"Showoff Dance is for all people of all ages and all abilities"
My daughter has an acquired brain injury and has limited mobility. This has made no difference as she joins in where she can and really enjoys the class. Liam and the group are warm and welcoming and he embraces her attendance. Liam truly does believe Showoff Dance is for all people of all ages and all abilities. Before her brain injury my daughter loved music and dancing and now can once again enjoy it, lose weight and get fit in a fun environment. Showoff dance has demonstrated such a refreshing attitude, thanks Liam!

"My son has really loved Show off dance classes! He made some good friends and has learnt some dance skills. But most of all and importantly he's had great fun. Liam is fantastic at engaging with all the children and making them all feel equally special and worthy and in turn they enjoy his classes a lot. Definitely recommend these classes for all ages, (Including adults!)"

"You don't really see many mixed dance classes"
Being in the army and moving around, I thought this would be another club my wife and children would join and not stick with it, but how wrong was I? My children and wife go twice a week. I think the dance fitness is amazing. I have no problem in telling my friends about this, When away on exercise, and my wife is working someone will always come and collect my children, so they don’t miss out. You don't really see many mixed dance classes, and its great the way that Liam welcomes men & women into the class. One of my daughters is not a very active person, but she is one of the first in the house to be in the car waiting to go.

"Our daughter is painfully shy but after 2 failed attempts she's absolutely loving the Saturday Tikes class now. Liam and Bernie's patience is second to none and they make every child feel like one of the team! So important in helping children enjoy the class."

"I enrolled my daughter to help build her confidence and self esteem. Showoff dance has acheived both and much more. Mia loves attending classes, making new friends and learning new dances routines. In Mia's own words "she loves the dances, singing and drama."

"I could probably write an essay on how great ShowOff Dance Fitness is and why, but I will try and keep it short and sweet. My aim when starting the fitness class was to get fit as opposed to losing weight, after four weeks of classes though I noticed a change in muscle tone and body shape and a reduction of cellulite on my thighs and bum. And it has continued :) The classes are fun, you really don't feel like you are working out, although I am usually drenched in sweat by the end! When I look around during the class everyone else appears to be having fun too, and that is one of the main reasons I keep going. Thank you Liam."

"An absolutely awesome end of year show. Every year it gets better and better all the performers were incredible and the variety of performances kept the audience on their toes. Liam is an inspiration and makes all his classes so enjoyable with his unique humour. I only do the fitness classes at the moment and I love being part of the Showoff Dance family."

"My 2 year old loves these dance classes and being in the show. The enthusiasm, patience and skills that are shown on Saturday mornings to teach toddlers and pre-schoolers is impressive."
Rachel G
"I wish I had found and joined Showoff Dance sooner. Joining has changed my life. I have made some fantastic new friends, got fit and had great fun learning dance routines. I even surprised my self so much by what I can actually do. I thought I would not have the courage to take part in the end of year show, but I was wrong. I took part in last years show, it was amazing. I am so proud of myself and its all thanks to Liam pushing me to do my best and believing in me."

"Showoff Dance, the place that has made me a much better dancer that's for sure, built my confidence up loads, where I have met wonderful new people and felt so welcome right from day 1! This is all down to the lovely atmosphere and community that Liam has created at Showoff! I love going to all the classes. Anyone who is interested in dance should definitely come and give Showoff a go!"
Laura S
"Liam personally coached me and my husband for a waltz for our first dance. He choreographed a routine to our chosen piece of music and at very short notice took time out of his busy schedule to train us. The results were nothing short of outstanding. From 2 sessions (and some self practice) we had a wonderful first dance which wowed our guests and which went seamlessly. Liam was professional, committed and an excellent teacher. The first dance was something my husband had been dreading, but Liam gave us confidence and helped turn that moment into a joyful experience. More importantly, he helped ensure we had a lasting and beautiful memory of our first dance and hopefully more dancing together in the future. Thank you!"
Jeannie S
"I genuinely can't recommend Showoff Dance enough! Our daughter started attending the tiny tots class at 21 months old - she absolutely loves it and will ask to go dancing most mornings! Liam is incredible with the children - he is full of praise and makes each session full of enjoyment for them. Our daughter has developed in her confidence and independence and has found such enjoyment in dance it really is wonderful to watch. She will dance to Liam's choreography at home as well as making up her own routines (Bless her!) and has thoroughly enjoyed taking part in all the displays that Showoff Dance takes part in locally for fetes and festivals. If you are looking for something for your child to take part in outside of the usual playgroups etc, I really would suggest you give Showoff Dance a try"

Liam has been working with the Tidworth community and surrounding villages for the last 8 years introducing young and older people into various modes of dance. His vision is to foster an all inclusive dance project to integrate military and civilian people, from all walks of life and all different ages. He has successfully done this through his sheer hard work and determination to make his classes affordable, fun and interesting. Liam now has a dance company called ‘Showoff Dance’ and his reputation and popularity as a dance teacher has become widely known.
Liam is able to work with all abilities and ages and has excellent choreographic skills in combining all the different dance classes into one when asked to a community performance. This has happened on many occasions with performances in London, Essex, Salisbury and various charity and community events, quite often with very short notice.
Showoff Dance has worked closely with the Army Welfare Service (AWS) in delivering dance sessions for children, teenagers and Tidworth Mums through the AWS multisport and alternative sports sessions. Liam’s classes are diverse ranging from his youngest dancer who are under 1 years old, to his eldest dancers who is 75 years plus which are very popular.
Liam’s community dance vision has had a huge, positive impact on this community, raising self esteem, confidence and fitness levels as well as giving people the opportunity to learn many different dance routines. Liam has the determination, motivation, personality and drives to give this community many opportunities in dance.
