Their Story
At Social Dance Academy Belfast, they are dance mad! They love it!
Phil started dancing by learning Salsa and he got addicted to dance, moving on to bachata and kizomba, as well as other styles such as zouk. He was obsessed with perfecting the art of movement, with a sharp technical mind and a great enthusiasm for helping others around him grow as dancers.
Initially, Phil started as a student on the dance scene, and got into teaching when other students asked for lessons. His passion for dance is infectious and you can clearly see that in his classes.
Meredith is originally from Seattle and has more than a decade of experience on the high calibre dance scene in the big city. She started training in Ballet and you can see this, with the style, grace and elegance she brings to her dancing. Her ladies styling is well sought after and something the Belfast dance scene is craving.
They hope to see you join the classes and they want to help grow the dance scene in Belfast, and bring in some fresh dancers, so that everyone can experience, benefit and enjoy themselves through the gift of dance.

If you want a break from the routine and to try something new for yourself, then the Academy is the place for you. They have a passion for dance. They build trust, empathy and they motivate you to push yourself, not just in dancing, but every area of life as well. They help you to overcome your weaknesses and embrace who you are as a dancer and also as a person.

I was absolute beginner, I wasn't even sure I would be able to dance at all!!! The Academy helped me to achieve that finally I was able to dance and actually have fun. There are always great tips for lead techniques, which help me improve really quickly.
