Learning environments for all in London

“NCAD is a wonderful dance and musical theatre school run by Sarah Jackson. My daughter had tremendous fun during her time at NCAD, especially starring in their shows! Sarah manages to get the balance between laid back and encouraging ambition. Children who just want to have fun are welcome here and there are great opportunities for those who wish to take their performing arts seriously. You can take your dance G.C.S.E. and several NCAD protégées have gone on to star in West End shows. Class prices are very reasonable to so all in all this is a great place for your child to come to explore the performing arts and grow into a talented and successful professional if that's what they want to do.”

“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.”

“Had a private group lesson with my partner and his parents! They were so nervous because it was their first time doing any sort of dance class. Alex made everyone so comfortable and taught the class in the most engaging and warm way. I would 10/10 recommend her for any one who’s looking to introduce a little dance into their lives in a fun and engaging way ”

“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.”

“Wonderful nurturing, friendly and professional place. My daughter has a real sense of being properly trained in ballet at the age of 9, as there is formality in the form of uniform and exam preparation without it feeling too strict. She loved the chance to prepare for and perform in a show at Jackson’s lane. Highly recommend this excellent school.”

“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!”

“Both my daughters have been taken classes with Dakodas and love them! Acro in particular is an amazing mix of dance and gymnastics. But the overall highlight is the end of year show, a huge production and a big treat for parents and kids alike!”

“The Kensington Little Dance Academy has been our home away from home. We couldn’t be more grateful for Ms. Georgina’s ballet class and the incredible impact it has had on my children. Both my daughter (3) and son (2) absolutely adore their time in class, and it’s been amazing to see how much they’ve grown under Ms. Georgina’s guidance. The support and encouragement from both Ms. Georgina and Ms. Beth has been unwavering. I cannot recommend these classes enough!”

“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.”

“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 have danced with Luanda in her classes at the Acosta Dance Foundation in Woolwich, London. I have thoroughly enjoyed all the classes a found Luanda an exceptional dance tutor, very passionate, inspiring and most of all very professional. She gives you all the elements for learning the dances. She is really passionate about bringing the dance experience to everyone. She is very caring and you always feel supported because she adapts her teaching to suit you. I am also very impressed to see how Luanda has build her dance business here in London in a short time and it’s all down to her immense drive and passion. Thank you Luanda”

“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!”

“Gino is a lovely instructor, very professional and very patient. When I’m confused he always takes care to explain by demonstration. He has made learning Forró very approachable and fun. I would highly recommend coming to his classes.”

“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.”

“My 3y old joined the children ballet class and really loved it. The teacher was professional, gave individual attention, encouraging, correcting and reassuring them. Great way for training the little muscles and posture whilst having fun!”

“We have watched our daughter learn and experience so much since she has been with Dance Act. We have watched her grow her dance skills across many genres but also grow and develop as a person - being taught in a focussed, happy and inspiring environment by teachers who are not just good at what they do but make it enjoyable and fun for the children participating. Combining great teaching with a happy and expressive environment is exactly what Dance Act do. They actively promote the importance of teamwork and togetherness whilst also unlocking and building on induvial talent.”

“Fantastic ballet school. My daughter has been attending for the past few months. We have tried other ballet schools within the area, but found that there was not enough attention and ethos on learning, they seemed more focused on playing games and entertaining the children. With Nutcracker ballet school you really get a mixture of learning and fun. The lessons are very structured and allot of thought and effort goes into them. Would definitely recommend.”

“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 ♥️”

“Oliver & his team at PQA Richmond provide such a warm, positive environment. My daughter’s confidence has soared since she joined 4 years ago. She has made new friends & had some fantastic opportunities. Thank you PQA Richmond!”

“My Daughter has been going to stagecoach for many years now and really looks forward to her classes every Saturday. I’ve seen her confidence grow and stagecoach is definitely the one to thank for that. The experiences offered to the kids are brilliant, from doing shows at local fairs, workshops, and even big theatre productions. Felicity and the team are so passionate and professional, I would definitely recommend for any child who is interested in all things singing, dancing and acting!”

“We are so happy to have joined the Balham rainbow family! Kirsty, Flavia and all the staff have been so friendly and absolutely amazing with our son and made the settling in days much less anxious for us parents! It's great to see a smile on our son's face when he gets to Rainbow, he's clearly given lots of care and affection. They also organise nice events for kids and for parents. We are feeling very lucky to have found them!!”

“Love simply kids for wraparound care and holiday clubs. The team behind this business truly care for your children and go above and beyond. They are a special bunch.”

“Misha is great with kids! She is professional, friendly and patient and made each session enjoyable and fun for my daughter. She really tackled my daughter's sound errors and made her progress through a tailor made plan to improve her vocabulary and speech. I'm so grateful for the confidence she built in my daughter, and I would highly recommend.”

“I met Jonty when I was desperately seeking relief from anxiety. Anxiety was my pain. I had no idea what I was in for and didn’t even know what IFS therapy was. This experience and interaction with Jonty has been life changing for me. Jonty’s gentle ways allowed me to feel safe being at my most vulnerable and work through some deep emotions that I was suppressing. Learning how to feel and sit with my emotions through daily short meditations has been completely transformative. I am so thankful for his skills, the tools he has taught me, and the person he is, which let me connect with him and see and feel life in a different way. I am now able to accept the anxiety, which has eased it in ways I never thought was possible. I will forever be grateful for Jonty.”

“I’ve recently completed an Advanced EFT Practitioner course with Gavin and found both the course and Gavin’s teaching excellent. He is extremely knowledgeable on the subject matter and delivers it in a way that’s both easy to understand and apply. During the course, Gavin was supportive, always available to give help and guidance and any feedback was given promptly and in an encouraging way. I would heartily recommend the course to anyone thinking of adding Emotional Freedom Technique to their therapeutic toolbox. Thank you Gavin!”

“Toffee was looked after well here. The staff are friendly and helpful and really care about your pets wellbeing. I have no hesitation in rebooking with them.”

“Rupert took great care of Luna our year old playful but energetic cross breed. We had a peaceful weekend and she had a lively time. Would recommend Rupert’s to anyone who would like a peace of mind break. Will do this on a regular basis. Thank you so much Rupert”
