Clayhanger dance classes including latin dance, slimdance, salsa, salsacise and Kids Latin Street Hip Hop

Hi, I`m Jenny and I run the SlimDance franchise in the Walsall area.

My passion for dance began at the age of three when my Mom took me to our local dance school. I started with Ballet lessons on a Saturday morning, which soon progressed to taking Ballet, Tap and Modern dance classes. At the age of five I started competing in festivals around the country and by the time I was eleven I won the West Midlands Tap Championship for two consecutive years.

By the age of fifteen I moved from competing into teaching, beginning with the baby Ballet class that I was part of as a young child. Watching the children develop week on week was a great feeling and I knew then I wanted a career around working with others to achieve their dance related targets.

Unfortunately as time progressed I fell into a full time office role which took me away from my original goal, until recently when my son was born in August 2010. Having just had a baby, I was keen to get back into shape as soon as possible and found a love for Salsa dancing. I loved the music, I loved the sexy moves and most of all I loved how I had started to get back to my normal weight. Thats when I realised how much I wanted to dance again and came across an opportunity to own a franchise in SlimDance, teaching people of all ages and abilities to build self-esteem, relieve stress and tension, and enjoy life with lots of fun and laughter. It was perfect!

I am now very excited to be bringing SlimDance to the Walsall Region and can`t wait to help you achieve your goals whilst having FUN!!. Remember - absolutely anyone can join in, it really doesn`t matter whether you think you have two left feet or won`t be able to remember the steps, the SlimDance courses are suitable for all. The combination of a great night out and the excitement of learning to dance will see the pounds falling off as you dance your way into new clothes!

So dump the diet and join the fun.

See you soon

Hi, I'm Bronwen and I joined latin solo as I used to really enjoy latin american dancing when I was younger. I really am enjoying the class wih Jenny. I am currently doing Bronze level and I find my instructor very approachable and clear in the classes. I am looking forward to Silver and Gold and then maybe Slim Dance if it is running once Latin Solo finishes. Thank you! It's much better than a session at the gym!

Latin solo is thoroughly enjoyable and Jenny makes learning it so easy. I look forward to each Monday and have that dancing has spurred me on to do even more exercise. Thanks Jenn you are brill. Carole - Latin solo.

Hi my name is Stella and I attend both the latin solo and slimdance classes and I love both! The classes are fun and energetic and I feel that we progress in both classes every week. Aerobics isn`t my thing but dancing is and this is perfect! Love it and would recommend to everyone!

The latin solo course is really enjoyable and well instructed. I would recommend to all. Thanks Lesley

I joined SlimDance for a bit of fun and keep fit and I have done both! I have enrolled for silver course and it`s really enjoyable. Jenny is a great teacher, pleasant and so skillful. I look forward to the class each Monday and just wish I could do more. Thanks Emmanuelle.

A really enjoyable class. It`s very friendly and well instructed. I am thoroughly enjoying it. Strictly here I come! Maxine.

I attend both of Jenny`s class, latin solo and SlimDance. I love them both. Jenny is a fabulous instructor and dancer. I have learnt alot from her so far and hope to learn much more. Thanks Jenny - Lauren.

Hi I am 52 years of age and attend both the latin solo and SlimDance classes with Jenny. I thoroughly enjoy both. They are great fun and I have seriously toned my legs and arms. Come on your own or with a friend it`s a really great night.

I really enjoy this class. The teaching is at a pace that`s easy to pick up. The music is also good. Jenny makes it fun! Vicky - Latin solo course.

Great fun and easy way to keep fit. I have lost half a stone in first 4 weeks which felt like no effort as it was so enjoyable unlike the gym. Will certainly continue for as long as the class goes on. Brilliant music and learning plenty of moves. Thanks, Sue.

A completely different style of exercise which is so much fun you don`t realise how hard you are working. So many different muscles being used that you can`t fail to shape up. Each session is fun and exciting, the time passes so quickly and the style of dance and music leaves you feeling energised and upbeat. I would recommend this to all ages and abilities as it can be tailored to meet your individual needs. Great social way to stay in shape, get fit and have fun. Tracy - Latin solo and SlimDance classes.

Hi my name is Sue and I joined the latin solo course 4 weeks ago. It`s a brilliant form of exercising without realising you are actually doing something good for you. So much variety in the moves and fabulous music plus a brilliant teacher, makes an hour feel like 5 minutes. Well Done Jenny a fantastic class can`t sing your praises enough.

Excellent class, really enjoyed it. Very good fun, nice people with a relaxed atmosphere. Thanks to Jen, wonderful teacher. Julie from latin solo bronze.

The Instructor is really great, I don`t think I`ll ever win a medal but it`s the most fun I`ve had in years!
