Dance workshops in Edinburgh

“Fantastic summer camp experience! Great mix of dancing, singing & crafts. My daughter loved her week at SSD!”

“I tried 5 different dances at dansebase and enjoyed all of them. The teachers are friendly and they know how to share their passion. You come here for fun, to enjoy yourself, to relax and make friends, not for competition. The variety of dances taught at dance base is really an asset, as well as the possibility to book drop-in classes. My experience there is 100% positive!”

“I was very lucky to have been given Freddie as my partner and teacher for a Strictly-style charity event, where I had to learn a cha cha that was to be performed in front of 150 people, in a relatively short space of time. Freddie's passion for dance, skill in teaching, confidence in my ability and calm demeanour made the whole experience an amazing one for me. I therefore have no hesitation in recommending Freddie and Nuno's dance4passion classes.”

“Great dance school! My daughter is one of those shy girls and has really opened up since she started going to mini acro. She has also learned a lot there and is always happy to go to classes!”

“Dance discovery is a welcoming, nurturing and inclusive dance school. My daughter is autistic and dyspraxic and has been included l, encouraged and loved since the moment she joined! The teachers always go above and beyond to help the children grow and develop in to confident dancers. I 100% reccommend anyone to join and become part of the dance family ❤️”

“My 5 year old daughter has been attending Angela Watson’s for two terms and is loving it! She is making friends, learning new skills and is confident and her posture lovely. We enrolled her in the October holiday programme as well which she loved & worked well for us in terms of holiday cover. Highly recommend.”

“Bachata Blues Edinburgh is hands-down one of the best dance schools I’ve attended. The quality of the classes is outstanding—everything is clearly structured, well-paced, and thoughtfully designed so you can truly progress week after week. Each lesson builds on the last, making the learning journey feel smooth and genuinely rewarding. Highly recommend getting the block of classes as the lessons are structured within those. The instructors are exceptional. Their strong professional qualifications and artistic careers really shine through in the way they teach—technique is explained in a way that’s easy to understand, and they always take the time to refine details without making the class feel overwhelming. You can tell they’re passionate about both the dance and the students’ development. The environment is incredibly welcoming and friendly. Whether you're a complete beginner or already have experience, you immediately feel included and supported. The whole community has a warm, positive energy that makes every class enjoyable and motivating. If you're looking for high-quality bachata classes in Edinburgh with expert instructors, a clear learning structure, and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere, Bachata Blues Edinburgh is the perfect place to learn and grow. Highly recommended!”

“Zayna dance academy provides a loving, kind and nurturing environment for young dancers. My daughter started here at 3 years old and absolutely loves the teachers and pupils and has gained so many new friends as well as loads of confidence and flexibility. They also provide brilliant holiday camps, parties and trips to the theatre. Highly recommended!”

“Learning Salsa and Bachata here has been amazing! I've been coming here for a few weeks now and Ami's passion for teaching truly shows! What's even better is that these lessons are free on Fridays and Saturdays!”

“Felt at ease and welcome after a long break from ballet. Teacher was accommodating and friendly. Lovely location too.”

“I love dancing here best dance school ever”

“The best dance school in Edinburgh.”

“all my friends go ther and thay say it is good”

“Attend the Edinburgh Winter Swing Weekend each year. It's great. Fab teachers and good venues for dancing.”

“Just want to say Alan & Norma are fantastic instructors, they get you around the flooring dancing to what you learn and putting it into practice. Their years of instruction and competing are invaluable whether you want to dance socially or if you want more in-depth technique learning, leading to medal work or competition focussed then they are certainly the ones to learn from. Prices are EXTREMELY reasonable and a pay as you go basis. Very patient, funny, professional and desire to pass on their knowledge to everyone who attends, what are you waiting for! As they the well known saying goes “Keep Dancing” which I hope to do with them for many years to come.”

“Great place to learn to dance.all types of styles and ages .staff are there to take care of you at a pace that is right for you they are a shinning light in the professional services that they provide to all children”

“I only saw this dance group at the start of their session, doing their warmup exercises, but I got some photos and was really impressed with their vibe -- as well as the dance itself. What makes groups like this appealing is how friendly they are and this lot seemed particularly welcoming. If I was living in Edinburgh I'd love to join them and learn this ancient dance from the Punjab. Although they teach Indian dance they all seem to be Scottish university students. I'm not sure if any of them are actually from India. I got their permission to take their photos and post them here, and I could feel a happy vibe when doing so. The building itself is ancient, well restored and impressive. Check out their website as they have other classes during the week. This review only refers to their Sunday class. Good luck and happy dancing.”
