Class Structure

Warm-Up & Ankles
Warm the calves, ankles and core properly first — heels demand stable joints before any strutting begins.
The Walk
Learn the heels walk itself: hip-led, controlled and grounded, so the shoe works with you instead of against you.
Floor & Levels
Add slow floor transitions and level changes, the moves that make heels choreography feel powerful rather than fragile.
Choreography
Learn a sultry commercial-heels routine to a slow, heavy track, built up count by count.
Run & Photos
Perform the routine together, grab a few photos if you fancy, then cool the legs and feet down.
About Heels Classes in Newport
Heels is about control and confidence more than height — a grounded, hip-led style danced in a block heel that borrows from commercial, jazz and a good dose of attitude. Our Newport classes start with the walk and the ankle strength that make everything else safe, so nervous first-timers can build up sensibly. Bring low block heels to begin, or dance in trainers until you find your feet.
Newport has an active grassroots dance culture. The city is respected across Wales for its long-standing community dance work with young people, and there is real local demand for confident, expressive commercial styles. Ours is the adult end of that: an over-17 evening class for people who want the strut and the self-assurance, whether they are heading out on Friars Walk afterwards or simply doing it for themselves.
Every class is a flat £8 drop-in, one session at a time, with no block to buy and no contract to sign, so a first week costs you a single eight pounds and nothing else. Tell us your level on the form and we will point you at the next heels session in central Newport.

Your Heels Journey
From first class to confident dancer — here is how it usually goes.
Your First Class
Ankles First
Your first session prioritises ankle strength and the walk, so heels feel stable rather than scary from the off.
Trainers Are Fine
Beginners often start in trainers and move into low block heels once the walk feels secure.
Finding the Strut
Hip-Led Movement
Within a few weeks the hip-led walk clicks and the shoe starts working with you instead of against you.
Levels & Floor
Slow floor transitions and level changes add the power that makes heels look strong, not shaky.
Dancing a Routine
Sultry Choreography
Short phrases build into a full commercial-heels routine set to a slow, heavy track.
Performing Together
Running the routine as a group is where the confidence really lands and sticks.
Owning It
Confidence That Sticks
The self-assurance you build in heels has a habit of carrying well beyond the studio.
Nights Out & Hens
Many turn a class into a night out on Friars Walk or a hen celebration, which we are glad to help set up.
Heels in Newport FAQ
Everything you need to know before your first class.
Do I need experience or a certain fitness level? +
Neither. Newport heels classes begin with the walk and ankle strength, building safely from zero. Beginners and returners share the room, and everything scales to how you feel on the day.
What heels should I bring, and can I use trainers? +
Start in low block heels rather than stilettos — a chunky heel is far more stable. Trainers are absolutely fine while you learn the walk, and plenty of people stay in them for the first few weeks.
Is heels safe for my ankles and knees? +
That is exactly why every class opens with a proper warm-up for the calves, ankles and core. We drill the walk and control before any fast moves, so the shoe supports you rather than working against you.
How much does a class cost? +
A flat £8 per session, drop-in. There is no block to buy and no contract, so a first class costs a single eight pounds with nothing else to pay.
Where in Newport are heels classes held? +
In central Newport, around the Commercial Street and Friars Walk area, with the studio confirmed on booking. Newport has a strong grassroots dance culture, and this is the adult end of it.
How do I get there and park? +
Newport railway station on the South Wales Main Line is a short walk from the centre, with parking near Friars Walk. There is no tram or metro in the city, so it is train, bus or car — and Rodney Parade matchdays can fill nearby spaces.
What ages are the classes for? +
Adults from about 17 to 75. It is a mixed-ability, over-17 room, and confidence rather than youth is what the class is really building.
Can I just drop in once? +
Yes — one class, £8, no commitment. Come and try the walk for a week and decide from there; there is no block booking and nothing to cancel.
Can I book heels for a hen or a group? +
Definitely. Heels sessions make a popular hen or group activity in Newport, often before a night out on Friars Walk. Add your numbers to the form and we will help organise it.
