Beginner dance lessons in London

“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!”

“My daughter has been attending Jam for a few years, she is extremely happy with her class, and we can really see the progress she has made. She has absolutely loved doing the shows especially the big shows in a theatre. We love all the teachers and there is nothing they won’t do for you. Trying to manage my child social calendar is tricky, however it is made much easier with all the dates on the app. This is a win for a busy mum and an even busier child.”

“Hayley and the team at DH dance are so lovely! My son (4) started Street Dance this year having never attended a club outside of school before. He was really nervous and unsure to start with but really quickly started to grow in confidence every week. At that age, the most important thing is to have fun and develop confidence and we’ve achieved both of those with DH Dance this year! Thank you!”

“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 5 year old loves music and every bit of dancing. Chittal is nurturing his abilities and helping him groom in to a trained dancer.thanks to dance n beats for the efforts.highly recommend.”

“My son, he is 16 years old, he started attending ESDA this January. He has been learning HipHopDance since he was 8 years old in the U.S. We were looking for a cool dance school where he could use his experience and we found ESDA. We also appreciate the regular competitions, show times, and exams to measure his ability. We also appreciate the connections to event shows and the opportunity to showcase our dances at events.”

“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!”

“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”

“The most friendly and lovely dance class in London:) I have been with Street Dance London for over a year and it has always been an absolute pleasure to attend all the classes, all the teachers are really nice and encouraging and everybody is really supportive. There are lots of classes and locations to choose from so highly recommended for anyone who loves to dance!! It doesn’t matter if you are a complete beginner or experienced dancer, you will find a class which is great for you to enjoy:)!!”

“I2D is an amazing studio, great venue, very professional, talented (yet fun) teachers and an inspiring atmosphere! I have joined the studio at the start of the year and have been absolutely enjoying it. There is something for everyone - a genuine interest at perfecting the technique and your progress at Latin classes and social Thursday (Latin and ballroom) classes where you can practice in a friendly, warm environment. Maksym is a great teacher, who clearly loves what he does and very passionate about dancing. He is very patient, creative, incredible at explaining the technique and puts effort in making classes useful to everyone. He helps you challenge yourself without feeling discouraged and makes me always look forward to the next class!”

“I've been taking Belly Dancing lessons for half a year, from Marta, Sandra, and Farrah. All three ladies are excellent teachers. They make sure to repeat the moves so you remember and master them over time. As is the case with every dance, practice makes perfect. It's a ladies-only class, students of all ages and walks of life are welcomed. You can progress from one level to the next, as well as sign up for multiple (paid) lessons in the same week, should you wish to practice a little bit more. These belly dancing lessons are my favourite part of the week; they allow me to relax and have fun, providing a welcome relief during a stressful work week.”

“A welcoming and fun dance school, we would heavily recommend them to anyone wishing to try it out as a hobby! We started about a year ago with no experience whatsoever, and under the careful tutoring of the flow dance team through the group classes we’ve already seen such improvement and had a lot of fun. A special shout out to Jan who has been absolutely excellent in our private classes, always happy to help and very knowledgable!”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!!”

“My daughter has been dancing with Adagio School of Dance for 7 years and loves it!! She is 12 years old and spends most days at the dance school, doing ballet,tap, modern, contemporary and hip hop. The new dance facilities are fantastic, with several studios and also a homework room (!),and the school offers many genres of dance for both children and adults. The teachers have an exemplary background in dance and are enthusiastic, encouraging and supportive of their pupils. There is a real sense of family spirit, and the children of all ages get on well together. There is a bi-annual show in which the children are encouraged to perform and take part. This is always a spectacular and "not-to-be-missed" event and I am certainly looking forward to the next one in May this year!”

“I have now been a student in Danceforce for over a year and I am so happy that I made the decision to move here when I did. I was greeted warmly from the first day of class and have enjoyed every lesson since then. Miss Lexie is incredibly hardworking and kind and has inspired me to think about teaching dance myself in the future. Miss Jennifer, Miss Christie and Miss Carol are all amazing teachers - my experiences in dance-force have really helped me grow as a person - and I couldn’t be more grateful. I could not recommend Dance force more to someone starting or moving to a new dance school. The sense of community is amazing and I genuinely look forward to coming to dance now. Thank you so much!”

“Sumeet is an amazing teacher and dancer and I have enjoyed each session thoroughly. The showcase allows everyone to perform on stage which is an amazing experience. Monika and the entire team are very welcoming and friendly. So if you love dancing then this is the place to be.”

“My 6 year old daughter started ballet classes at TDS nearly 2 years ago and she'd like to sign up to her 4th weekly class from September. It goes without saying that she LOVES it! This dance school is a gem in Teddington. Natalie and her team are amazing and professional in every way. They always keep to the highest standards while teaching and guiding the kids gently and with kindness. There's a nice sense of community feel across the school where the children can feel safe and make friends. The way all the dancers - whether young or older - support each other is so lovely and heart-warming to see. The best place I have been lucky enough to find for my daughter, which I can highly recommend! Thanks TDS!!”

“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.”

“I highly recommend Arthur Murray Dance Studios at 77 Baker Street, London W1U 6RF, for anyone eager to learn how to dance professionally. A heartfelt thank you to Beverly for her kindness, patience, and clear guidance—she explained everything with such grace and professionalism, making the experience both fun and unforgettable.”

“Ana is such an amazing instructor. She made the class so fun and enjoyable while learning very key skills. I would definitely recommend her classes to everyone!”

“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.”

“Marina is an excellent instructor. I have made good progress under her teaching. The studio is spacious, clean and has a good vibe.”

“Shaan is an excellent instructor and is highly recommended. As a 62 year old man accompanying his wife on a birthday gift idea I was apprehensive about the idea of a beginner’s class, not least about dancing with others. But I need not have worried. It was relaxed, structured, instructive and, above all, a good laugh. Give it a go, especially if you’re concerned about your first dance class.”

“Two studios. Finished to a lovely standard. Run by past champion Mathew Cutler and evening lating practices with music from the best DJ in the world - Greg de Vet.”

“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”

“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!”
