York
My name is Joel Chapman. I am a dance instructor from York, England. I became
inspired by Latin and Ballroom dancing at the age of 15 after watching the hit
ballroom stage show 'Burn the Floor'. My first few years were spent training in
Leeds, where I achieved distinctions in all of my exams and won the national UKA
championships. As I became keener to grow and develop as a dancer, I began
training at Semley Studios in London, considered to be the most prestigious
Latin and Ballroom training centre in the world. Here, I was coached by some of
the biggest names in the business, including Strictly come Dancing's Matt and
Nicole Cutler. I have also been coached by World Ballroom Champions Kyle Taylor
and Scott Draper. Whilst attaining successes in the competitive world, including
the UK Quarter Finals and winning the Ballroom category at the Britain's Best
Dancer awards, I wanted to invest my energies into teaching. After many years of
hard work and determination, I am the go-to Latin and Ballroom teacher in York.
Whether you are a couple training for competitions or a retired couple looking
for social dance lessons, I can offer you classes to suit your needs. I also do
group classes in many different styles, offering students the opportunity to
perform regularly.
