First Dance Studios moves into new home, located at Italia Conti

First Dance Studios, the long running and joyful dance community for adults, moves into new home in the heart of Woking, situated in the state-of-the-art Italia Conti studios.

First Dance Studios is excited to announce that, from Monday 20 February, we jump with joy into our new home, located at world renowned performing arts institution Italia Conti. Our wide range of adult dance classes will be available to more people in the Woking community, with the studio’s brand new location in Victoria Place, Woking Town Centre. This is an exciting new chapter for First Dance Studios and the Woking dance community. We are looking forward to welcoming dancers of all abilities into our dancing family.

Our studio has a nearly 20 year history, with family roots and sense of community taking centre stage. First Dance Studios is independently run by award winning Creative Director, Emma Brewer. Emma looks forward to continuing the dancing legacy of her grandmother, Jeanne Brewer, just a hop, skip and a jump away from where Jeanne taught dance to many Woking residents for nearly 50 years!


“Dance is a wonderful way to move and express your self and we are all very excited that our First Dance Studios family is getting bigger by having our classes right in the Woking Town Centre at the amazing Italia Conti Studios! We
invite everyone to come along and dance! "

Emma Brewer, Award Winning Creative Director, First Dance Studios

We welcome dancers of all abilities, with classes and workshops running to suit anyone from complete beginners to experienced dancers.

Our growing programme also offers fitness and wellness classes such as barre fitness, Zumba, bootcamp, stretch flow and choir. Special one off classes, dance workshops and fitness challenges are also run throughout the year.

From Monday 20 February, our evening and Saturday classes will spring into our brand new studio space at Italia Conti. For those looking for a chance to showcase their skills or simply grow their show performance confidence the state of the art facilities will also provide a perfect rehearsal space for group numbers.

All First Dance Studios dancers have the opportunity to join company rehearsals, where dancers learn impressive pieces of choreography for shows and group performances.

“Italia Conti is proud to have First Dance Studios and the Woking dance  community dance in our wonderful new facilities - we hope everyone enjoys their classes!”
Hayley Newton Jarvis, CEO, Italia Conti
