Learn to dance. Actually learn.
World-class Ballroom and Latin dance coaching for adults and kids, from complete beginners to professional dancers. Train in person in Dublin or join us online across Europe and the United States.
More than dance classes. A place to grow.
Dance With Nik is a Dublin-based Ballroom and Latin dance school created for people who want more than simply memorising choreography.
We teach you how to understand movement, develop technique, build confidence and see real improvement in the way you dance.
Whether you are stepping onto a dance floor for the first time, developing your skills, preparing to compete or simply looking for something that makes you feel good, we meet you exactly where you are.
World Champion dancer. Teacher by choice.
Nikita Gubaidullin spent years competing at the highest level of Ballroom dance and became a three-time World Champion.
But eventually, something became more important than trophies.
Teaching.
He discovered that what he loved most was helping another person understand a movement, overcome frustration and suddenly realise: “I can actually do this.”
That changed his relationship with dance. Competition can create extraordinary dancers, but a medal means very little when the person behind the movement is no longer enjoying it.
Today, Nikita teaches with a different philosophy: technique matters, progress matters — but enjoying the journey matters too.
“Dance should make you better — not make you afraid of getting it wrong.”
We combine professional-level technique with an environment where people can experiment, make mistakes, improve and genuinely enjoy moving.
Not a generic dance class.
Our goal is not simply to keep you moving for an hour. Our goal is to teach you something you can actually see, feel and use.
Real technique
Understand how movement works instead of simply copying steps. We teach posture, balance, coordination, rhythm and technique.
Visible progress
Your training adapts as your skills improve. Every class should move you closer to a measurable result.
World-class coaching
Learn through a methodology shaped by years of international competitive Ballroom experience.
Your level. Your pace.
Complete beginner or experienced competitor — we adapt the training to the dancer in front of us.
Technique + enjoyment
We believe the strongest dancers are not only technically capable. They are confident enough to actually enjoy dancing.
Adults & kids
Structured Ballroom and Latin programmes for adults, children and young dancers at different stages of development.
If you are learning, you should see progress.
We are confident in the way we teach. If you follow the agreed training programme and do not see measurable progress in your dancing, talk to us. If we cannot put it right, we will refund your programme.
