Competition training in London

“Wonderful nurturing, friendly and professional place. My daughter has a real sense of being properly trained in ballet at the age of 9, as there is formality in the form of uniform and exam preparation without it feeling too strict. She loved the chance to prepare for and perform in a show at Jackson’s lane. Highly recommend this excellent school.”

“It has been a great experience to learn some of the Flamenco's technique. Ollie is one of the best teachers I've ever met. He has been extremely patience with the group. In Ollie's lessons, he will get you to work very hard and most important help you to gain confidence.”

“Our son has attended this school for several years. It has helped him to develop as a performer and as a young man. The staff are superb and the family environment found here nurtures creativity and builds confidence in a safe space. We cannot thank them enough for all they have done for our son.”

“This has been an incredible experience for our son George. He received top training from experienced and professional instructors who love fencing and are wonderful teachers for the young students, in addition to the older students. They make fencing fun and exciting. Knightsbridge Fencing Club is dedicated and passionate about teaching fencing, we would highly recommend this club to any parent that is wondering about trying the sport. Our younger daughter has now started fencing lessons as well and she loves it. Tamas and Juliana are amazing and the entire team of teachers are great. 5 stars!!!!!!! Michela Hancock”

“I have been attending for 5 months and so look forward to my class with our teacher Bittu. He makes the class fun, breaks down the moves and really puts his heart and soul into the sessions with an added touch of humour. The classes are interactive and fun. The routines and songs are changed regularly, to challenge and keep us on our toes (literally) !! Bittu always makes time to go over the basic steps each lesson, and will throw in advanced moves to enable us to realise how much more there is to Bhangra. Look forward to the end of year performance. If you are thinking of joining, don’t think just join !!”

“This was my first umrah trip with my whole family, including my nephew who is only 1 years old. Masha’allah Global travel’s was very accommodating for all of our needs especially with a young baby. They were extremely helpful and friendly whenever we rang them. We were placed into very nice hotels and the airport transfer was smooth and on time. Special thanks to Mr Mansoor, from my dad - Tariq Ghazanfar, as he communicated with him. I would definitely recommend all to book their umrah packages with this company.”

“My skin looks amazing, and I'm constantly getting compliments! The skinbetter range and Jas's knowledge of what routine works for my skin is just great, it's all worked wonders. The peel pads are probably my favourite thing to use, burn for a few seconds, but my skin is all the better for it the next day.”

“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!”

“My son has been swimming with Goggle Squad since November and is really enjoying it. His confidence around the water has always been great but he’s been making rapid progress with the actual swimming since starting. The small classes with children of similar age really allow the teacher to focus on each child individually and the pool facilities are great too!”

“Our daughter has loved being apart of LGA. The teachers are fantastic and the culture first class.”

“My two children both swim with GoggleSquad Swimming School Surrey. My eldest preferes group lessons, she progresses week on week and really enjoys them. My son finds it difficult to remain focused in a group class so we have opted for 1:2:1 lessons, his teacher is outstanding and has the right balance of patience and firmness whilst also making the lessons fun. We are very happy with GoggleSquad and look forward to seeing them develop their skills.”

“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!!”

“Highly recommend these mechanics as they are superb at what they do. Consistent, reliable and amazing customer service. Had some work done on my Mercedes recently and the car feels brand new again after a previous mechanic did a botched job. Can’t thank them enough for the work they did on my car. 10/10 experience!”

“My oldest boy has been attending the Dance school since 2016 and Theatre School since 2018. He has transformed into a beautiful dancer and they have supported him outside Spotlight to attend the boys only days at Tring Park too. He has a beautiful group of friends there and the care and support is beautiful. His highlight of the summer holidays is the theatre school week Rachel offers and I love watching them all perform and have fun together especially when they did their boys only song together! He is excited to be a part of the senior theatre school this year and the older boys have taken him under their wing with the guidance of Mike. Thank You Spotlight for all you do x”
