Professional dance training 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!”

“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!”

“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!”

“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!”

“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.”

“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 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!”

“Got to give them 5 stars.They no their stuff best of all its an academy. So the kids can grow instead of changing gyms. They have a fighting course if you actually want to train to fight. And compitions for the kids”

“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!”

“This the most fun and inclusive dance class I have ever attended! Anna makes the classes fun and will detail every single step until everyone can dance the routine. Everyone is welcoming and helpful and there is no shame in asking questions or struggling with the steps. Would definitely recommend in a heart beat to anyone fed-up of stuck up classes that go too fast!”

“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.”

“Had our first private couples lesson in Canary Wharf and we loved it! We are absolute beginners but made us feel very comfortable and at ease, very patient in guiding us through the different basic moves. Looking forward to our next lesson!”

“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.”

“My daughters both go to lyric dance school on Friday afternoons. They have great fun, learn important skills like discipline and make their granparents happy by practising their dance move in front of them. End of year shows are a great day out for the whole family. I love how their teacher Michelle can be very nice but firm when they misbehave. Highly recommended as an after school activity”

“Angelo, is brilliant! Excellent with children, very trustworthy. The children’s classes have shows each terms and this helps to enhance children’s confidence. Highly recommended!”

“I am looking forward to every Wednesday's class! Great fun!”

“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)”

“My daughter absolutely loves her dance classes with Danceforce. She’s been doing ballet for a few years and recently started modern too. She adores the teachers and really looks forward to the shows they put on. They’ve been brilliant throughout the lockdowns quickly switching classes to zoom when needed. It’s been amazing that she’s been able to carry on all year”
