The 30 Best Dance school in London

“I am thrilled to share our experience with the ballet and performance classes! This is our second year, and my daughter couldn't be happier. The teachers are truly amazing—dedicated, supportive, and incredibly talented. They create a nurturing environment that encourages the students to express themselves and grow in their skills. We've seen remarkable progress in my daughter's confidence and technique, and it's been a joy to watch her passion for dance flourish. The classes are well-structured and engaging, making learning fun for all the kids. We wholeheartedly recommend these classes to everyone looking for a positive and enriching experience in dance. It's been a wonderful journey for us, and we can't wait to see what the future holds!”

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

“My daughter has attended Spotlights since she was 3 and absolutely loves it. She just participated in her first proper production in a theatre and it was a fantastic experience for her. The teachers are really enthusiastic, nurturing and patient - would highly recommend”

“Really good classes and affordable. Management is very helpful as well. Super team !”

“My son is off to this drama school for a week today. He was lucky enough to get a place again this year. Training from professional theatre actors and question and answer session. Masterclasses in various stage techniques or make-up etc etc and a trip to see a westend show this year it's gatsby. The end of the week they preform in his majesty's theatre infront of parents family friends and industry experts. It is a world class experience with children and young people travelling worldwide to attend. My son made friends from around the world last year who he has kept in contact with and he is happy that they are in the same accommodation time slot this year. It's fully chaperoned and safe and an amazing experience opportunity if you are artistic and love theatre.”

“A great stage school with fantastic teachers who work very hard to get the best out of all of their students. Each year I'm so impressed with their shows which take place at The Towngate Theatre. They are delivered to an extremely high standard and you can tell that all the students love taking part. My daughter loves going to San-Marie!”

“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.”

“Both my girls attend flipside and love it. My oldest has been coming for 8 years now. They’ve both made some great friends, love the teachers and thoroughly enjoy dancing. The shows that Flipside put on, are incredible too. Such a fantastic dance school!”

“Just attended their 6 day summer intensive 2023. It was amazing. Brilliant really! They had a good long day, with a combination of ballet, contemporary and creative dance every day. I enjoyed the end of week show. I made one or 2 friends, teachers were awesome too. The studios are well presented with good flooring. The changing rooms and toilets are unisex but you could enquire ahead like me to have access to a staff toilet or singular disabled toilet if that is more comfortable or needed. At the end I was given a Rambert t-shirt and bag merchandise for attending the intensive. I think I will come back next summer. The area is just lovely too because Rambert Ballet School is just 3 minutes walk to the Richmond Lock over Thames River.”

“My daughter has been going to innovation dance for the past 4 years. Emma and crew have been fantastic supporting her through any tough times she had experienced.my daughter loves the street dance and loves the troup. She has made many friends as the group is a kind and fun way to socialise after school. During covid innovation dance was amazing providing zoom lessons and interacting so much that she never felt alone. My daughter continues to dance of a weekend as school works abit full on during the week, anyone that's looking for a fun caring environment for their child and if they have a interest in dance then I 100 percent recommend them joining this fab studio. shows at questors is fantastic and I'm so pleased my child has been a part of this team as its built her strength stamina and agility that she would not have acquired had she not had the opportunity to dance here. I thank Emma and team as they are literally the best that I know Monique barker”

“First class training. Professional environment. I achieved a degree in 3 years. BA, life changing.”

“I cannot thank Miss Ari and Eos Dance school enough for the ongoing support my daughter received. Due to personal circumstances we had to relocate to London and whilst staying in a temporary accommodation, I reached out to Miss Ari enquiring about a concession for my daughter, explaining how much she loved Balet. Miss Ari was very understanding and accommodating. The enrolment process was easy enough to follow. She even provided the uniform and offered extra classes to my little ballerina. My daughter loves miss Ari and still remembers her teacher. We have now moved to another area in London and although my daughter no longer attends Eos Dance school due to the distance involved, she still carries on with Balet and I am forever grateful for the support we received at the most difficult time in our lives. Would definitely recommend Eos Dance School to everyone.”

“Very welcoming academy. I have been student for half a year and I am very happy with the teachers and with the relaxed and fun environment for learning. I have had Newton and Katrina as regular teachers for months, and I would totally recommend both as they are very nice, patient and fun to learn from.”

“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 absolutely loves coming to Dawson’s! All of the teachers are so lovely, especially Miss Elin who is approachable & has genuine care & pride for her students. We are now part of the Baby Team & cannot wait to represent the school in competitions! Would highly recommend DSPA!”

“Great experience finding this gem of a shop and the very helpful lads that work there. My son has been searching for a yoyo, and we couldn't have picked a better place to get one. The staff showed him the best beginner option, how to use it, fit and cut the string for him, and included a little booklet of instructions and tricks. He's had it one day, and he's having loads of fun with it. Thanks to the staff for giving him such a great experience.”

“Great nursery! Great communication and support. My children’s needs are always met.”

“My daughter really likes this school! Professional teachers who always put their heart and soul into working with children. Very surprised by the bad reviews! We were delighted with the concert! It's worth every penny paid for it. I highly recommend this school”

“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!”

“Beautiful studios and superb teaching with Bethany Ramsey”

“I was thoroughly impressed by the facilities at Unit3 studios. The studio is incredibly spacious, never feeling crowded. What stands out the most is the impeccable cleanliness – the floors, mirrors, and change rooms are always spotless. The sound system is high-quality, and the ventilation is excellent, so it never gets stuffy. Dancing here feels like a luxury. It’s clear that great thought has been put into creating a comfortable and inspiring space.”

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

“Bollywood Dance School is a place that inspires and motivates individuals from all walks of life. Having been a student of Shruti and Rohan for the past 12 years, I can confidently say that the learning never stops, every class brings something new and exciting! Their vision for dance is extraordinary. Alongside creative instructor Diya, they bring fresh, innovative ideas to every performance. This isn’t just another pop-up dance class. The instructors here are deeply dedicated, training each student to reach their full potential across a range of styles — from contemporary to hip-hop — all culminating in a spectacular showcase. I highly recommend Bollywood Dance School to anyone aged 4 and up. It’s never too early or too late to start your dance journey here!”
