Dance lessons for beginners in Welling

“Dance Shack is an amazing dance school with such a fun, positive atmosphere. My girls love it and get so much enjoyment from their classes and the annual show. Their teachers Lucy, Rianna and Lisa are inspirational!”

“Had the best experience during lockdown with this dance studio. It has been one of the only things keeping me mentally and physically fit. Marius and Oti have been wonderful teachers, I especially have loved Shake It With Oti! Really hope it makes a comeback! Thank you both for keeping the nation healthy during the past year, can’t wait to be in the studio this weekend!”

“NCAD is a wonderful dance and musical theatre school run by Sarah Jackson. My daughter had tremendous fun during her time at NCAD, especially starring in their shows! Sarah manages to get the balance between laid back and encouraging ambition. Children who just want to have fun are welcome here and there are great opportunities for those who wish to take their performing arts seriously. You can take your dance G.C.S.E. and several NCAD protégées have gone on to star in West End shows. Class prices are very reasonable to so all in all this is a great place for your child to come to explore the performing arts and grow into a talented and successful professional if that's what they want to do.”

“I’ve learned in this studio for a year, half of grade four and half of grade five and I have enjoyed every lesson very much. The teachers have taught me a lot and were always there to support me and help me grow. I have accomplished a lot this year and I am very glad I chose to go to this studio. Even though I’ve been in the studio for a short time I have connected with the teachers and students and had a great environment to learn. Really recommend for everyone, beginner or a long term dancer, the studio is very welcoming and helpful!”

“New,beautiful studio,amazing atmosphere and teachers.It is the perfect exercise to loose weight,tone up but mostly increase your confidence and find new friends. I highly recommend this studio!”

“Such an amazing dance school! Everyone is welcomed no matter what their ability! They have so many classes to choose from for children and adults, very professional while at the same time being very laid back and. Inclusive. Very friendly staff who cannot do enough and the dance teachers are one in a million!”

“We came here for help with our first dance and the teachers and staff were so friendly and professional and talented and fun. Would highly recommend. Everyone was so impressed with our first dance at the wedding. Thank you so much team!”

“Wonderful experience! Anna is a lovely person and a great teacher. My wife and I were able to choreograph our wedding song in 5 lessons. Amazing results! We highlightly recommend First Dance London :)”

“My adorable wife and I celebrated our 20th Anniversary in London. My wife is from Vienna and she had the brilliant idea of taking a lesson to finally learn the Viennese Waltz - which we've been butchering for the last 20 years. This would be our first ever dance lesson individually or together. After much searching she found Paul and from the first email exchange we knew we had found the right teacher. When we arrived for our lesson Paul immediately made us feel welcome and comfortable, as if we'd known him all along. As he guided us through our lesson we found that not only was he a gifted dancer, but a gifted teacher and what we learned was far beyond our expectations. It was not just a dance lesson but a deeply moving and emotional experience that reminded us of the deep connection great partners have -not only in dance but in marriage as well. Thank you, Paul- and we're looking forward our rumba lesson next....”

“It was a pleasure to have met Stefan. We highly appreciated Stefan’s talent, dedication and passion towards dance and sharing the joy of dancing with others. We were looking for a wedding first dance pack and were really lucky to get the flexibility of fitting the lessons in our busy diary. We were made to feel very comfortable and confident which is not always simple when you are new to the spotlight. Stefan’s friendly attitude made the learning experience fun and motivated us through the course, as well as he ensured the choreography was tailored to our personality. Would definitely recommend Stefan to any couple preparing for the special weeding dance or anyone looking to improve their dancing skills. Stefan, thank you for everything!”

“My Fiance and I had a fantastic experience with Ed. We wanted a couple of lessons to learn a basic choreographed routine for our wedding. Ed did a fantastic job of creating a routine that hit really the mark and was great at teaching it to us. Would highly recommend.”

“I attended beginner ballet class with Natasha and it was a good way to go back into ballet after years of stop! The teacher is amazing and the space is very nice and clean!”

“I moved in Bromley nearly one year ago. I never thought that I would find such a great dance school (with a history of ~30yrs) near to where I live. Really pleased that I found Shimmi Shake for my 3 year old daughter. Professional and lovely teachers with great results on their students. The show was held last week and it was absolutely amazing and rewarding to watch (including my daughter’s perfomance ☺️). My daughter loves it and loved the show too-she wants to do it again! I would recommend Shimmi Shake to parents.”

“Both my girls attend dance classes at Siegeris Dance (tap and modern for one, and ballet and modern for the other). The teachers are all wonderful and even in these strange times are providing brilliant classes on zoom. My girls always bounce into and out of their classes. Highly recommend!”

“Fantastic studio in amazing location. I love the beginner classes on a Thursday evening. Brilliant teaching and great fun. Totally recommend for anyone wanting to learn to dance.”

“My both daughters are attending KDA classes since 2 years and don't want to miss a class. I am feeling safe and happy to be a KDA mom as my daughters are really improving their skills and excited with every step. We don't even miss their holiday camps.”

“The best dance studio in East London with professional teachers and many different style in reasonable prices!”

“My daughter is 8 and has been attending Adagio for the last 4 years. Mrs Patching is an exceptional teacher as are all her wonderful staff and the level of teaching is to a very high standard. Not only has my daughter excelled in her dancing, her confidence has grown too giving her the erdge to succeed. Adagio is an outstanding dance school giving all the children that attend a chance to make new friends and develop skills that they will take with them through life. I would highly recommend Adagio to anyone.... it truly is a wonderful school :0)”

“I attend this studio regularly and do pole dancing and all the stretch classes and fitness classes. I absolutely love it. The teachers are incredibly talented, skilled and knowledgeable and we are very lucky to have them. The teachers always push you to do your very best in classes. I love all the friends that I have made at this studio and we are all like family. It is such a fun, welcoming place to come. I highly reccomend to anyone wanting to try aerial fitness.”

“I have worked with Lisa at the Polevocative Studio within MATICO for a few years now photographing some of their events and the liveliness and energy is always a pleasure to be apart of.”

“One of the best pole studios I've had the pleasure of trying. I live and train in NYC and got to come to 2 Exotica classes while on holiday in London, and let me tell you... I would move to this city just for this studio. The teachers are so wonderful and invested in our success. The space is open and bright. We all get our own pole too, which is a training game changer. Thank you, Exotica! I will definitely be back!”

“My daughter has been attending ID for 10 years since she was 4, she absolutely loves it and had made friends for life. They have yearly shows at Questors theatre for the dancers to showcase their talents, my daughter competes all over the country in competitions with them, the pastoral care is second to none, especially after lockdown when they secured free counselling for their teens. So lucky to have them locally…”

“Easily the best dance studios in London and probably the World. Have been sending dancers to classes here for over 20 years. Great friendly and edgy atmosphere. All studios with mirrirs, barre, sound systems and pianos. Varying sizes across 4 floors. Literally every type of dance class from beginners ballet and jazz to West end companies and reggaeton. Studios can be hired for very reasonable prices but they are busy. Classes range in price and you can join as a member. Highly recommended.”

“Massive variety of classes, including well known folk you'll recognise from other London dance studios. Classes are often 90 minutes (at cheaper prices!), so you get more of a chance to learn the choreo. People pay before class (no door fee, just class fee) so teachers don't have to stop teaching to collect money from people. Since opening they've fixed the remaining bits and pieces - there are benches in change rooms now and mirrors in the studios don't get misty any more! No showers though.”

“I am Claudia i love diversity and i met diversity the last year”

“Peter is a great teacher. In a few hours he taught us the routine for the first dance. He listened attentively to our remarks about figures and steps. The atmosphere during the lesson - great! I recommend it very much!”

“Oustanding teaching, ever positive, loving and encouraging teachers. Great communication with parents. All very well organised. Our daughter loves the classes!”

“Talented, patient, kind teachers and a lovely group of kids. Dancers make brilliant progress and have a lot of fun.”
