At My Time To Dance, It's All About You!
Specialist adult dance classes across Sussex
About Us
My Time To Dance is an exciting new dance school exclusively for adults, with classes across Sussex; locations include Haywards Heath, Lindfield, Plumpton, Barcombe and Lewes.
Our aim to create a welcoming, inclusive environment where adults can learn new skills, enjoy doing something for their own physical and mental wellbeing, meet like-minded people, and perhaps re-ignite their passion for dancing that they enjoyed as a child/young person.
Co-directors Lianne Carter and Nisa Carter collectively have over 40 years' dance teaching experience and hold professional dance teaching qualifications with the RAD and ISTD. All our staff bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to their dance classes, for example, Nisa, Jess and Alice are all Silver Swans Licensed Teachers. See our 'About Us' page for more information about each of our fantastic teachers.
Please use the sections below to find out more about the different styles of dance class we offer and the different levels. If you need help or advise when choosing a class, do not hesitate to reach out via email, message us on social media, or give us a call.
We look forward to meeting you in the dance studio soon!

What our customers say....
"My adult ballet class is the highlight of my week! The class is warm and welcoming, inclusive and utterly joyous. The choreography is beautiful to dance and there is also a lovely social aspect to the classes too. Having danced as a child, it’s so wonderful to find such a special dance school as an adult to continue my love of dance!
"I absolutely love my adult ballet and adult tap classes that are supportive, engaging and inclusive. It is great to keep dancing and learning new exercises and routines in a fun and encouraging environment with other like-minded people. The teachers are incredible and help to develop each student. I would 100% recommend!
“Getting back to ballet as an adult after many years has been an enjoyable experience thanks to a fabulous teacher and the friendly environment My Time To Dance fosters. I feel challenged but in a positive way and I look forward to Monday evenings!”
"I am so happy to have found your classes! I particularly enjoy Sarah’s 1.5 hour full class including pirouettes and grande allegro as well as her lovely teaching style and music."
"I can't believe how lucky I am to have found your adult tap classes. Lianne is the best teacher in the world, with amazing tutoring and support. This class has brightened up my week, with inspiration and joy! THANK YOU!"
"I love the fun routines we learn in adult tap to a range of music styles! The teacher helps us to push ourselves and progress our Tap, and I’ve really built my confidence, whilst learning exciting new steps and dances"

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Do you offer pay-as-you-go classes?
A. Unfortunately we are not able to offer pay-as-you-go options for our classes. Our teachers and venues all have to be booked in advance, and in order to ensure class viability, we require a termly commitment. However, we do offer the opportunity for people to attend suitable alternative classes within our timetable to make up for classes that they have missed. Make-up classes must be booked in advance so that attendance levels can be managed. If you are a shift worker (e.g. NHS or airlines) please get in touch to ask about special arrangements we can offer you.
Q. What should we wear to class?
We want you to be comfortable, so please just wear something you can easily dance in (e.g. sports leggings and a T-shirt). Please do not worry about buying ballet/tap shoes before you trial, just wear socks for a ballet trial and trainers or a low-heeled boot for tap trials. We can advise you on the best place to purchase ballet/tap shoes once you enrol.
Q. Can I join your classes as a complete beginner or if I haven't danced in a long time?
Absolutely! We have three different levels of adult ballet and tap classes; Beginners, Improver and Intermediate, as well as Silver Swans adult ballet classes for overt 50s or those who prefer a gentler pace. Our conditioning and jazz classes are general level and are suitable for beginners.
Please see the pages for each dance style for more information on the different levels of class, and do get in touch if you would like advice on which level would be most suitable for you.
