomba)

We are really pleased to welcome Abes Cisse to our weekend, where he will be teaching Kizomba.
Kizomba is a smooth, close partner dance danced to slow, flowing music with a steady beat.
Based in Exeter, Abes is a much-loved teacher known for his clear, friendly approach and his ability to put dancers at ease.
His classes focus on connection, musicality, and helping everyone feel comfortable and confident on the floor.
