Fun learning experiences in London

“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!!”

“We have loved ballet classed with Miss Lika. Since our daughter was small she has really enjoyed the classes. Prima School of Ballet make their classes fun, very engaging and really inspiring and as a result our daughter has developed a love for ballet. We highly recommend them.”

“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!”

“David and Kim teach with such grace and care … firstly to actually teach proper leading and following; but secondly, to build and craft the group ethos in their classes where you can focus on your technique and learning at the same time as connecting with like-minded people who love to dance. They are true professional dance teachers and we have seen so many people (me and my partner included) go from absolute beginner to being able to dance confidently in social milongas under their tutelage”

“This is the BEST most fun Salsa class I have been to. Mohammed is the most brilliant teacher, patient, fun and fantastic at teaching! Really couldn’t recommend this Salsa class more. Truly the best experience!!”

“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:)”

“Personally, the best social salsa party in London! Perfect combination of high level dancers, great music and friendly atmosphere. I'm always leaving this place buzzing and thinking 'what a great night it was' even the next day.”

“Just started my course at AYA and I’m so impressed with the teaching style and atmosphere. I was so scared to start something like this in a group but everyone was welcoming and the tutor took time to watch us individually and guide us. Venue wise, my sat nav took me to the road before Oakley but I quickly realised to follow it around, taking two right turns and that brings you to the front of the South Norwood venue.”

“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!”

“Dilek is the best ballet teacher I’ve ever trained with. She really cares about the individual improvement of all her pupils and pushes you to be the best dancer you can be. The atmosphere she creates at the school and in her classes is friendly, supportive and fun. As an adult ballet dancer, I could not recommend her enough!”

“I’ve been meaning to visit this studio for a while, but after a bad experience at another one near where I live, I held off. I usually take private lessons because the community in my area isn’t very welcoming or diverse (I don’t live in London). One day after work, I realised this studio is only about 15 minutes from my office in London so I decided to stop by for open pole. I’m so glad I did! I met Akila, who was absolutely the sweetest, and all the girls I met that night were so kind and amazing and inspiring and confident. The whole vibe was so positive and welcoming. The studio is pretty af and so is everyone in it! I’ll definitely try to come back for classes but if not, I’ll be here for open pole for sure!”

“Great and really dedicated school! Professional teachers, very kind, and strict. We love the results of classes, and how involved and happy our daughter with her dancing!”

“Filippo at Tango for You is an inspirational tango teacher who works specifically with your individual needs and builds on them so you can become proficient in tango dancing. He is methodical and persistent with the basic foundation steps so that you gain confidence in your dancing. He is very motivational and always provides constant feedback that helps you build on your skills. Above all his positivity and constant praise on your progress is what brings everything together and makes your lesson each time the most enjoyable dancing experience ever. I highly recommend him for those who are passionate about learning tango dancing and want to learn from the best!”

“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.”

“The Razz team make sure that all children are included, valued and happy, they provide children with the opportunity to performe in a wide range of varied places ie Shaftsbury avenue, Queens theatre, amazing marquee at Barleylands, shopping centres, festivals etc.”

“My daughter Milan has been attending Razzamataz for nearly 2 years and she loves it here. She looks forward to her Wednesdays and really loves her teachers Paige and Kacey. Couldn’t recommend enough ♥️”

“My son and daughter both enjoy coming to Razzmatazz. They love the singing and dancing and always want to perform again home what they have learnt. The teachers seem fun and enthusiastic. It's a really lovely drama school!”

“We’ve been coming to baby sensory classes with Alex for 7 months and we absolutely love them! The classes have lovely creative elements that keep the babies entertained. It’s also nice to take a break from having to entertain your baby yourself and meet other mums.”

“Our two sons are currently attending Playdays, in the baby room and in the preschool room. We are extremely happy with the nursery. The staff is very kind and caring and most of them have been around for many years which is great as a lot of nurseries nearby have a high staff turnover. The nursery is very well managed by Miss Kerry and everything runs smoothly. The children have the opportunity to do lots of activities (baby yoga, dance, french, swimming...) as well as regular trips to the park. We would 100% recommend this nursery to parents.”

“Two of my children have attended this nursery and both absolutely loved their experiences. Both developed strong bonds with the staff and my daughter currently attending just adores them and they have been a brilliant support in her care and development since she was 9 months old. Now that they have moved to a new premises the setting itself cannot be faulted, they have beautiful classrooms and an outside space that the children can run around and play which was the only downside with the old building.”

“Jeanette has looked after our 2 guinea pigs twice already this year and we cannot recommend the Ranch highly enough. Guinea pigs were well-looked after, nails trimmed and even video links of them playing (which the kids enjoyed watching when we said the guinea pigs were staying in their hotel too). Have already booked again - 5/5 customer service too!”

“Natalia looked after our guinea pigs a couple of times whilst we were away and she did an absolutely fantastic job! She kept them company, provided a stimulating environment and updated us regularly with pictures. On one occasion, I contacted Natalia the night before we went away as we booked a last minute break and she was really flexible and super helpful! You can trust Natalia 100% with your pets and your home. We would recommend her a million times over! Thank you so much for looking after our piggies and home so well!”

“Our golden absolutely loves his walkies with Rachel and Kirsten, and is beside himself every week when he gets picked up. They are reliable, punctual and efficient. It has been so great to have their help to take him out. We can always tell he has had a great time! Thank you team!!”

“Mel is simply the best dog walker. She genuinely adores all her dogs and treats them as if they were her own. I trust her 100% with my dog who has grown in confidence with other dogs since having the gentle, unhurried outings with Mel. If Mel has space for your pup, don’t hesitate to use her. You’ll have 5 star care and treatment with amazing communication and loads of flexibility.”

“Sib is an amazing professional, best groomer Brownie ever experienced, he looked and smelled fantastic. Will definitely go back and recommend. He was so happy when we collect him like he had a great time.”

“The team at Penguins Palace Swimming Company has been absolutely fantastic and very professional. My son's swimming instructor, Aaron, has been exceptional with him. My son attends a group session and I have not been disappointed in any way. The level of attention given to each child, including my son, is outstanding. Aaron ensures that every child receives the necessary attention and focuses on their individual areas of improvement. We are constantly updated and involved through WhatsApp, which I find incredible. Honestly, I have tried other local swimming pools that offer lessons and I was not impressed and saw no progress. However, since my son started here, I have seen a remarkable 100 percent improvement. He can now swim and is no longer afraid of the water, which was our main goal. The environment is very enjoyable and my son is always excited to attend his swimming lessons because of the caring and friendly atmosphere that Penguins Palace provides. Every penny I spend has been well worth it.”

“A perfect venue for organising a kids party: very clean and cozy, with lots of toys, balloons, well-organised and convenient, with very helpful Sandra. :) We celebrated 1 year birthday of our 7 NCT group kids and it went very well, everyone enjoyed it a lot!”

“I had a trapeze class and I wasn't sure what to expect but a big desire to give it a try. It was a dream from childhood I never got to experience up until this point. Teachers were friendly, attentive, careful and very supportive. I felt so safe that I relaxed and enjoyed so much. I cannot wait to be back! GORILLA CIRCUS you guys are amazing! I had the best time!”
