About us
Boots 'N' Boogie™ is for friendship, fun and line dancing, without the pressure of perfection.
Our mission
“As a family of dancers, our aim was to create a space that’s truly unique - one that’s all about community, friendship and that family feeling. It’s amazing to see the friendships forming and how much our classes have grown. We’re grateful for every single person who comes along and has fun with us. We’re not here for perfection; all that matters is that you’re enjoying yourself and having a laugh.”
HQ classes are at The Arnold House at Rugby. Classes run from Absolute Beginner to Improver, at any age. A social is a night out with the people you already dance with. New HonkyTonks are opening across the UK.

With years of experience under his belt, Darren brings a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm to the team.

Katie is Jade’s sister and the second daughter of Gemma and Darren. She has recently discovered a passion for line dancing, joining in with the rest of the family and embracing the fun of learning something new. Katie now helps out and assists at our Monday beginner class and occasionally joins us on a Thursday too. It’s lovely to see her enthusiasm growing and to have her as part of our line dancing family.

Lily has been dancing since she was a toddler, at the same dance school Jade went to. Dance has always been a big part of her life, and she has a real passion for line dancing. One of her favourite things is sharing that passion with her grandma, dancing side by side and making special memories together. She will be co-hosting our Brinklow classes.
