So what do people have to say...
I love coming to dance divas because of the fun and the exercise. I get bored very easily when it comes to exercise... but still want to keep coming and have not ever thought about boredom. Your sense of humour makes the classes good fun and light hearted. I look forward to Monday evenings and feel so much better for the workout. I am too busy having fun I don’t realise how hard you have worked us...lol. Really glad I found out about your courses.

I love the classes because we're getting fit at the same time as learning some dance moves as well as, and most importantly to me, having great fun at the same time.
You are a very warm and unintimidating person who allows everyone to go at their own pace and skill level but always makes everyone feel as though they are doing well, even though sometimes you must want to laugh out loud at what some of us look like.
My daughter and her friend attending last night's class, they are both 15 year old, and they both loved it so you have managed to find the right balance to keep most people happy.
I will definitely keep doing all the different courses.
Joanne Zsirai - Dance Diva Classes
The reason I love the Dance Divas is the mix of people attending. There is no pressure, everybody laughs at / with each other. There are no 'divas' !!! This is all bought about with your passion and enthusiasm which you have in abundance.
I would like to say thank you as at the moment my job is quite stressful. Bankers are not the most popular people at the moment, and I have 1 .5hrs of total ‘me’ time which results in a good night sleep every Tuesday.
Faith Douglas - Dance Diva Classes
The dance classes are so much fun and great way to exercise. The instructors are lovely and make it so the steps are easy and fun to do. It's a great place to meet other people and not take yourself too seriously!
Lauren Burton - Dance Diva Classes
Just wanted to say a MASSIVE Thank You for Sunday. Not only did Vicky come away beaming from the surprise, the whole group thoroughly enjoyed the day. It was an absolutely cracking afternoon and I will definitely recommend you to EVERYBODY!! Can you pass our thanks on to Claire too and we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did....
Faith Grogan - 70’s Disco Experience
I really enjoy the classes as they are more up to date than a lot you would get at a "traditional" dancing school. You make them fun, it doesn't matter what we can or can't do and at my age (56) I certainly don't feel out of place. For me it is also a bit of pure escapism and I can be a real "diva" for an hour and a half.
Pat Cammack – Dance Diva Classes
Monday's wouldn't be Monday's without Dance Diva classes. I thoroughly enjoy coming and meeting such fab people. The 6 week courses are fun and enjoyable whilst at the same time keeping you fit. I have been attending since the start at Beighton and over the past year have felt that my posture has improved and I feel so much fitter. Long may it continue!!!! The teacher helps of course!!!!!
See you Monday!
Claire Nundy - Dance Diva Classes
I took part in my first dance diva course last year, I did the pop one with my friend. I really enjoyed myself, met loads of lovely people and learnt some sort of rhythm!!!! I originally took part because I'm a member of Sheffield Theatres Young Associates and whilst I was strongest at acting and wasn't too bad at singing my dancing definitely needed work!! And a lot of the group members have had dance classes since they were young, so I wanted to do something to learn a bit of rhythm and get fit!
Annabel Brown - Dance Diva Classes
Love Dancemotion dance classes! been looking for something like this to do for years! Have a laugh at yourself, helps keep fit, whilst learning brill routines that have wanted to do for ages!! helps to de -stress after a hard day at work and meet new people. Not just boring work out classes that you get fed up with after week 1, cant wait for next weeks classes!
Jo Battle - Dance Diva Classes
Me and my sisters did the West End Diva's course and loved it. We had such a laugh as well as getting some exercise and have just seen the video on Facebook which makes it even more worthwhile, who knew you could learn a dance routine in six weeks!! We were disappointed when there was no class last Tuesday as we had a break for one week!
I tell everyone I know about the classes and would say if anyone is looking for something a bit different to aerobics and want to have a good laugh and tone up come to Dance Diva's. Its fun, friendly and Mel is a fab teacher!!
Keep up the good work.
Rebecca Fierman - Dance Diva Classes
Hi there. I love coming to class as it is very enjoyable. I get to socialise with new people and keep fit at the same time. The best thing is that im exercising without even realising it as I have so much fun.
Laura Wooton – Dance Diva Classes
The classes are really friendly and non intimidating. It is nice to go somewhere, learn a dance, get some exercise, meet people and most of all have really good fun and feel comfortable! The time fly's by! Mel is a great instructor too, teaches in a way that is easy to follow and understand.
Nicola West - Dance Diva Classes
I love Dance Divas because it is FUN, FANTASTIC and keeps me FIT!!!
The atmosphere is light and not like a stuffy dance class where you daren't put a foot wrong- you are allowed to laugh and enjoy yourself which is why I love to go. I have also learnt some new dance moves to use on the dance floor!!
Plus it makes my Mondays something to look forward to instead of dreading.
Thank You xxx
Nicola Pickering - Dance Diva Classes
I came to the class a bit reluctantly because I didn't know anyone else and I was unsure of going to a class on my own. I have never had dance lessons, but have always liked dancing and my two daughters have been nagging me for months to do something! I had also lost a lot of weight recently, but was still very unfit because I haven't exercised much in years.
After my first class it just seemed much more fun and social than going to a gym or doing aerobics.
Everyone seems very friendly.
I now have aching bones and muscles where I didn’t know I had any; but I am dancing and I love it.
I only wish I had found a class like this 20 years ago when I was more mobile.
Beyonce had better watch out!
Pam Perret - Dance Diva Classes
Thank you so so much for the DVD - I watched it last night and loved it! It is edited brilliantly and I love the stage setting of the title page!
Also a massive thank you from myself and the other hens for such a great session - it really was a hugely successful part of the weekend, and we all had such a laugh dancing together.
We will all wholeheartedly recommend you to all our friends - you are brilliant! I love the fact we have a lasting memory in the dvd, and every time we perform the routine!!!!
Wendy Denman - Hen Party to Candyman by Christina Aguilera April 2009
Wonderful! Fantastic! Amazing! Oh my god! How long have you been learning that? These were only a few of the comments, it was great...the DJ Matt couldn't believe it - he thought it was great cos it's the first time anybody has done anything like that for him. The videographer said he had never seen anything like it before in all the years he has been doing his job and he loved it. People were just raving on all night, thanks to you...once again Melanie many thanks for your time and effort you put in for us.
Mr & Mrs Sweeney - First Wedding Dance to ‘Hot Hot Hot’, August 2008
Thanks so much for that - we all had a great time - even those of us with absolutely no co-ordination. It really got the rest of the evening off to a great start and put everyone in a party mood!
Suzanne Laurie - Fame Workshop for Hen Night, Putney, August 2008
Hi Mel,
I just had to drop you a quick email to say 'Thank you so much' for the dance lesson. The routine went down an absolute treat and when we told our guests that we had only had a 2 hour lesson they were amazed (we did practise a few times during that week and the routine went very smoothly). Both John and I thought that this was the best money we spent on the wedding and well worth the time and travelling.
I will certainly be recommending you to anyone that asks.
Thanks once again,
Deb and John Gladish (aka ginger and fred)
Debbie & John Gladish - FIirst Wedding Danceto 'Jesse’ 2008
Thanks so much, we have all enjoyed ourselves so much, love the dance – we are all still buzzing! Will recommend you to everyone.
Sarah Thorneycroft - Pop Diva Experience, Nottingham Jan 2010
Mel, I wanted to say a massive thanks to you and Bettine for Saturday. God knows how you managed to get us all to do something that looked vaguely passable – you are a magician. I thought you were fantastic the way you struck the balance between letting us have a laugh and making sure we got it right. I’ve got my rough cut which looks so much better than I ever thought it would and I’m sure the proper one will look even better! You really are a star and I will recommend you to everyone and anyone I talk to about hen nights.
Many thanks again.
Ginny - Pop Diva Experience , London June 2009
Hi Melanie, I have been meaning to email you to say thanks so much for our Tiffany dance routine, everyone had a fab time!
Zoe Moss - 80s Experience, Leeds July 2009
Hi, Just a quick note to say thank you very much for Saturday. All the girls really enjoyed it, especially Kate, which is the main thing! We can't wait to watch the DVD! Thanks again.
