Dancing lessons near me in London

“My daughter has been attending ballet classes for the last 4 years and over those years she still goes to every single lesson with huge smile and excitement. She has learned a great deal and passed her exams and looks forward to continuing her development. Chahna is an amazing teacher whose classes are arranged to perfection- she is demanding but at the same time nurturing. She is very approachable and always happy to give advice. I really recommend the school and her classes as she knows well how to prepare little girls to be professional dancers.”

“I have been dancing now for around five weeks and it has been so much fun! Richard is an amazing teacher. He is incredibly patient and I have been able to learn at my own pace! As I’m progressing week by week I am becoming more confident and fitter! I usually start new hobbies and give them up quite quickly but I certainly won’t be giving up dancing with Forever Dance both Richard and Jeni are fabulous!!”

“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!”

“In the space of a year I have progressed from a complete novice to an active competitor qualifying in the top 3 for Blackpool and it's all down to Rubies Dance Centre! Head Coach Neil provides me with fundamental, technical knowledge to give me the best foundations on which to improve my ballroom and Latin dancing. Rubies is made up of many fantastic dancers of all levels and from a range of backgrounds and I love being a part of it's supportive culture. We have so much fun as a school and know that if we work hard we can achieve great things. Thank you Rubies Dance Centre for welcoming me into the dancing world and giving me the confidence to get out there and reach my goals!”

“We LOVE Michael & Jowita!... they are brilliant teachers. Amazing dancers themselves with the ability to motivate and teach to dancers of all ages and abilities. Their classes are always a lot of fun, high energy and challenging. We cannot recommend them highly enough!”

“Lovely dance school. They are professional and caring all in one package. Not sure how they do it but they do and they do it very well. My sons both love going to danceshack and have grown in confidence because of it.”

“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.”

“Laura and the team from The Little Dance Academy have been visiting our nursery to do ballet sessions with us for almost a year now and the children absolutely love the classes! They are very friendly and approachable and the classes are wonderfully fun and engaging. Laura plans sessions based around the time of year, for example - dancing like Easter bunnies at Easter which the children love! They are very professional and I couldn't recommend them highly enough. Thanks The Little Dance Academy!”

“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!”

“What a great place! We had a fantastic experience provided by lovely and very professional teacher Ksenia. She was very helpful and happy to focus on things I especially wanted to improve while getting us out of the comfort zone. Ksenia has a very good eye to make necessary corrections and a huge dance knowledge. Also, she is very encouraging and a super joy to work with! Would highly recommend!”

“I transported Rob, Stefan and students from Dakoda's Dance Academy to a dance competition. They were a delight to serve, very polite, punctual and the students were extremely well disciplined. I would be very happy to work with you again!!”

“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 daughter has been attending Pop Gems since the age of 3 years and it has been a great confidence builder for her, she has made great friends and had amazing opportunities to perform in a theatre. They are a great team of teachers who encourage the best out of all the children. They have been amazing with the communication throughout Covid-19, keeping parents and students up to date with changes and recommendations for all to return safely. I have been confident in the return to studios knowing they are going above and beyond to keep everyone safe and up to date with the every changing regulations and guidelines. The Popgems family is warm, accomodating and understanding. A perfect first time social extracurricular that im grateful my daughter is part of.”

“I can highly recommend, as my daughter has been dancing with KCDS for 10 years. The teachers are very likeable and professional, which has helped with confidence building, both within the dance school and externally. The range of classes is fantastic, offering something for everyone. There’s the opportunity to take part in a bi-annual show, which everybody enjoys. It’s a great opportunity to show parents and friends everything you’ve been learning.”

“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.”

“Luanda is a fantastic teacher and is so knowledgeable about Cuban dance. Her classes have structure and she breaks down all the moves so that beginners like me can easily follow and make great progress whilst the more advanced students can work on the finer detail, add flavour and do harder variations. She's very friendly and welcoming and has often made me feel better when I'm having a bad day! The live music she often has elevates the classes even more! (pre COVID of course!). Thank you so much Maestra!”

“Are you interested in learning belly dance in a professional, fun and nurturing environment? I guarantee you that Fleur Estelle Dance School ticks all the boxes! I discovered the school in 2008 when I attended a beginners drop-in class with Fleur on a whim, and have made it my "home" ever since. They offer a variety of courses, catering to different levels so you can explore various styles, props and fusions. If you're interested in performing, you have the opportunity to show off the choreography you learn in class at the end of term shows (if you choose to) and discover the glamour of the belly dance stage. The teachers are amazing - talented, inspuring, and encouraging. They make the classes enjoyable and help you grow on your journey by gently taking you out of your comfort zone, as well as giving you constructive feedback in a kind manner. The students are also friendly and supportive, making for a really lovely community. You won't regret trying it out :-)”

“Been coming to Tuesday classes (and one Wednesday class when we had them at Dogstar) for a few months now and it’s always a fun time. Instructors are not only amazing dancers but they’re patient and supportive teachers too. Always good vibes! Can’t wait for Wednesday classes to return next year!!”

“Adore Dance is a wonderful studio. I joined the Adult Jazz class over a year ago after a long break from dance. Whether you’ve danced before or not, Connor is excellent at teaching the relevant techniques whilst also keeping it light and fun, with some routines in there too. It’s a welcoming place, regardless of skill level so don’t hesitate!”

“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!”

“As one of Google's local guides, I must say that I am really glad that I came across Iris pole's ad on Instagram. This has completely changed my perspective on how to train efficiently and smart. As someone who has never had any experience in any sort of dance or specific sports, pole became a passion rather than just a routine work out for me. But this could not have happen without the support of all the instructors in Iris studio. Firstly, the place is very convenient to reach, 2 mins away from Kilburn and 3 mins away from Brondsbury stations. It is only for women which is a plus for me personally. Great, clean and decent size changing room with racks to store your belongings safely ( this is a big plus as some other studios that I have gone, do not have this facility). They provide you with yoga blocks and mats so you don't have to carry yours. Trainees get to have one pole per person for the whole session and you are not sharing the pole with others. This ensures that you are getting the most out of your work out and of course hygiene wise it is far better and safer. They also make sure that all equipment are sanitised before the next session starts. One thing I noticed and loved about this place is that for all the new joiners, Marina or any other instructors greet the newbies, guide them around the studio and ask about about any previous experience or injuries. I have not seen this level of care in other places which puts them higher than any other average studio in London. The trainings that they give you very much depends on your level of experience. Even the combos have modifications for the less experienced individuals. So if you are a newbie, you will be given easier moves and if you are experienced you will be given challenges. However, they do not push you or make you do anything that you do not feel confidant or comfortable with. Their level of customer care is beyond what I was expecting. When I came down with Covid, I could not attend few sessions, of course I cancelled within the allowed timing (3 but what stood out for me was that they extended my membership without even having me asking for it. This was an issue with Exotica studio where they refused to provide any sort of solution for my cancelation whilst I was in self isolation. Be aware that classes get booked very quickly as they are in high demand so you've got to reserve your spot very fast before it gets fully booked, I have missed my chance few times as I was busy with other things. So if you want to book a class for the end of the week best is to do it at beginning of the week as by mid week it will be already fully booked. My advice for this studio is keep up the excellent work and service. You guys are all stars.”

“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.”

“I attend the adult contemporary jazz class & I cannot recommend it enough! If you are thinking you would like to give it a go do not hesitate. The classes are well structured & prepared. The weekly choreography is well pitched & always gives you a good challenge, you leave the class on a high with a sense of achievement & a smile on your face. The teacher, Elodie, never falters in her enthusiasm, passion & commitment to the class & helping all her students to improve & grow in confidence, thank you!”

“Becky and her team run really friendly, welcoming pole classes for all levels. She is enthusiastic and so encouraging, and creates such a lovely environment for everyone in the class to feel comfortable and achieve amazing things. I would recommend her studio to anyone either considering trying pole for the first time or looking for a new studio to try.”
