About the Bath Dancentre
The Goodyear School of Dancing was founded by Paula and Tony Goodyear in 1960, this was later renamed The Bath Dancentre. Classes took place in the Forum, above the Bath City Free Church until 1997 when the owners decided not to renew the lease. Paula and her associates now teach in various locations in and around the Bath area.
As well as general group medal and social dancing classes Paula also teaches privately on an individual or couple basis. Classes are as popular as ever and the list grows longer each year as styles such as Rock 'n' Roll, Salsa and Line Dancing are added. Please see the Lesson information page for further information or contact the Dancentre to enquire about private lessons.
In addition Paula took over as the University of Bath Ballroom and Latin Dance Club's coach in 1987 and has helped the University team rise steadily up the rankings. At one competition they were ranked 5th in the UK.
