What our dancers say about Slowfeet Studio:

I am super happy that I discovered Slowfeet Studio. Deirdre and Joost know how to inspire, correct and motivate people. In addition to the Slow Bal course, I also had a private lesson. Highly recommended!
Kasia Trochowska
A gem of a dance school! I am really happy with Slowfeet Studio because of the informal, welcoming and open atmosphere in learning your first dance steps. Most of the school's charm is due to Deirdre's strong passion for Slow Bal. And on top of that the music is great!
Sofia Pagliarin
Slow Bal is really fun to do. I never knew I would enjoy this kind of slow jazz so much! Sure, it's romantic and nostalgic, but it can also be dramatic and intense.
Arnold Zwanenburg
Deirdre and Luciën teach with a lot of humor and there is a nice atmosphere in the lessons. By rotating regularly in class, you learn to dance with everyone, which is a good preparation for the parties.
Iris Schouwenburg
As someone without any dance experience and without a dance partner, I found it exciting to take lessons. All of this turned out to be unnecessary. The level of the beginners group is easy to do and step by step (literally and figuratively 😉) the dance teachers help you master the dance. The lessons are fun and the atmosphere is good among the participants. In love with the dance by now and trying to get my friends to do the same 😊.
Grace Felix
Nice dance school, where I enjoyed learning to dance in the typical slow jazz style. Now I'm working on refining it. What I like, is that the classes are quite open. They explain it clearly and competently. During the lesson there is room for questions and they come by if something is not clear.
