Beginner dance classes uk in London

“My daughter has had dance lessons with dance shack since she was 8 and I have seen a remarkable improvement every year. Love the different classes that dance shack offers. The teachers are fantastic and dance shack is like a second family for my daughter.”

“My favorite part of visiting London is attending Mestre Bombril’s capoeira class. Mestre Bombril and his team create an incredibly dynamic, challenging, and welcoming environment that makes every session wonderful. I’ve trained in many capoeira classes—from Salvador, Bahia (my hometown) to the US, Canada, and beyond—and this is by far one of my favorites. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the energy and spirit of capoeira!”

“We paid for wedding dance lessons with Lauren @ Kaleidoscope Dance to prepare myself and my husband for our first dance. Neither of us are dancers, and this was way out of our comfort zone, but we decided it would be fun and would break up the stressful wedding planning. We are both so pleased that we did it. We had 4 lessons with Lauren, who choreographed and taught us our dance. Lauren is bubbly and friendly, which made the lessons really enjoyable, they would always be filled with laughter. Lauren was kind and helped us improve our dancing and helped us to feel confident for the big day! Lauren was always asking for our input and wanted us to feel comfortable above all. On the day, the first dance went really well and it was the talk between all of our friends and family for a while, commenting how beautiful it was. My father commented that it was a highlight of his day and he felt very proud. We would highly recommend Kaleidoscope dance for any couples looking for somebody to choreograph and teach a first dance. Thank you Lauren :) xx”

“We have been attending Neil's classes for some years and they are always very enjoyable and rewarding as he is a great teacher, whatever your level. He takes the time to explain and demonstrate all steps and the routine in detail and there is always a sense of achievement when learning a new skill in such a super environment. Neil's classes are also always great fun - he has a particular style and sense of humour, varied and well structured. We have also tried private lessons which are of great value. Rubies and Neil much deserve all success and are highly recommended!”

“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!”

“Had a private group lesson with my partner and his parents! They were so nervous because it was their first time doing any sort of dance class. Alex made everyone so comfortable and taught the class in the most engaging and warm way. I would 10/10 recommend her for any one who’s looking to introduce a little dance into their lives in a fun and engaging way ”

“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!”

“Our girls love going to ballet class! Gill is an amazingly inspirational teacher! She is completely devoted to the progress of her pupils and leads by example with her indomitable spirit even through these troubled times. We are immensely grateful for her unwavering efforts while still creating an atmosphere of disciplined fun and sophistication for her aspiring ballerinas. Highly recommended.”

“Love the adult classes and the community Jump Up offers. I have made wonderful friends in these classes and Erna creates a safe, supportive space where people can enjoy dancing!”

“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!”

“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 !”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!!”

“If you’re thinking of starting a new hobby or getting into dancing, this is the class for you!!! Nuno and all of the lovely instructors are amazing, patient and have great sense of humours. There’s no self-consciousness. Nuno even choreographed our wedding dance! Best dance class EVER.”

“Jack provided private lessons to both myself and my wife before our wedding, along with group lessons for both our hen and stag dos. He's an amazing dancer and his passion for dancing and teaching is contagious. Jack made us feel completely comfortable and he helps you learn whether you can dance or have two left feet. The group sessions for our friends were great fun. Jack had even the most seasoned English wallflowers up on their feet. We will both be having further private lessons and we can't recommend Jack highly enough.”

“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!”

“Just started my course at AYA and I’m so impressed with the teaching style and atmosphere. I was so scared to start something like this in a group but everyone was welcoming and the tutor took time to watch us individually and guide us. Venue wise, my sat nav took me to the road before Oakley but I quickly realised to follow it around, taking two right turns and that brings you to the front of the South Norwood venue.”

“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.”

“Dilek is the best ballet teacher I’ve ever trained with. She really cares about the individual improvement of all her pupils and pushes you to be the best dancer you can be. The atmosphere she creates at the school and in her classes is friendly, supportive and fun. As an adult ballet dancer, I could not recommend her enough!”

“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.”

“Being brought to this class by a friend 3 months ago and I have been coming every week since. Absolutely great class to learn Cuban salsa for anyone, whether a complete beginner or someone looking to up his moves. Friendly and professional teachers and great bunch of people that I consider a family. :) Definitely recommend to everyone.”

“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:)”

“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.”

“Great and really dedicated school! Professional teachers, very kind, and strict. We love the results of classes, and how involved and happy our daughter with her dancing!”

“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.”

“Great and really dedicated school! Professional teachers, very kind, and strict. We love the results of classes, and how involved and happy our daughter with her dancing!”

“Absolutely gorgeous space in the heart of East London. I have been renting it for my yoga classes and I'm very pleased with the quality of the space, sound, location and lovely people running this venue. Highly recommend.”

“Both our daughters have attended Shimmi Shakes for over six months now. The provision for ballet and tap dance is so impressive, and the girls look forward to the Saturday morning sessions every week. The team are wonderful and there is an amazing sense of community, with exams organised, and trips to the West End to see professional theatre as well. We couldn't be happier.”

“Some of the best teaching in town. Always challenging and fun, Sharon gives great personalized advice which helps you improve your dancing. I have been to many JazzMad workshops and definitely recommend them!”
