Dance is more than learning steps — it’s about reconnecting with the joy of movement, feeling comfortable in your body, and expressing yourself naturally.

My sessions are designed to help you move with ease, confidence, and rhythm in a relaxed and supportive space. Whether you’re completely new to dance or returning after time away, each session gently guides you into enjoying movement in a way that feels natural and pressure-free.

Why  DANCE with Celestina

With over 19 years of experience as a professional dancer and dance teacher, I’ve performed internationally and trained with renowned choreographers including Anthony Van Laast, Irineu Nogueira, and Arlene Phillips. My background spans many styles, from Latin and ballroom to contemporary and hip hop, but at the heart of my work is helping people rediscover the freedom and joy of moving.

Every lesson is tailored to you. Some people come to build confidence dancing socially, some want to reconnect with movement, and others simply want to experience the joy of dancing again.


My approach creates a calm, welcoming environment where you can explore movement at your own pace and grow in confidence week by week. 

Learn to Dance with Celestina

Many people come to these sessions because they've always loved dance but never had the opportunity to explore it in a way that truly feels right for them.

Whether you're preparing for a bespoke wedding dance, dancing towards a special occasion, returning to movement after years away, or simply wanting to reconnect with music and your body, these sessions are created around you.

You'll be welcomed into a relaxed, supportive space where movement becomes something to enjoy rather than something to get right. Together, we'll explore rhythm, expression and musicality at a pace that feels natural, allowing you to move with greater ease and freedom while discovering your own unique style.

Every session is thoughtfully tailored to your goals, your experience and the way your body naturally wants to move.

Depending on your interests, sessions may draw inspiration from a range of styles, including:

  • Bespoke Wedding Dance
  • African & Afrobeats rhythms
  • Hip-hop
  • Contemporary movement
  • Salsa & Latin rhythms
  • Commercial dance
  • Ballroom & Jive
  • Freestyle movement and creative expression

Whether you're looking to create a memorable first dance, rediscover the joy of movement, or simply enjoy dancing for yourself, each session is designed to leave you feeling more connected, expressive and inspired.

“Celestina is such a great dance teacher. Her lessons are fun and she is so patient! She takes time to find out exactly what you want from the session and adapts each lesson as needed. I looked forward to my lessons and am carrying on with some more. As well as improving my dancing it’s a great way to exercise, stretch and gain confidence on the dance floor. I would highly recommend dancing with Celestina. She’s also a fantastic dancer and a lovely person!!”

"Thank you so much Celestina. We have thoroughly enjoyed our dancing tuition with you. Your energy and enthusiasm are amazing and you have encouraged us to work outside our comfort zones. You have listened to us and been flexible in your approach to our ability. Each week we have improved and with your gentle persuasion we have completed a routine and perhaps more importantly been given the confidence to continue once our sessions are complete".

Thank you again.

"It has been an amazing journey with Celestina, I got in touch as never danced and zombies are better than me and with my wedding drawing near needed help. Celestina has been amazing and learnt the songs and words, did our choreography and tailored to our ability. With wedding just around the corner and last couple of lessons left we are confident and excited for our First dance. We have loved the enthusiasm and skills Celestina has and was always on time. Can't thank her enough."xx

"We both had an amazing time with Celestina. I felt we set her quite a challenge, but she wouldn’t accept our limitations and made each session a joy. We both feel more confident and will definitely be displaying our new found skills on a dance floor some time soon. Thanks, Celestina for a truly brilliant experience loaded with professionalism on your part, but you also managed to make every session fun."

Private 1-to-1 Dance Sessions

Private 1-to-1 sessions offer the opportunity to deepen your relationship with movement, rhythm and expression in your own body. Whether you're preparing for a bespoke wedding dance, returning to movement, or simply looking to explore dance in a way that feels right for you, every session is thoughtfully shaped around your individual journey.

Most people choose to work with me over a series of sessions, allowing time to naturally develop, explore and enjoy the process. Bespoke session experiences are available in 4, 6 or 8-session packages, with the option to continue your dance journey beyond this if you wish.

In-person sessions take place across the UK. Session fees include my teaching time, with studio hire arranged separately and varying depending on location.

For those who prefer to move from home, or who live elsewhere in the world, private sessions are also available online via Zoom, offering the same personalised guidance without the need to travel.
