Personalized dance instruction in London

“I found this dance studio online and went for a trial session this Friday. The venue itself is easy enough to get to via Uber or public transport (a walk to St James Park UG). The people who work there couldn't have been nicer, very welcoming and knowledgeable! I met my dance instructor and we had a short intro discussion about what I'd like to learn / achieve before getting on the dance floor. The space is brilliant and the team are incredibly friendly and hospitable - I have signed up for lessons and would definitely recommend to anyone who wishes to learn. Hot tip for newbies, wear flat shoes.”

“Me and my fiancé took lessons with Paul here prior to our wedding. Paul was a great teacher and helped us come up with a routine and perfect this over a couple of lessons. Everyone has said they loved our first dance”

“It was a pleasure to have met Stefan. We highly appreciated Stefan’s talent, dedication and passion towards dance and sharing the joy of dancing with others. We were looking for a wedding first dance pack and were really lucky to get the flexibility of fitting the lessons in our busy diary. We were made to feel very comfortable and confident which is not always simple when you are new to the spotlight. Stefan’s friendly attitude made the learning experience fun and motivated us through the course, as well as he ensured the choreography was tailored to our personality. Would definitely recommend Stefan to any couple preparing for the special weeding dance or anyone looking to improve their dancing skills. Stefan, thank you for everything!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Dora when she taught us our first dance. She was extremely communicative, friendly, and made the two lessons a lot of fun! If you would like a choreographed first dance, I couldn’t recommend Dora more.”

“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.”

“Welcoming, friendly and fun! There were a few absolute beginners like me in the class and within the hour we were able to move around the dancefloor and enjoy the music. Great atmosphere at the social dancing after the class. You can bring up your drinks and the bar staff will bring food orders upstairs too. Highly recommend!”

“My children love Bethany’s classes, they have attended the weekly classes and today they went to the holiday workshop. Bethany and her team are so good with the children and everyone has such a good time. It’s amazing how quickly they learn the routines for the show at the end and how confident they are performing.”

“My son, he is 16 years old, he started attending ESDA this January. He has been learning HipHopDance since he was 8 years old in the U.S. We were looking for a cool dance school where he could use his experience and we found ESDA. We also appreciate the regular competitions, show times, and exams to measure his ability. We also appreciate the connections to event shows and the opportunity to showcase our dances at events.”

“My 4 year daughter has been going here for about 7 months. It is honestly fantastic. Andrei is amazing at getting the kids to follow the routines and teaches them ways so it's easy for them to remember. My daughter absolutely loves the class”

“Suzy was amazing at helping us with our first dance for our wedding day. We knew what we wanted and she was quick to help us with our two left feet and quickly created a routine that helped us feel confident that on the day of our wedding we would be able to look like we knew what we were doing. The time spent with her was really enjoyable and we left each session with a drive to keep practicing and desire to do more lessons in the future! Our wedding day first dance went really well and thats all down to Suzy's expert tuition - thanks Suzy!”

“Both my girls attend dance classes at Siegeris Dance (tap and modern for one, and ballet and modern for the other). The teachers are all wonderful and even in these strange times are providing brilliant classes on zoom. My girls always bounce into and out of their classes. Highly recommend!”

“The most friendly and lovely dance class in London:) I have been with Street Dance London for over a year and it has always been an absolute pleasure to attend all the classes, all the teachers are really nice and encouraging and everybody is really supportive. There are lots of classes and locations to choose from so highly recommended for anyone who loves to dance!! It doesn’t matter if you are a complete beginner or experienced dancer, you will find a class which is great for you to enjoy:)!!”

“We are so pleased with our daughter’s growth and confidence in her ballet classes! She is constantly talking about ballet and says ‘my ballet school’ anytime we walk past. She’s almost 2.5 years old and I know her classes will support her confidence in everything she does. Ms Amy is an amazing teacher and so supportive. Thank you!”

“I booked a private lesson with Maria through the Salsa Tropical website and was really impressed with Maria's expert knowledge and teaching style. Her style of teaching is fun and engaging and she is very focused on technique and style. As a result I have been having private lessons every week for the past 4 Months. Overall I would most certainly recommend Salsa tropical if you are looking to start or improve your salsa dancing.”

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

“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”

“I am Claudia i love diversity and i met diversity the last year”

“My 4-year-old has been going to BDS for about 9 months in the Toddler class... initially I was nervous as I thought she’d enjoy it but she’d had a rocky start to Nursery with not wanting to leave me etcetc. But Judy has a way of relaxing the kids whilst keeping them focused and progressing in their dancing. R. loves her classes and friends there. My daughter did her first exam in July and took part in a show - throughout, Judy kept the children relaxed and happy about both. I was amazed that my sometimes shy child was able to perform happily and the show as a whole was fantastic.”

“My daughter went to LAGAD a few years ago but recently re-joined after trying a few more gymnastics clubs. My daughter was nervous joining as she thought she would not be as good as other girls and would not be able to keep up. I can't stress how gorgeous this club is, from the minute we joined (even halfway through the term) Julia, the manager, helped and guided us to get the right class to suit my daughter. She was looked after incredibly well, guided, and settled in a brilliant class – now she has found her group and made a whole new group of friends. Not many clubs hit the right note with staff, communication to parents, and children being brilliant, taught, and looked after... Rarely write reviews but a massive thanks to Julia and all the staff for starting my daughter off on her gymnastic journey; amazing."”

“Footlights Theatre Dance School is an outstanding dance school for children of all ages. I started taking my step daughter there from the age of 4 and more recently my daughter who is aged 3 has been with them for almost one year. My daughter thrives and enjoys her ballet classes so much. The teachers come with such professionalism but also fun and excitement for the children. The quality of this dance school is exceptional and there is no better place than Footlights to guide your child through their dancing journey.”

“Lauren is lovely and makes the classes really fun, so the kids love going. I think any age group and ability would enjoy her lessons. I fancy a go at 35!”

“Nice spread of dancers from beginner to advanced, so something to keep everyone happy. Cheap drinks too!”

“This class is great for beginners and experienced belly dancers, I had a great time learning in a lovely welcoming class ! Dorte is a great teacher too :)”

“Good location, reasonable prices and very friendly and helpful”

“Tina is a wonderful dance teacher with great passion in what she does and who really cares for teaching the children, helping them progress within their dancing. Highly recommend tiptoes! Very pleased.”

“we are satisfied with the professional conduct of the classes”

“Amanda taught my daughter in private virtual acrobatics classes. She was always very professional and knowledgeable. Amanda spent a good amount of time focusing on proper technique and progressions that were holistic and based on correct biomechanics. My daughter gained a lot of strength and flexibility through her lessons and learned to be mindful of her technique. Amanda also made sure to instill discipline in regular practice while also explaining corrections. We love Amanda!”

“My daughter loves coming to her dance class with Traceworks. I loved watching the class and seeing her beautiful dancing. The teacher was fantastic and overall I was very impressed.”

“My daughters aged 5 and 8 attend the Sutton studio 63 on a Monday and they love it. The teachers are friendly and professional and the classes are affordable and fun. They did a dhow recently which gave my daughters lots of confidence. I would highly recommend this dance school.”
