Dance classes for beginners in London

“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!”

“My daughter has been taking a Ballet class and a performing arts class in Kingston. She absolutely loves both classes. All teachers are very professional, kind and patient. They had a lovely show at the end of 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!!”

“We had a first dance lesson with Emma for our wedding and she was excellent. She helped us improve our routine so much and made the experience very fun! It really felt like she cared about our dance and that we had a good time. We would definitely recommend her and First Dance Studios.”

“I strongly reccomend this dance school, my boys did warrior dance (I believe now renamed BBz creative) which is a great way to approach dance while having fun. This year they want to go back for proper ballet, clearly the initial fun approach worked for them!”

“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.”

“Great one to one lesson in very well organised and covid safe eviornment!”

“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.”

“Excellent experience taking a class with Liani! She teaches Samba technique with passion and great knowledge, paying attention to stamina, musicality and authenticity. Lots of great tips and tricks to level up your samba - highly recommended!”

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

“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.”

“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!”

“I’ve just started my second course with Hasina as this is exactly what I was looking for! Choreo oriented belly dancing lessons give you a great pace of learning and enjoyment. I love every second of it and highly recommend to anyone wanting to try some classes”

“Such an incredible place to train pole dancing. The owner Veronica is an amazing instructor who puts her heart into teaching and making her students better and better each time. I had an incredible time when I was going there, I could see a great improvement in my strength and flexibility over only a couple of months. The atmosphere at the studio is super friendly, the instructors are lovely and helpful. The studio itself is well looked after, clean and spacious. There's always water and snacks available for students. I never experienced any problems when attending classes at Exotica Pole Dance and if I could, I'd spend all my time there. It's the best place to go to if you want to become a great pole dancer.”

“My daughter has been attending the holiday camps at the Rosy Thompson Academy of Dance for a few years now. The camps are energetic, engaging and offer a great balance between having fun, confidence building and the opportunity to make new friends of a similar age. My daughter certainly enjoys the camps! Watching her perform in the end of week mini show is a great opportunity to witness first hand the progress she has made..... and the smile on her face!”

“We attended a private commercial/hip-hop dance class for a hen do and everything was excellent! The Events Team were very responsive and reliable throughout the booking process. Our dance class was with Wallis who was fabulous! She had an amazing energy which put us all at ease and got us in the mood! She choreographed a fab routine that perfectly suited our mixed-ability/experience group and we all had so much fun. It’s definitely made us want to come back for some of her regular classes in the future! Would highly recommend!”

“What a lovely dance school! The teachers are really lovely and my son found it incredibly welcoming and enjoyable. Thank you.”

“Beautiful space for dance lessons, particularly for children, very close to Roman road and Victoria Park. Only problem is a 3rd floor and there is no lift, so people with mobility problems will have a hard time. You can rent it for rehearsals, birthday parties and more.”

“I've been going to this place for aerial hoop and I had a great and fun experience in there! The Spanish teacher (Irene) has a great technical skills to teach all the tricks and transitions while making sure you are safe!. If you are thinking of starting aerial hoop I strongly recommend this place!”

“We had our daughter 9th birthday at footlights. Very welcoming and kids really enjoyed the party. Definitely recommended for parties ☺️”

“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 !!”

“When I first joined Give Into Dance I was immediately blown away by the friendly atmosphere and the fun classes. I made friends almost instantly and to this day, over ten years later, the people I met at GID are still some of my closest friends. Briony is an incredible teacher, she makes everyone feel welcome, and no matter what level you are at, Briony, along with everyone in the class makes you feel completely at ease. The amazing variety of dance styles, choreography and routines keep you on your toes whilst giving you an amazing workout. Performing in the annual shows gives you something to work towards, and a huge sense of achievement afterwards, all whilst making amazing memories with a wonderful group of people. Unlike many other dance classes out there, GID doesn't have an elitist vibe or make you feel like an outsider if you're new or a beginner, you instantly feel welcomed and relaxed and the classes are a fun and happy place, the perfect escape from the stresses of everyday life!”
