La Sylvaine & Wendy Bell School of Dance 18A Parsons Green, London SW6 4UH

"I started ballet at La Sylvaine at the age of 4, over 40 years ago, under Mme Lamaison's instruction. I learned some of my most formative life lessons there - focus, resilience, the joy and rewards of hard work and working as a team, courage to perform on stage and a love of music and dance. I now send my two daughters to the same ballet school, and am watching them learn the same life lessons I did. They are gaining so much from this lovely school and its wonderful teachers. They strike the perfect balance between teaching first class ballet, nurturing the children and having fun. My children never want to miss a class! If you are considering dance lessons for your child, do not hesitate to send them to La Sylvaine. It's one of the best decisions you will ever make."

"My 2 daughters (12 and 8) have been attending ballet and Hip Hop Classes at La Sylvaine & Wendy Bell School for 2 years and they love it. The teachers are amazing and take great care of every child. I highly recommend this school of Dance."

"Such an amazing dance school! Our daughter fell in love with ballet at La Sylvaine when she was 4 and, 8 years later, she would not even imagine she could miss a class. Amazing teachers, fantastic discipline; it is breathtaking to see how she’s progressed throughout the years. Thank you!"

"La Sylvaine has taught two generations of my family: my brother and I in the 80s, 90s and 00s, and now my children over the past two years in Parsons Green. I have every confidence in the quality of the teaching, and continue to be inspired by the core principle they hold dear, being that every child can, and should dance for as long as they want to. It is school that nurtures children and their talents, and builds confidence and skill. I couldn’t recommend it more!"

"Both of my daughters began dancing at La Sylvaine school when they were 2 years old. The teachers are hard working, dedicated and inspirational. My girls have loved being involved in the shows and were proud to pass many exams. They have made some great friends and have learnt the importance of discipline, confidence and composure through mastering ballet techniques. My youngest daughter is now 14 yrs and is hoping to take her grade 6 exam in the near future. Blandine, the owner of the school, and the different teachers who have taught my daughters over the years have nurtured, encouraged and motivated her. I would not hesitate to recommend this school"
