“Both our daughters have attended Dakoda’s and have loved all the classes they tried. Our youngest is there Saturdays and the teachers couldn’t be kinder, it’s a very special place with such a great vibe and spirit.”

“The best place to learn Latin and Ballroom. My lessons with Pedro are the highlight of my week! The classes make everyone feel so welcome and comfortable. Highly recommend Soul Dance whether you’re a beginner or advanced there is a happy place for everyone here.”

“Denise, Sarah and Sophie are just fantastic. Their passion for dance comes through in their teaching and they are truly committed to their dance pupils. The children have fun but also learn to dance with beauty and precision. My daughter has been dancing with them for 12 years and loves it.”

“My daughter attends this school and she always comes home from lessons feeling inspired to dance even more and work on the corrections she was given. She is always excited to go to lessons and expresses to me how she loves all of her classmates, teachers and dance. She describes her teachers as strict in the best way possible and appreciates them greatly. They are all very very friendly!”

“Four year old daughter loves going to yelo dance. Miss Lorraine is a star and the children love her. Very happy we’ve found yelo, a fantastic local service :D”

“Attending MK dance is a great way to build confidence and meet new people. New to dance as an adult can be daunting, but dancing through MK takes this away, they welcome dancers of all ages, experienced and non experienced. I have learnt the art of ballet and tap and love ever minute of it! The teachers are amazing, very welcoming and friendly and draw out the talent in every dancer in the class.”

“If you are looking for a dance school then look no further, Nadine has energy and enthusiasm to match, she makes you feel so comfortable no matter what your level is. Give her a go!”

“My 4year old attends the dance class every week, she absolutely loves it and always looks forward to going. Wendy, Jess and the girls are so engaging, patient and caring, they make it so much fun, you can see all the children blossoming. Highly recommended 5*, Thank you.”

“I have been doing the adults dance class at Voxta Dance Finchley for more than a year and it has been a truly amazing experience. The class is very engaging and fun, and a great way to bring your energy levels up. Justyna and Tomasz are very experienced in teaching dancers with different abilities and allow us to learn at our own pace. I can strongly recommend the class as it’s an opportunity to immerse yourself in elgance and grace while expressing yourself through dance. Thank you Voxta!”

“The most amazing group of women put their life and soul into West London Performing Arts Academy. This organisation supports all ability and is such a wonderful nurturing environment. My daughter is very shy and this has really helped her come out of her shell. I can’t recommend highly enough. ❤️”

“The London Stage School is a warm, inclusive school, where everyone is welcome. As someone who is not typical 'dancer' size, I have always felt accepted and confident attending classes here. If you have ever hesitated about taking classes, there is no reason to be hesitant about attending The London Stage School. Go for it!”

“A wonderful dance school for all ages!”

“Without any hesitation I would recommend West London school of Dance. The teachers are excellent and they include everyone regardless of their background. They are encouraging to their students and always teach with injury prevention in mind. They are highly skilled and get the best out of their students be it to build confidence, sociability, performance or dance/ballet technique. If you want to learn to dance for fun or more seriously, I can think of no better or safer hands than WLSD. An amazing school. UPDATE I am certainly not the same person as the other reviewers as Life Reportage suggests. My comments are honest and truthful. If you would like to see the quality of dancing and the excitement of the dancers then see for yourself at the WLSD Nutcracker Performance at the Shaftesbury Theatre this December. It is a great Ballet School.”

“Such a friendly dance place. The Wednesday drop in sessions are very inclusive and catering for every level.”

“The most wonderful joyful toddler class going! My daughter loves it, it’s a fantastic communal experience with a beautiful feel and unique spirit. A highlight of the week for us no question!”

“A lovely dance studio which is loved by everyone who attends. It doesn’t look much from the front but when you go inside it’s a large area perfect in size. The teachers are very welcoming and take time to get to know their students encouraging them with grading whilst still having fun. My daughters confidence has grown dramatically whilst attending dance classes here. A really lovely dance school that has been in the centre of Biggin Hill for many years. No other dance school could compete with this one”

“My child attends Miss Kristi's dance school, they learn, modern, ballet, and tap classes. My child and I have been impressed with Miss Kristi's exceptional teaching ability. Throughout the year, my child has made significant progress and gained valuable skills, which have not only helped them learnn to dance but also improved their balance, posture, and physical strength. I would like to extend my sincere thanks and appreciation to Miss Kristi for her dedication to excellence.”

“Miss Lauren and Miss Lea are fab teachers! They’re great with building confidence, patient and make ballet classes fun for the children.”

“The school has gone through a lot of change in recent years and is doing well. GCSE results are getting better. A place where the staff are dedicated to good teaching and helping the girls reach their full potential. A good place to learn. Lovely learning environment.”
