What Dancers Say About London Ballroom Studio

5/5 from 8 Google reviews.

Melina, the head, the spirit and the owner of London Ballroom Studio is full of positive energy and bubbly personality. We are very local business, as I am a same-sex and destinations wedding photographer based in Wimbledon. I always recommend Melina to my couples, for private lessons for their first dance! She is extremely welcoming and a very talented dance teacher. I strongly recommend Melina. Paola from Paola De Paola Photography— Paola De Paola Photography
