Dance school in Richmond

“Absolutely gorgeous space in the heart of East London. I have been renting it for my yoga classes and I'm very pleased with the quality of the space, sound, location and lovely people running this venue. Highly recommend.”

“My daughters 8th birthday ‘Dance Party’ hosted by Marble Hill Dance Studios was 100% fabulous fun. All the guests enjoyed the high energy party games and loved learning a dance routine to my daughters music choice of Taylor Swift. Both Lizzie and Ariella were fantastic entertainer and engaged the children thorough out. It was brilliant how they taught the kids a dance routine and the parents really enjoyed returning to see the performance at the end, many thanks”

“What an impressive building in the middle of the Richmond park. Commissioned in 1725 as a hunting lodge for George I, White Lodge remains part of the Crown Estate to this day and partly housing the well known The Royal Ballet School. Here a little bit of a history: A misunderstood politician John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute (1713–1792) was appointed Ranger of the Park by George III in 1761 and took up residence at White Lodge. In 1801, George III assigned White Lodge to Henry Addington (a middle-class Prime Minister), later Viscount Sidmouth, as a ‘grace and favour’ residence. Addington, who served as Prime Minister from 1801 to 1804, remained at the Lodge until his death in 1844. The Empress Elizabeth of Austria-Hungary (Sissi) (1837–1898) stayed at White Lodge for the hunting season in the summer of 1874. In 1881 Sir Henry Irving and Ellen Terry were guests, the famous Victorian actors, who had recently starred at the Lyceum Theatre as Hamlet and Ophelia in Shakespeare’s tragic play of Hamlet. In January 1912, the famous ballerina, Anna Pavlova, and her partner, Laurent Novikoff, performed at Richmond Theatre with the members of the Company of the Imperial Ballet, St Petersburg. Many decades later, students of The Royal Ballet School would follow in Pavlova’s footsteps, dancing each summer at Richmond Theatre during the 1970s and 1980s. On 13 August 1924, there was another royal birth at White Lodge. Prince Aleksander Pavlov Karadorevic was born to Princess Olga of Greece and Denmark and Prince Paul of Yugoslavia, in the same room as that in which Prince Edward of Wales had been born, 30 years earlier. The marriage of Mrs Reynolds Albertini and Colonel James Veitch of the Coldstream Guards was reported in the Evening News on 12 April 1950. They continued to occupy White Lodge after the war, and hosted Marshal Tito there when he came to England on a state visit, March 1953. The Foreign Office agreed to Tito’s entourage being 29 strong, but let only 12 reside with him at White Lodge. For security reasons, Tito was not accommodated in a London. During the Autumn Term of the new academic year 1955/6, the first cohort of students boarding at White Lodge had to travel to their daily lessons at the School's Colet Gardens site in Barons Court, as the Stable Block classrooms were not yet ready.”

“Both my two daughters attended this school It is an amazing school with amazing staff And I will be sending my third daughter here also.”

“Mona is lovely and she is amazing with kids. Our daughter had a wonderful party thanks to her!”

“Teachers are amazing so kind and supportive it made me feel special and cared for. Help you with all kinds of difficulties in any dance.”

“We love this camp - we’ve been coming for the past 3 years, and always look forward ✨”

“Amazing wonderful fantastic..been dancing here for many years with 2 daughter's...”

“I have wanted to do dance classes for all of my adult life and always chickened out due to stage fright/anxiety, fear of being judged and under qualified at even “casual” classes. At the start of this year I pulled the trigger and did some taster sessions at Studio K and never looked back. All the instructors and members are so welcoming and friendly. A variety of levels of fitness and body types (which is refreshing, especially in ballet!) and everyone from people who have never danced to seasoned dancers. It has been a wonderful social experience and chance to be able to indulge in a range of dance styles I never thought I’d be able to do in the same place plus a discovery of others (Waacking is life changing). I only wish I had time to go more often! Thank you Studio K - especially Ginger and Sarah who I normally do classes with. Try out the taster sessions - you won’t regret it!”

“I highly recommend Mundo Latino for salsa and bachata. The teachers, Carlos, Chandy and Rosie are very professional but have a fun side too. Everyone is welcoming and everyone supports and helps each other to practice no matter what your level. The parties are really good too!”

“I discovered this great place where I had snow amazing dance experience. I learnt Bachata & Salsa. Not far from East Putney Station. Pleasant atmosphere, good music and great energy among everyone. This is a monthly party which attracts many dancers. Definitely recommend it for the energy and to dance Bachata & Salsa.”

“MV Academy are wonderful! My daughter had lost a lot of confidence but MVA have been nothing but full of encouragement and focussing on what she can do, whilst gently supporting her dancing goals. Her love of dance is back - thank you!”

“My daughter loves her ballet and tap dance classes at Kew Academy of Performing Arts. She started a few months ago and always looks forward to her Saturday classes. She loves Miss Vicky, Miss Emily and Miss Lulu : )”

“Trying to find a place where they will explain what your problems are without being pushy to buy the most expensive item on the shelf is quite rare these days. Edgar was professional and yet made me feel relaxed as he went through the various foot issues I am experiencing, leaving me with a complete understanding of what I need to do next. What I really appreciated, was when he suggested that I go home and think about all the information I received. I have already suggested to a few of my friends to rather go to Foot Solutions for an assessment. Thanks Edgar.”

“All the guys at the desk are super helpful. The facilities are excellent, I used to play badminton there when it had the Whitton "Dome" visible from the A316, but now it's been brought bang up to date with the new school buildings. The only slight downside is that a badminton training there is more expensive than Hampton with the danger amount of time and the same coach”
