The SBR Heels Course is the original heels technique course in the Midlands, offering professional heels training in Nottingham for dancers of all levels. Led by international dancer and choreographer Shola Riley, this unique 4-week programme focuses on building heels technique, performance confidence, and stage presence.

 

Dancers develop walks, turns, floorwork, transitions, and mindset through expert tuition and personalised feedback. The course culminates in a professionally filmed concept video — giving participants the chance to showcase their growth.  With limited spaces to ensure high-quality training, The SBR Heels Course is perfect for dancers looking for structured progression and an empowering heels dance experience in Nottingham.

The Rain Studio Experience

Learn an empowering heels (optional) routine, then bring it to life in a professional indoor rain studio. You’ll dance under the rain with full lights, camera, and action — creating stunning visuals and unforgettable moments. Open to all levels — this unique experience is all about confidence, expression, and having your own music video moment.

SBR Studios hosts heels and commercial "pop-up" classes in Nottingham, welcoming dancers of all levels. Our open classes offer a flexible, drop-in format for those looking to experience SBR’s professional training environment without committing to a full course.

 

We run a variety of classes including heels technique workshops, commercial choreography, and beginner-friendly dance sessions. Each class is designed to help build confidence, refine technique, and explore individual style. Whether you’re preparing for The SBR Heels Course or simply looking to train with a supportive community, our Nottingham open dance classes provide the perfect space to grow.

Chair Dance Special — Sensual, Strong & Empowered

Our first Chair Dance Special during Valentine’s last year sold out fast — and we’ll be bringing it back before the end of the year! This dynamic workshop combines strength, flow, and sensual movement using the chair as a prop to elevate your performance and confidence.

Whether you’re new to chair dance or looking to level up your style, this is an empowering space to explore and express.

Through the Lens — Camera Confidence & Visual Storytelling

Learn to perform for the camera — not just on stage. In this workshop, you’ll explore how to connect with the lens, sell a story through movement, and elevate your on-screen presence.

 

With my experience as a dancer in multiple professional music videos — and now as a videographer — I’ll guide you through practical tips and techniques to help you feel confident, expressive, and camera-ready. Perfect for dancers, content creators, and performers looking to shine on screen.

"Change Brings Opportunities"

"Necessity is the mother of invention"

The beginning of
SBR Studios UK:

Founded by professional touring dancer, choreographer, videographer, and proud mum Shola B Riley, SBR Studios was created to be more than just a dance studio.
After years of performing internationally, Shola returned home to Nottingham and felt called to create a space where people could reconnect with themselves through movement, build confidence, and find a genuine sense of community.
Today, SBR Studios offers a welcoming environment where every individual is encouraged to grow at their own pace, celebrate their uniqueness, and step into the most confident version of themselves.

The SBR Heels Course

The SBR Heels Course is SBR Studios' signature six-week training programme, designed to develop technique, performance quality, confidence, and self-belief.
Through structured heels training, choreography, performance coaching, and mindset work, dancers are encouraged to challenge their inner critic, embrace their individuality, and grow both inside and outside the studio.
Whether you're new to heels or looking to refine your skills, the course provides a supportive environment where progress is celebrated and confidence is built.

SBR Collective

SBR Collective is the development and performance branch of SBR Studios, created for dancers looking to train with greater intention and gain real-world experience.
Through creative projects, performances, workshops, and collaborations, members have the opportunity to develop their versatility, confidence, and artistry within a supportive community.
At SBR Studios, movement is more than dance — it's a tool for confidence, connection, and personal growth.
