“I joined Jig and a swig in January and it’s the best thing I’ve done since moving to London. Jessie creates such a fun, open and welcoming environment from the first minute. She is a brilliant teacher and does this all while keeping the classes organised and running smoothly, seemingly effortlessly! The community is fantastic, full of like-minded people who also want to try something new and make friends along the way, made easier by the fact that you see them every week. There are extra events being run all of the time and so many opportunities to get involved if the weekly class isn’t enough:)”

“I had a wonderful experience training with Robyn and the London Meisner Company, having finished now I miss them all so much. I think the benefits of having a group to train with weekly can’t be understated. Robyn is direct and great at what she does, but she doesn’t cross the line into being harsh which I actually experienced at a different place I studied Meisner at, so that was always appreciated. She helped me see there were many more approaches to the work that I hadn’t explored before and I can’t wait to go back to masterclass and keep it all up! My class was also full of amazing people who have become friends, so that is always a plus! Thank you Robyn!”

“I can highly recommend the back in shape clinic. I have had a back problem for the last 3 years which has prevented me from enjoying my usual activities After seeing various specialists I thought I would give these guys a try. My physiotherapist Anthony has been excellent. From day 1 he has explained everything clearly and precisely. His assessment and treatment of my issue has been exceptional. I am now starting to make good progress and am much more positive about my recovery. Thanks very much.”

“This is the BEST most fun Salsa class I have been to. Mohammed is the most brilliant teacher, patient, fun and fantastic at teaching! Really couldn’t recommend this Salsa class more. Truly the best experience!!”

“Don´t lose the best London´s English learning school. A helpful and useful teacher will help you learn English quickly. Do you know? English is easy if you practise.”

“I joined the London Wing Chun Academy last year as a complete novice and I'm so happy I did. All the instructors are highly skilled, really friendly and always willing to help. Training there has made a huge improvement to my fitness and confidence levels, as well as having made many friends for life. Our Sifu, Dr Mark Phillips is an extremely knowledgeable, experienced instructor and an inspirational man. I feel privileged to be one of his students. I would highly recommend this school to anyone who wants to learn Wing Chun. You will not be disappointed.”

“Excellent friendly classes with great teachers and demos you can record to practice. I go alone and always feel very welcome. Highly recvomemd for a great start to your week !”

“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!”

“We hired Kes for facepainting at my daughter's 3rd birthday party. She was simply brilliant. The kids were over the moon with it and so were the parents, as for many, it was their first experience of it. Kes is an extremely talented artist and facepainter. I will have no hesitation in recommending her to friends and family. Thank you for being one of the highlights of the party!”

“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.”

“Do not hesitate to use Kensigton Hounds for any of your doggy needs. Drew is a fantastic puppy trainer. He is kind, patient and full of knowledge. He had so many helpful tips to make the first few months of puppy life stress free for the whole family. Drew always responded to messages and was a fountain of knowledge with any questions or concerns that I had. My dog absolutely loved training with Drew (he also taught me how to carry on teaching my dog with the tips and tricks to keep up the good work) The online store is full of great products and is delivered the same evening. A fabulous, professional team that I highly recommend.”

“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.”

“Heidi was such a great teacher, really friendly and relaxed for our mixed private salsa class of 4. We had a really fun evening would recommend to anyone looking to start salsa”

“One of the best Art schools in London! The team is Amazing and very helpful. Very happy with the teachers as well, as they are very talented, patient and well educated. Highly recommended.”

“Great classes, great teacher, great vibe!! I have to thank DSantosUk and Richard for not just learning about mazing different dance moves but for all the awesome experience it has been since I've joined more than an year ago. It's great to meet new people, places and simply have fun. Thank you!”

“Great place in Hackney, was here for the first time. changing room inside and outside, (need 1 pound), the water is great as well as the depth! also the staff is wonderful, if something is wrong they explain everything clearly! I will definitely visit this pool again, and recommend it to friends!!!”

“Been here to offer my service multiple times and love this place , I highly recommend for birthday parties , staff are friendly and kids will have a lovely time ! Upstairs where children eat also good space and clean ! Parking not a problem as they have their own , I always find it easy park aswell !!”

“The best salsa school ever!!! Ester and Antonio make everyone feel welcome and at home, like in a big family. Patient, friendly, full of positive vibes and energy. With their teachers everyone can learn Cuban salsa... and if I learned it it means everyone can! The environment is familiar, healthy and full of joy. I tried many salsa schools before arriving at Cubaneando and I always left with a great sense of frustration. For personal reasons I no longer attend this school, but I know for a fact that every time I return I will be welcomed like one of the family returning home after a long journey. Patrizia”

“Excellent service, absolutely amazing and extremely friendly family run business. My favourite nail spa in Stratford xx”

“Our children have been taking lessons with RSB for the last 9 years, and we really can't recommend them highly enough. Our daughter takes several dance classes in different disciplines which she absolutely loves. All 3 of our children also attend Starlight, their musical theatre course, which they enjoy immensely. The numerous performance opportunities the children have had has really helped them to grow in confidence and to develop life skills which sadly can't always be taught within the confines of the National Curriculum. RSB's teachers are fantastic, both in their level of expertise and their ability to nurture the children as individuals.”

“I can’t praise Laure and Dancebuzz enough. I love my beginners ballet classes. It is so well structured and so passionately taught, very friendly and suitable for absolute beginners like me. It became my favourite thing of the week. Thanks Laure. I wish one day I will be half as graceful as you are.”

“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!”

“Have been taking my 6 year old daughter for 3:1 swimming lessons with Brian at Swimming Class UK since she was 3 years. When she started she was afraid of getting her face wet. Now she is a confident and strong swimmer. She loves the lessons and it's a joy watching her learn and grow.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Dora when she taught us our first dance. She was extremely communicative, friendly, and made the two lessons a lot of fun! If you would like a choreographed first dance, I couldn’t recommend Dora more.”

“Personally, the best social salsa party in London! Perfect combination of high level dancers, great music and friendly atmosphere. I'm always leaving this place buzzing and thinking 'what a great night it was' even the next day.”

“I booked a private lesson with Maria through the Salsa Tropical website and was really impressed with Maria's expert knowledge and teaching style. Her style of teaching is fun and engaging and she is very focused on technique and style. As a result I have been having private lessons every week for the past 4 Months. Overall I would most certainly recommend Salsa tropical if you are looking to start or improve your salsa dancing.”
