Performing arts schools in London

“Piano Week in December 2020 was a wonderful experience. I am a piano/music novice with just over a year experience and as an adult learner, I wanted an experience with first rate teachers in a comfortable environment to gauge where I was and how to move forward. Piano Week exceeded every expectation. I was able to work on a variety of pieces and accomplished several "firsts" - performing in front of others (virtually), composing, improvisation, while also getting wonderful coaching on how to polish a piece, how to start a piece, technical exercises, organizing practice time, etc. I walked away inspired by the quality of the teachers and grateful they were able to connect with a novice player, pick me up where I was and give me some tools to move forward! Wonderful chance to get focused exposure to world class musicians and teachers. I took the class remotely from the comfort of home but the logistics and attention to detail were very professional! Wonderful professional staff, great participants - highly recommended!”

“My daughter has attended platinum since she was young. Every performance they put together is excellent. The care and support they give the children is amazing.”

“Andriana is an excellent teacher and strives to steadily improve the children's performance levels in a constructive and friendly manner. Session feedback is always prompt even during remote lessons which helps facilitate improvements for the next lesson. Andriana's methods have secured consistently high exam results with distinctions and high merits earned. The skills being learned by the children will be invaluable for the years to come.”

“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!”

“Danny is a fantastic teacher and facilitator. The pupils were so enthusiastic and energised, that after each session they would go home and practise to ensure that they were ready for the next week's session. Danny is personable and pleasure to work with and I would recommend him and his sessions without reservation.”

“Centre Stage is home from home, it's a place that enriches the lives of children and young adults. I have 2 sons that have been a part of Centre stage from the age of 4, my eldest is now in his late twenties and my youngest has recently turned 16. Centre stage has been an amazing platform for them both, they have developed with confidence not only in the world of Performing Arts, Dance, and music, but knowing who they are and striving to be their better self. I'm proud as a parent to be a part of Centre Stage family, none of this would be possible without the owner Carole Oshea, she has a carefully selected dedicated Team / staff you makes every child feel worthy and able irrespective of race, colour, disability etc. Her Team are an absolute inspiration to our children, their patience and passion for what they do so well is a testament to their commitment. Every child takes front of stage and has an important part to play. I would encourage any child to be a part of such a unique establishment. I'm a parent that has witnessed the talent that has be born from Centre Stage many moving on to Television, Theatre, etc. both in the UK and abroad, I myself have sat in the cinema and watched my son on the big screen. None of this would have been possible without Centre Stage. I would like to thank Centre Stage for the love, kindness and nurturing that so many children have been afforded during the many classes and productions which they have taken part in, our children have received a true blessing and will go on to be positive children of the future.

“My daughter really enjoys attending the school, she’s always made to feel welcome and part of the school and always has fun. The staff are very supportive and professional and always cater to my daughters special needs. Would definitely recommend this class to any children looking to develop their performing arts abilities.”

“I honestly can’t recommend ETA enough, my daughter absolutely loves all the teachers here and they’ve really brought out the best in her. I’ve truly seen her confidence and ability grow (and continue to) since joining last term. Such a friendly, fun and encouraging dance school. My daughter went for a trial and never looked back, she can’t wait for classes each week and keeps asking to do more and more, as I don’t think she wants to leave. The guys that run ETA are highly professional and skilled, yet personable and engaging, making all the students feel included and supported. A great place for your child to attend!”

“My son (5) has been attending Stagecoach Bromley for the past term. It is the first extra curricular club that he really loves, he is so excited to go each week. The staff are so warm and welcoming at drop off, and I feel completely comfortable seeing him off at the door (due to Covid). The staff make parents feel as involved as they can given restrictions. My son has really grown in confidence in a short time. Highly recommend!”

“My Daughter has attended the Stadium Theatre school since she was 4 years old & it now 12. This school is place the kids can be themselves & gain confidence in all aspects of theatre. My daughter has grown so much & has gone onto perform in West end shows. Would absolutely recommend this theatre school.”

“My son has attended classes for over a year now and thoroughly enjoys them - the instructors are all very experienced and friendly. They teach with a good amount of discipline as well as being fun. I can highly recommend Peak Performance Taekwondo.”

“Lessons with Mark have been really good, he explains everything in a simple way and makes sure you understand the changes and why changes are made to improve and how they will improve. Looking forward to more lessons and using my stats to help improve more and get that handicap down.”

“Hugh is an excellent coach, knowledgable and personable. I always come away from each session having learnt something more to work on to improve my game.”

“First lesson for my 13yr old daughter today with Fabio.from the LGA who is clearly passionate about the game. Lots of information provided, intimate studio with everything you need..Convenient location too. Littl’un happy and looking forward to the next one.”

“We have been consistently impressed with the Leanne Edwards School. Our daughter has trialed and is now a regular at a number classes and enjoys every minute. The teachers are great with the children and patient with us adults with all our questions! It's been a difficult year through covid restrictions but the school has kept the children engaged and moving and have always put the childrens safety first as everyone is now back together. We highly recommend.”

“My son started at EPA in May 2021 and they have welcomed him with open arms. His confidence has grown and he has achieved so much in such a short space of time. They are so inclusive, they encourage him and treat him as an individual without comparison to others allowing him to reach his own full potential. Highly recommend this dance school.”

“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.”

“Lisa and the Starmakerz team are enthusiastic and build such a positive musical theatre environment for their students! Such a wonderful school for your little ones to be apart of!”

“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!”

“Elevate Arts is a fantastic dance school and all of the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. My eldest daughter started her dance journey 6 years ago as a quiet child with very little confidence. Now, aged 11, she regularly takes part in outdoor performances with Elevate and recently competed at her 1st street dance competition! My youngest daughter is 4 and has recently completed her 1st term and she also loves her dance lessons every week. Elevate Arts is more than just a dance school, it really is like family. My daughters have created some fantastic friendships at Elevate and everyone, children and parents alike, are really supportive of all of the children, no matter their abilities. I think that fact that my daughter has attended for the last 6years and now wants to train to be a dance teacher herself is testimony to how great Elevate Arts is.”

“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.”

“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 love attending PPAS every Sunday. Not only I enjoy assisting the kids but also enjoy dancing and performing on stage too. I want to say a massive thank you to all the Choreographers that taught me they are all so talented. PPAS has set my foundation with dance and love to see my progress. My Journey with dance is just amazing. I also enjoy the adults singing and drama over the years I attended. I started dancing with PPAS summer 2018 to present. Its my little dance family. Here is to many more years to come and many more performances!!!!!”

“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!”

“My daughter does Harlequins after-school at her primary school and recently did the summer school. She absolutely loved it, a range of activities in addition to the singing, dancing and drama. She didn't know anyone and they made so much effort to make her feel at ease. Thanks so much!”

“London Tango classes offers a really friendly and inclusive atmosphere. Classes are fantastic, Simon and Emily are gifted and approachable teachers. I always feel welcomed and I really appreciate the effort they make in creating an environment like that”

“Excellent Ballet school! Miss Narangi, the teacher, is very professional, friendly, supportive and patient. This school has individual approach towards every child. My daughter has been doing fast progress from the first lesson. She loves her ballet classes and is looking forward to her next session. I would highly recommend this ballet school.”
