Taking the Lead

"The ideal place to learn your first steps in style - a million miles from the tea dances and Blackpool pier..." GQ.COM

Conrad Murray is the co-owner of the studio and husband to Karen Hardy. In addition to being a former amateur dance champion, he works as an IT Contractor in London and is a veteran of the Surrey Rugby League. He understands the benefits of dance ability for men:

"More often than not, occasions arise, be it a wedding, office party or corporate gala-ball where our dancing ability is tested. Having that ability to move around the dance floor with a good measure of confidence and skill is a great asset for guys to have."

No Experience Required
Choose a date and time to suit your schedule

Karen Hardy Studios makes sure learning to dance is not a painful experience for you. Private one-to-one lessons, your own personal plan and tracking your progress, ensure any goals you set will be reached. A licensed bar also comes in handy when you’re taking those first couple of lessons.

Men of all professions and backgrounds have found that they have an aspiration to dance. Here is a glimpse of those who have swapped their extra left foot for a right one:

The Cricketer

Legendary England and Surrey batsman Mark Ramprakash was partnered with Karen in the 2006 series of Strictly Come Dancing. The couple took the title with some blockbuster performances - you can take a look at them performing an electrifying salsa by clicking here.

The Boxer

Evander Holyfield, former World Heavyweight Boxing Champion and Olympian, appeared with Karen on BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing 'Champion of Champions' showdown, after making an appearance on ABC's 'Dancing With The Stars' in the US.

The Entertainer

When TV presenter and comedian Justin Lee Collins set himself the task of entering a dance competition in the US for his TV show 'Justin Lee Collins Is...', he decided to take lessons with us in preparation. You can take a look at Justin's final performance on the Sky1 show by clicking here.

Visiting the Studio
Drop in for a complimentary dance lesson

The easiest way to check out the Studio is to come down for a complimentary taster session. This involves a 25 minute private lesson for you or your partner and the chance to talk through your dancing goals. We’re open until 9pm on Mondays, 10pm Tuesday through Friday and 7pm on Saturdays, so there’s plenty of space to book in a time around your schedule.
