Tracey Barnes runs Smartdanceworks, a prominent dance school in Chesterfield. Specialising in a variety of dance styles, Tracey provides high-quality tuition and organises social events that cater to enthusiasts of all skill levels. However, due to the ongoing coronavirus situation, all classes, events, and freestyles are currently suspended.
Every Monday, Smartdanceworks hosts West Coast Swing classes in Dronfield. These sessions are known for their approachable and inclusive atmosphere, welcoming dancers ranging from beginners to advanced levels. Whether participants are solo, with a partner, or in a group, no prior dance experience is necessary to join.
West Coast Swing can be adapted to various music genres like R&B, Pop, Jazz, Blues, Country & Western, and Hip hop, making it a versatile style suitable for many occasions.
In addition to regular classes, Tracey offers bespoke choreography for wedding dances, helping couples create memorable first dances tailored to their chosen music, style, and ability. Lessons can take place at the couple’s home or a location of their choice. Other wedding-related services include bridal flash mobs, hen parties, ceremony entrance dances, and dance sessions to engage wedding guests.
For couples preferring to learn at their own pace, Smartdanceworks offers an instructional DVD, “Wedding Day Dance.” This DVD provides easy-to-follow, modern jive routines for a confident first dance, available for £19.99 plus P&P.
As a qualified GPDIA instructor, Tracey specialises in West Coast Swing, Smooth Modern Jive, Musicality, and Styling, ensuring top-notch guidance for all her students. Although classes and events are temporarily closed, Smartdanceworks eagerly anticipates reopening to continue sharing the joy of dance with the community.
