“Contemporary with Mike has been really beneficial to my wellbeing and getting to feel grounded. “I’ve enjoyed the challenge of moving my body with purpose in a safe space with others, free of judgement of ability and experience.

Butterfly Soup sessions have been meditative and calming. I particularly enjoy the expressing of our stories through body language, allowing us to build connection within ourselves and between other Queer humans.” – Mica, on Monday classes

“Amina is so lovely! You need lots of concentration for the class and you don’t need to get your “belly out” which has been the 1st question all my friends have asked me. It will help to keep my brain super active as time goes by. I really am loving the simplistic yet complex form of dance.” – [anonymous] on belly dancing

“Sara & Tara are so lovely. Very welcoming, patient & friendly. Love the salsa classes here. Highly recommended.” – Lisa Marie 

“Would highly recommend Ardour Academy – both for the venue and location, the way that it is managed, and the classes that they hold. I am currently doing the bellydance classes and absolutely loving them! It’s a class of all different ages and abilities, and it’s great fun with a friendly atmosphere. The teacher is really nice and explains and demonstrates everything really well. I would recommend these classes to anyone – whether you are a dancer or non-dancer. It’s also a great workout!” – Tracey, on belly dancing class 

“Ardour is a wonderful addition to the Cardiff arts community- they offer a great selection of classes to suit all abilities and interests, competitive prices and a warm, inviting space. What really makes them stand out however are how passionate Ardour’s owners are about creating a space that is welcoming and inclusive :)” – Jessie Brooks
