    dance4passion - Edinburgh

    ★★★★★ 5 (35 Reviews) Well rated Open

    “I was very lucky to have been given Freddie as my partner and teacher for a Strictly-style charity event, where I had to learn a cha cha that was to be performed in front of 150 people, in a relatively short space of time. Freddie's passion for dance, skill in teaching, confidence in my ability and calm demeanour made the whole experience an amazing one for me. I therefore have no hesitation in recommending Freddie and Nuno's dance4passion classes.”

    ★★★★★ 4.8 (28 Reviews) Well rated Closed

    “My daughter has been swimming with turtle tots since she was 4 months old. She's now 4 and a half. She has great confidence in the water and that's down to what she's been taught by the fabulous teachers she's swam with. She's had 4 different teachers and each one has been amazing. She loves all the songs they sing and how fun they make the lessons! The badges at the end of each term are a nice touch too! Turtle tot lessons are worth every single penny. Highly recommend them.”

    “Couldn't recommend Stewart Glen 'Leather Master Craftsman Edinburgh' highly enough. We have a couple of aniline leather sofas that were around 15 years old & had never been fed! (Didn't even know it was a thing!) I'd been looking for new sofa for ages but had not seen anything I really liked, came across Stewart's website & decided to give it a go! We're delighted with the sofa's which look amazing. They've been totally up cycled and I haven't had to send anything to landfill! Much better to restore than renew!!”

    ★★★★★ 5 (2 Reviews) Open

    “I only saw this dance group at the start of their session, doing their warmup exercises, but I got some photos and was really impressed with their vibe -- as well as the dance itself. What makes groups like this appealing is how friendly they are and this lot seemed particularly welcoming. If I was living in Edinburgh I'd love to join them and learn this ancient dance from the Punjab. Although they teach Indian dance they all seem to be Scottish university students. I'm not sure if any of them are actually from India. I got their permission to take their photos and post them here, and I could feel a happy vibe when doing so. The building itself is ancient, well restored and impressive. Check out their website as they have other classes during the week. This review only refers to their Sunday class. Good luck and happy dancing.”
