What Dancers Say About Base Dance Studios

4.4/5 from 102 Google reviews.

Massive variety of classes, including well known folk you'll recognise from other London dance studios.

Classes are often 90 minutes (at cheaper prices!), so you get more of a chance to learn the choreo. People pay before class (no door fee, just class fee) so teachers don't have to stop teaching to collect money from people.

Since opening they've fixed the remaining bits and pieces – there are benches in change rooms now and mirrors in the studios don't get misty any more! No showers though.— Mike MacCana

I have rented studios at base on two occasions now and always very last minute they have been able to accommodate me with my needs and the studios have always been super clean and great sound equipment. They have often saved the day for me when looking for a rehearsal space. Great value for money.— Hannah Thompson

Had an amazing week with great choreo classes; but classes are def overcrowded. I read in reviews their answer to a similar comment saying that the number of people in the room is appropriate according to something something whatever. The truth is, it is just overcrowded.— Dolores Dujak

My go to dance studio. Friendly and professional and great value for money. Sometimes the level they mentioned for the "all level classes" it's not completely accurate especially when you're a beginner. Other than that. I love the place!— Jess Glez
