The 30 Best Dance instructor training 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.”

“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”

“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've danced with Michael & Jowita for over a year now, all through lockdown on zoom and I've loved every minute. Their classes are fun lively and they cater for everyone's needs from a beginner to more advanced. They break the steps down and by the end of the class we know a small routine. They are such lovely people and very down to earth and would highly recommend being taught by the best. If I lived closer I would attend live classes without about a doubt Feb 2022 - online classes are still continuing and still so much fun every week. You think signing up to a dance class that is what you will get with Michael & Jowita , well you couldn't be so far from the truth!!! We have guest appearances from Rodger The Cat who is cheeky and loves to join in, The Robot Hoover who likes to go for a spin around the dance floor too, whilst creating magical choreography to a fabulous tune and nothing gets Past Michael and Jowita with their High Definition camera to give constructive feedback and just because you are on Zoom and you think he cant see you - well think again lol!!! They are an amazing couple and hope to join them one day for a face to face class”

“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!”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“Me and my fiancé took lessons with Paul here prior to our wedding. Paul was a great teacher and helped us come up with a routine and perfect this over a couple of lessons. Everyone has said they loved our first dance”

“Such a fun class. Malika is a great teacher, she empowers you to trust your own movement in a welcoming environment. Everyone in the class is super friendly and it’s super fun while learning a lot. Thank you Malika:)”

“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!”

“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!”

“My 9 years old daughter has had the best few years training with Katie Cox Dance Studio. She started with just ballet but her love of dance grew and now she does tap, lyrical, acro and jazz too! She has flourished in such a nurturing environment and made some amazing friends. She loves her teachers and is always so happy when we are on the way to lessons. The effort that goes into each child to bring the best out of them is amazing and all the students really cheer each other on and celebrate each other’s achievements. Both students, teachers and parents come together to put on amazing events and shows. I can’t wait to see what else Katie Cox Dance Studio can do over the next few years!”

“We booked sessions with captiv8 dance to prepare for a wedding dance at the suggestion of my fiancé. I want massively bothered about it but went along with it. It turned out to be one of the most fun bits of the wedding prep. Oya is such a good teacher, so flexible and so enthusiastic. She doesn't teach you just a routine but how to dance. We found the practice to be an ideal antidote to wedding stress. When it came to the wedding we nailed it, and it felt so good. We even did our dance at home the day later as we missed it. We're planning on doing follow up lessons as we loved it so much!”

“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.”

“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.”

“My 3y old joined the children ballet class and really loved it. The teacher was professional, gave individual attention, encouraging, correcting and reassuring them. Great way for training the little muscles and posture whilst having fun!”

“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!”

“Welcoming, friendly and fun! There were a few absolute beginners like me in the class and within the hour we were able to move around the dancefloor and enjoy the music. Great atmosphere at the social dancing after the class. You can bring up your drinks and the bar staff will bring food orders upstairs too. Highly recommend!”

“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 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.”

“Both my girls attend dance classes at Siegeris Dance (tap and modern for one, and ballet and modern for the other). The teachers are all wonderful and even in these strange times are providing brilliant classes on zoom. My girls always bounce into and out of their classes. Highly recommend!”

“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:)!!”

“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!”
