Dance academy in London

“My daughter has grown so much confidence whilst attending Hertsmere Academy of Dance and performing arts, the staff are so lovely and friendly. I would definitely recommend this performing arts school if your wanting your child to learn or build on the knowledge they already have.”

“Benjamin loves going to Boom arts ( he goes on a Friday and in the holidays). Paisley always greets us with a warm and friendly smile. Ben is especially fond of Sam and Miss Isla. Ben has grown in confidence and loves showing family members his newest moves! So proud of him achieving an Honours award in his dance exam. The whole team are amazing, organised, supportive, talented and understanding. Thank you to all the team for all their hard work. We appreciate you and highly recommend you.”

“I spent a total of 9 years attending classes at SRA (aged 9-18). The classes are fantastic, high quality and taught by amazing teachers- tap, ballet, jazz, contemporary, musical theatre were all highlights at my time here. The community is second to none and would recommend SRA to any parent looking to get their children into the performing arts. It has something for everyone ☀️”

“Really good club to learn the art form of Capoeira in a safe controlled environment. Club members are friendly and eager to help out. Coming from a different capoeira school I felt quite at home. Equal attention is given to teaching the music and culture connected to Capoeira. There are outdoor training sessions during summer. Sereia is a really great coach/teacher with a high level of mental and physical energy which is very contagious. Her classes are very accommodating to beginners and are structured for all levels. Her training methods are very organised and you’ll find your fitness level improving and progression at your game very quickly. Classes on Mondays and Wednesdays are a cartwheel away from Royal Oak station with ample parking around it. Friday class is at a great location across from Paddington station, plenty of pubs and restaurants for Friday evenings after training drinks and meals. Would highly recommend joining and training on a regular basis or just stopping by for a trial class to see it for yourself.”

“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!”

“My daughter has been dancing at Kliks for a few years, she absolutely loves it and dances individually, in pairs and part of a team. The Kliks coaches have developed her dancing skills and she has been extremely successful in the competitions. Kirsty, Lauren and Mia are all very professional and supportive. Highly recommend.”

“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!”

“I love coming to the dance classes! You get a good workout and Sumeet is an excellent teacher!”

“Both my daughters have spent many years at Ondine, which we have found to be absolutely brilliant. High quality teaching and an atmosphere of real camaraderie where they have made many friends. Would recommend across the full range of dance genres. They also love the shows!”

“My daughter absolutely lives and breathes Inspire Dance. She has made close friends, enjoys all her classes and the standard of teaching is exceptional. The performances and competitions are amazing (as a spectator!) and she loves taking part in them. Such a variety of classes on offer. Her confidence, passion and skills have all grown in her time there. Thank you.”

“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.”

“It’s such a lovely ballet dance school, professional and fun. My daughter loves going there. Miss India and other teachers( forgot names..) are amazing. They bring so much joy to the class while ensuring the children learning ballet dance. Highly recommend.”

“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!”

“Absolutely lovely and friendly atmosphere within this academy. The instructor is fantastic. Always enjoy the garba classes. A truly enjoyable and culturally enriching experience. The classes are well structured and the instructor is so enthusiastic. I have learned so much and made some great friends along the way . I highly recommend it to anyone looking to learn garba. Thank you so much Nehaben for your continuous effort for teaching garba.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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!”

“Take a class!! I highly recommend learning pole with Lia! I didn’t have a great deal of upper body strength despite always being fit but that all changed when I started pole classes at Pole Academy LDN. Fast forward a few years and I’m the strongest I’ve ever been and just love pole. I’m 50 and proud of what I’ve achieved so far, moving through from beginners to high intermediate/advanced. It's a really great full body workout, so much fun & I would recommend to everyone! The instructors and students are so friendly, body positive and welcoming. Give it a try!”

“PopGems is an incredible place where children can truly explore their creativity and talents. The staff are not only dedicated but also passionate about creating a positive, welcoming atmosphere where kids can dance, act, and sing in a fun and supportive environment. It's clear that a lot of hard work goes into making every class enjoyable, and it’s evident how much the kids love being there. I highly recommend PopGems to any parent looking for a place where their child can grow, have fun, and discover their creative potential. It’s been a wonderful experience!”

“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.”

“Charlie is an absolute star! We are a care home and all the residents love their workouts with Charlie! Cant recommend The Blair Academy enough.”

“Gino is a lovely instructor, very professional and very patient. When I’m confused he always takes care to explain by demonstration. He has made learning Forró very approachable and fun. I would highly recommend coming to his classes.”

“The tanguito buenos Aires 2025 trip was an amazing tango adventure! Bruno is not only an amazing tanguero but a generous and patient host who shared with us the warmth and hospitality of the local tango community! It's the perfect introduction into the birthplace of tango. I am already counting the days until my next tango adventure wii Bruno and the tanguito team!”

“Elementz provides excellent training for all ages. I highly recommend if you would like a career in dance. All Elementz teachers are highly skilled and will support you in your journey to your goals. Lindon creates a safe space with a great atmosphere what feels like a community, where you can grow as a dancer and it boosts your confidence. Elementz provide a space for growth, hard work and loads of fun!”

“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 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.”

“Oliver & his team at PQA Richmond provide such a warm, positive environment. My daughter’s confidence has soared since she joined 4 years ago. She has made new friends & had some fantastic opportunities. Thank you PQA Richmond!”

“My daughter whos 8 had her first show on a theatre stage 3 shows over the weekend , and my whole family was literally blown away with the outcome, we have watched her at school plays and we thought she may have had a little nerves being her first time singing on her own in front of a packed out theatre, but she literally left us bursting with pride as she sang on her own whilst dancing with her group, there was no way we was expecting that, we left the show Saturday night buzzing with excitement, we could not believe the confidence that she had , she was living her best life and it was all down to Farli and her amazing team, all the songs and dances was something else. They had every child giving there best over the weekend all the children was included and the energy from each child on that stage , gives you a warm fuzzy feeling that is hard to explain. As a parent you wouldnt want anything else when it comes to your child performing . We are still speechless. Farli literally is a super woman she makes sure your child reaches there full potential. We can not wait for the next one. I recommend csta to any parent who wants there child to reach there full potential.”

“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!”
