Jazz dance schools 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.”

“My son has attended SBSD for about 6 years now. He loved dancing with Miss Shosh so much that he took up stage school classes too. His confidence and self worth has blossomed ever since and he is happy and thriving. Lessons are now provided at a dedicated studio which gives the children continuity and security. Miss Shosh and her family have put so much into the Studio that it's a home away from home for the kids. Looking forward to the upcoming production, which as they've always been in the past, will be amazing!”

“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!”

“First Dance Studios is a really friendly dancing school for adults. From the first day I started there, I could tell what a really caring and happy place it is. I was really nervous going back to dancing after many years, but the lovely teachers put me at ease and I felt like I belonged after only about 5 minutes. Everyone is so lovely and it is so well organised too with an emphasis on fun. First Dance Studios is a great place.”

“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!”

“My three daughters aged 8,5 & 3 have been attending classes (Tap, ballet & jazz) with Lauren for a year. All three of them are so happy in her lessons and have made such great progress in terms of their confidence and dancing ability. Lauren is such a committed teacher and is really aware of all the children abilities and strengths. I cannot recommend select school of dance enough.”

“My three children attended JMDS for 13 years. They attended all classes on and off , but particularly thrived in the dance classes from classical ballet through to contemporary and street jazz. My son stayed until he was 19 years old reaching his advanced 2 in ballet. Teaching is of an excellent standard, with both fresh and new choreography , to the more classical. The shows are of a professional standard and the highlights for all my children.”

“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.”

“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!”

“Excellent...as a beginner felt welcome by instructor and the experienced dancers Looking forward to UpTop when covid eases and i can attend classes”

“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!”

“I joined To learn ballroom with my wife a few months ago. It’s relaxed, fun and we can actually dance now! Really enjoyable with a great teacher Pail who makes sure everyone is comfortable and enjoying themselves. Highly recommend”

“Brilliant school with teachers who are very supportive and always pushing me and challenging me to reach my potential. I've loved being a part of this school since I moved from Wales to the London area 2 years ago. Highly recommend Caterham Dance School to both new and experienced dancers.”

“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!”

“The best ballet school for children and young adults in London!It is run very professionally, all teachers are very knowledgeable and serious about the students’ progress, the level is incredibly high and Natalia Kremen’s personal guidance and support is invaluable . The success rate in gaining places in the top professional schools speaks for itself, but it is also a fantastic place and training for those children who “just” want to dance for fun! Highly recommend.”

“Learning to dance is an incredibly rewarding experience that offers numerous physical and mental benefits. Learning a specific dance style like salsa improves your general dancing abilities, and the process can be both fun and challenging. Magda will help improve your coordination, technique, musicality, flexibility, and overall fitness. If you are a beginner or you've done a few drop-in classes, I recommend taking classes with Magda as she will quickly boost your self-confidence and help you develop a greater appreciation for music and rhythm. Whether you're looking to socialise, build up to performance level, or wish to have fun and meet people, learning to dance with Magda is a great way to get active and explore your creativity. Highly recommended.”

“For the past year, I've been learning to dance Brazilian Zouk and I can safely say, this school is easily one of the best dance schools to learn in. Everything from the venue, the facilities, the events, the styles and, most importantly, the teachers and students are incredible. You will instantly feel welcome here and you will be taught with a lot of attention, care and dedication by Pedrinho and Linda and their team. If you want to be a good dancer, then this is the place to do it. Looking forward to seeing you on the dance floor. ;)”

“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!”

“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.”

“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 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!”

“I can't speak highly enough about Rachel and her team at Spotlight Dance & Theatre School. My girls have been involved with Spotlight since they were young, attending the Friday classes (with some great presentations at the end of the term to see what the kids have learnt and how they are progressing). My girls are now older and attend the Saturday morning classes and they love them. They thrive on the opportunity to perform and look forward to the Musical performances and can't wait for this year's show (having missed out on live performances during the Pandemic). Their confidence has soared from the encouragement from Rachel and her team and to see them up on stage makes us all proud! Well done Spotlight!”

“All 3 of my children absolutely LOVE PSSA! The classes are varied, engaging and fun- The children always finish on such a high after class. We have recommended the school to all our friends! The staff are so friendly and welcoming too. We are so glad we found PSSA! Thank you ❤️”

“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!”

“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.”
