About Us


Hotsteps School of Dance was founded in 1998 by Jacqui, Tony and Nikki Maslin. Together they boast over 85 years dancing experience both in the medallist field and also as open 10 dance competitors. Each became qualified teachers with the IDTA and turned professional to set up Hotsteps, with the aim of promoting Ballroom and Latin American dancing within a friendly club environment. The school continues to go from strength to strength, with regular competition finalists and five formation teams.

Hotsteps teaches from the IDTA syllabus and hosts yearly medal examinations. The school also competes in medallist competitions and team matches throughout the country. There is a busy social calender at Hotsteps with monthly dances and a range of fundraising events in support of the Hotsteps Formation Teams.

Hotsteps offers classes for all ages and abilities - see our class timetable for details. We also offer private lessons-one to one tuition for quick results or in preparation for that special occasion. Pre-wedding dance packages are also available.
