Dance school in London

“Massively enjoyed Jelena’s classes! I was quite nervous when I just started, being a complete novice in salsa. However, Jelena’s professional approach and easygoing personality made it so easy to fall in love with, relax and truly enjoy. Atmosphere in the class was very warm and friendly. Jelena’s attentive and patient guidance helped me both to develop my dancing skills and improve my confidence. Can’t recommend more!”

“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”

“Live 4 Dancing is a fantastic dance school that combines professional instruction with a welcoming atmosphere. Maria is highly skilled and passionate about ballroom and Latin dancing. She also goes the extra mile to ensure every student, regardless of experience, feels encouraged and supported. The classes are fun, and full of positive energy. Maria genuinely cares about helping students grow in both skill and confidence. A wonderful place to learn, move, and be inspired!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Dora when she taught us our first dance. She was extremely communicative, friendly, and made the two lessons a lot of fun! If you would like a choreographed first dance, I couldn’t recommend Dora more.”

“Adult contemporary class is the most rewarding thing I could do on Thursday evenings. Always open for experiments, fun and friendly environment. Lots of options to enjoy - either fancy warm-up, or space-filling diagonals, or new exciting choreo. And amazing opportunity to perform in front of friendly audience few times a year. I love our teacher Gemma - the most dedicated and cheerful person I ever know. Whoever wants trying - you are welcome to join a family of Sutton contemporary dancers!”

“We had visited quite a few nurseries for my 18-month old and and were thrilled to find Crafty Wizards preschool which unusually for a preschool takes from 18-months. We love the format that all ages are mixed together promoting peer learning and the setting is intimate and personal. The staff are wonderful and really care about the kids. There are two gardens, one of which is a bit like a small forest school with a mud kitchen, which our little one loves. Since day 1 he’s been so happy to be there with zero separation anxiety. Highly recommend to other parents who want something different to the usual nursery format.”

“I haven’t looked back since I joined Forever. Richard is a genius. His teaching is excellent, second to none, it’s so absorbing, extensive and endless such as technique, balance, character of dance, turns, swivels, spirals, leading, following, the hold , posture, count, timing , hip rotation pendulum action, swing, sway , foot positioning etc covering the wide array of Latin American and Ballroom dances in International style.I am totally engrossed. It’s of immense value to me. My friends and family have all commented that I have grown from strength to strength as a dancer in relatively short time 9 months and leaps and bounds compared to other places. Together with Jeni, I have all angles covered. Both are really attentive to the students in private classes and group classes to make sure we get it right, never taking their eyes off the ball, they don’t miss a thing. It’s quite exceptional how they focus on men and women in equal measure. One revelation to me is learning how to dance beautifully with anyone of any experience or standard , whether an absolute beginner or an advance professional dancer. . The Gala, Cabaret and Medal Nights are so slick, setting, choreography, lighting, photography. It’s so exciting to take part. One of the benefits of dancing, I find, is emotional and mental well-being which positively impacts all other areas of my life and which no medication can prescribe without serious side effects. The only serious side effect of this is becoming a FABULOUS DANCER.I am thrilled for myself that I am at Forever.”

“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 have been attending Neil's classes for some years and they are always very enjoyable and rewarding as he is a great teacher, whatever your level. He takes the time to explain and demonstrate all steps and the routine in detail and there is always a sense of achievement when learning a new skill in such a super environment. Neil's classes are also always great fun - he has a particular style and sense of humour, varied and well structured. We have also tried private lessons which are of great value. Rubies and Neil much deserve all success and are highly recommended!”

“Amazing nurturing sessions for aspiring ballerinas. Zoe puts her heart and soul into each and every session, always greeting the students with a smile and words of encouragement. She is friendly, approachable and really accomodating. My daughter has really enjoyed her sessions and gained a lot of valuable skills and experience.”

“Our family has been so impressed with the dedicated teaching at Jayne Marie Dancing School. Every child is developed to their full potential and the standard set is the highest. The pupils are entered for exams to mark their progress but also have the chance to experience the joy of taking part in shows produced to a professional standard . They learn to work hard and cooperate with others while having fun. I can highly recommend this school.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Our daughter dances at Caterham Dance School with Clara and Damian and their reputation for excellence is very well-deserved. From trying out a cha cha in the children's beginner class, through to competing in juvenile ballroom and latin competitions, they have been really supportive at every step - tailoring teaching and advice on technique to her abilities as they develop, and continuing to inspire her love of dance!”

“Absolutely Amazing Salsa Classes with Magda! Magda is truly a phenomenal salsa teacher. Her passion for dance is infectious, and it shines through in every class she teaches. From the very first session, she creates a welcoming and energetic atmosphere that puts everyone at ease, whether you're a complete beginner or more experienced. What makes Magda stand out is her ability to break down complex steps into easy, manageable parts while keeping the rhythm and excitement of salsa alive. She’s incredibly patient, encouraging, and always finds a way to make each class fun and engaging. You’re guaranteed to leave with a smile on your face and a few new moves under your belt! If you're looking for an inspiring, professional, and passionate salsa teacher, Magda is it. Her classes are not just lessons—they’re an experience. Highly recommended!”

“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.”

“Our daughter started dancing at Rochester School of Dance when she was 3- she's now 6, and loves it more than ever. The ethos and feel of the school is just lovely- supportive, encouraging and has taught our daughter so much more than dance. Couldn't recommend highly enough!”

“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!”

“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”

“My daughter has been going since she was 3 years old and she absolutely loves it. Ms Natalie is such a wonderful teacher and the children are all well behaved and she is liked by many parents. The show performances are very high standard and it's wonderful to see how your children can show off their achievements.”

“My daughter enjoys attending Elena's ballet school. she use to attend a different school but was not enjoying it and was not showing her full potential. We joined Elena's class and she absolutely loves it, she always looks forward to her class..”

“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.”

“My sons and daughter have been attending SNTS for many years and they love it. The teachers are incredible, both in their teaching ability, but also how much they care about the students. The SNTS Shows give great experience for students to perform on a stage and go through the process of performance - and my children are already excited about the 2024 show. Best dance school in North London!”

“My partner and I have had a great time learning to ballroom dance with Paul. We have picked the steps up really quickly, and he teaches a great selection of ballroom and latin styles. His sessions are laid back and fun, and we have a great time every week.”

“I completed the beginner and advanced classes over the summer and absolutely loved them! Colette and Robin were great at explaining each step of learning and we left feeling inspired watching them dance after their demonstrations! The class was a great size and everyone was very friendly and kind to us. Despite not knowing how to dance, by the end of the course I was shocked at how much I had learnt! They also helped introduce us to places we could keep practicing and dancing in London. It was a lovely part of the week to look forward to and I would absolutely recommend!!”
