Advanced dance techniques in London

“Sumeet’s dance academy is a superb place to learn bollywood dance from highly skilled teachers amidst loads of fun! Each term has new songs and new choreography, which keeps the classes very exciting. And the shows at the end of summer and winter terms offer a perfect opportunity for the students to groove on stage and showcase their dance to friends and family!”

“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.”

“Adult contemporary class is the most rewarding thing I could do on Thursday evenings. Always open for experiments, fun and friendly environment. Lots of options to enjoy - either fancy warm-up, or space-filling diagonals, or new exciting choreo. And amazing opportunity to perform in front of friendly audience few times a year. I love our teacher Gemma - the most dedicated and cheerful person I ever know. Whoever wants trying - you are welcome to join a family of Sutton contemporary dancers!”

“Our daughter dances at Caterham Dance School with Clara and Damian and their reputation for excellence is very well-deserved. From trying out a cha cha in the children's beginner class, through to competing in juvenile ballroom and latin competitions, they have been really supportive at every step - tailoring teaching and advice on technique to her abilities as they develop, and continuing to inspire her love of dance!”

“Both my daughters have been taken classes with Dakodas and love them! Acro in particular is an amazing mix of dance and gymnastics. But the overall highlight is the end of year show, a huge production and a big treat for parents and kids alike!”

“I found this dance studio online and went for a trial session this Friday. The venue itself is easy enough to get to via Uber or public transport (a walk to St James Park UG). The people who work there couldn't have been nicer, very welcoming and knowledgeable! I met my dance instructor and we had a short intro discussion about what I'd like to learn / achieve before getting on the dance floor. The space is brilliant and the team are incredibly friendly and hospitable - I have signed up for lessons and would definitely recommend to anyone who wishes to learn. Hot tip for newbies, wear flat shoes.”

“The Kensington Little Dance Academy has been our home away from home. We couldn’t be more grateful for Ms. Georgina’s ballet class and the incredible impact it has had on my children. Both my daughter (3) and son (2) absolutely adore their time in class, and it’s been amazing to see how much they’ve grown under Ms. Georgina’s guidance. The support and encouragement from both Ms. Georgina and Ms. Beth has been unwavering. I cannot recommend these classes enough!”

“Such a fun class. Malika is a great teacher, she empowers you to trust your own movement in a welcoming environment. Everyone in the class is super friendly and it’s super fun while learning a lot. Thank you Malika:)”

“My 9 years old daughter has had the best few years training with Katie Cox Dance Studio. She started with just ballet but her love of dance grew and now she does tap, lyrical, acro and jazz too! She has flourished in such a nurturing environment and made some amazing friends. She loves her teachers and is always so happy when we are on the way to lessons. The effort that goes into each child to bring the best out of them is amazing and all the students really cheer each other on and celebrate each other’s achievements. Both students, teachers and parents come together to put on amazing events and shows. I can’t wait to see what else Katie Cox Dance Studio can do over the next few years!”

“We booked sessions with captiv8 dance to prepare for a wedding dance at the suggestion of my fiancé. I want massively bothered about it but went along with it. It turned out to be one of the most fun bits of the wedding prep. Oya is such a good teacher, so flexible and so enthusiastic. She doesn't teach you just a routine but how to dance. We found the practice to be an ideal antidote to wedding stress. When it came to the wedding we nailed it, and it felt so good. We even did our dance at home the day later as we missed it. We're planning on doing follow up lessons as we loved it so much!”

“I have danced with Luanda in her classes at the Acosta Dance Foundation in Woolwich, London. I have thoroughly enjoyed all the classes a found Luanda an exceptional dance tutor, very passionate, inspiring and most of all very professional. She gives you all the elements for learning the dances. She is really passionate about bringing the dance experience to everyone. She is very caring and you always feel supported because she adapts her teaching to suit you. I am also very impressed to see how Luanda has build her dance business here in London in a short time and it’s all down to her immense drive and passion. Thank you Luanda”

“What CAN’T I say about Leilah? She is an incredible dancer, an incredible teacher, and an incredible person. All of her classes are filled with good energy and fun choreo, and they’ve been a staple of my time here in London. I recommend Leilah’s belly dance to everyone!”

“Rhythm & Vibes Dance Co is a WHOLE VIBE @Salsa Temple! By providing multiple different levels for their classes they make it easy to find the right entry point for you and will coach you through the levels as you progress. They also host socials almost every night they run which is really unique to them and allows you to practice and compound what you learn in the lessons which is super valuable. The teachers themselves are both excellent dancers and instructors. The vibes overall is always good humoured, energetic and fun.”

“Emma is a lovely person, very enthusiastic and always wants the best for your children. She works hard to help her students expand their skills, and improve their dancing in both ballet and contemporary. Great opportunities would recommend.”

“My 3y old joined the children ballet class and really loved it. The teacher was professional, gave individual attention, encouraging, correcting and reassuring them. Great way for training the little muscles and posture whilst having fun!”

“Welcoming, friendly and fun! There were a few absolute beginners like me in the class and within the hour we were able to move around the dancefloor and enjoy the music. Great atmosphere at the social dancing after the class. You can bring up your drinks and the bar staff will bring food orders upstairs too. Highly recommend!”

“My children love Bethany’s classes, they have attended the weekly classes and today they went to the holiday workshop. Bethany and her team are so good with the children and everyone has such a good time. It’s amazing how quickly they learn the routines for the show at the end and how confident they are performing.”

“My daughter has been doing ballet at Rise for several years and started doing Contemporary with them a couple of years ago. She loves both classes! The teachers are friendly and she has come a long way. She really looks forward to her lessons every week.”

“My 4 year daughter has been going here for about 7 months. It is honestly fantastic. Andrei is amazing at getting the kids to follow the routines and teaches them ways so it's easy for them to remember. My daughter absolutely loves the class”

“Suzy was amazing at helping us with our first dance for our wedding day. We knew what we wanted and she was quick to help us with our two left feet and quickly created a routine that helped us feel confident that on the day of our wedding we would be able to look like we knew what we were doing. The time spent with her was really enjoyable and we left each session with a drive to keep practicing and desire to do more lessons in the future! Our wedding day first dance went really well and thats all down to Suzy's expert tuition - thanks Suzy!”

“I just completed a fan veil course with Oloma, and it was marvellous. I learned a great deal and had fun at the same time. I hope Oloma will do a fan veil follow-on course at some point next year !”

“My daughter has been at KDA for a couple months and she has absolutely loved it. The teachers are great and always try to motivate the girls to be their best. The community is really nice and feels like a family.xx”

“We are so pleased with our daughter’s growth and confidence in her ballet classes! She is constantly talking about ballet and says ‘my ballet school’ anytime we walk past. She’s almost 2.5 years old and I know her classes will support her confidence in everything she does. Ms Amy is an amazing teacher and so supportive. Thank you!”

“After not dancing for 5 months it was good to be back. It was all very professional and safe. Hand sanitisers and gloves in place. The dance teachers Martin and Jonathan had head visors on for extra protection. There is nothing at all to be worried about. Get your booties down there and dance the night away. You will have lots of fun on the way.”

“ACS is a fantastic and friendly dance school for all ages and abilities. I have been dancing here since I was 3 in all styles of dance taking part in many exams, shows and competitions. The training I received here led me to go to a prestigious London dance college & become a professional dancer. ACS is literally my second home at this point! ACS also started my teaching career and under their excellent tuition from Diana Lunn and Helen Steggles I became fully qualified as an ISTD DDE Dance Teacher in Modern, Tap and Ballet and achieved my AISTD qualification in Disco Freestyle & Rock’n’Roll under Katie Wilson. They provide a wide range of classes that cater to everyone in stunning facilities and studios. All staff are lovely and helpful. I’ve never had an issue with parking. I owe ACS so much and will always be grateful to Di and Mark for all they’ve done (and continue) to do for me. So get dancing!!”

“I absolutely love taking classes with Edd. He makes each session fun, supportive, and empowering. His lessons are well-structured, and I highly recommend his classes, especially if you're new to pole dancing and want to start on the right foot.”

“Great one to one lesson in very well organised and covid safe eviornment!”

“I recently took salsa classes at Salsa Tropical and had a wonderful experience. The instructors were both friendly and knowledgeable, creating a welcoming atmosphere that made learning enjoyable even for a beginner like me. What impressed me most was how well-paced the class progression was - they built skills gradually without rushing through the fundamentals, which helped me feel confident as we moved to more complex steps and combinations. The instructors took time to work with students individually when needed, and their expertise really showed in how they broke down the movements and explained the rhythm. I'd definitely recommend Salsa Tropical to anyone looking to learn salsa in a supportive, well-structured environment.”

“I can't recommend this fabulous dance school enough, my daughter has been dancing here for 13 years , it's simply the best . The opportunity's that these children have are amazing. Performing on cruise ships , Disney, Haven and in the west end . The teachers bring the best out of each child . Adult classes are also available which i also attend . Communication is always good , we are kept informed at every step with emails and can always talk to staff if needed. Lucy Lovick and her team are brilliant ❤️ 5 stars from me and Katie x”

“I’ve just started my second course with Hasina as this is exactly what I was looking for! Choreo oriented belly dancing lessons give you a great pace of learning and enjoyment. I love every second of it and highly recommend to anyone wanting to try some classes”
