I started dancing 16 months ago. Have tried many different schools around London but this one stands out head and shoulders above for many reasons… To name a few…
It's warm and welcoming to beginners and professionals alike.
The teachers are fun and extremely talented.. All of which have competed and some do at the highest levels.
Perfect dance floors… Air conditioned when you need it.
It's like being part of a family
😎🤗😍💃🕺— Mark Francké

One of the top dancing studios we've seen in UK. Great and knowledgeable teachers with plenty of patience. Highly recommended for all levels.

Update: we now been attending classes for more than a year and it only gets better (inc. winning Blackpool!). Big thanks to John and Jane and all the teachers. You rock! 👏— George Kowalewski

John is a fantastic teacher. Me and my husband attended his group classes for months before switching to private classes to prepare for our wedding. Each lesson was very relaxed and fun, and our first dance was amazing! If you think that you can't dance, go to JJ studio and they will show you that you can :).— Aleksandra Mayes

Thanks JJ Dance Studios. 6 months ago our only ballroom/Latin dance knowledge was knowing when Strictly was on the TV. Now, we can comfortably dance the Tango, Waltz, Cha Cha, Rumba, Quick Step and Jive.
John teaches us very methodically and introduces new moves at a very manageable pace.— T H

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you start ballroom dancing?

The simplest way is to join a beginners' class or book an introductory lesson, where a teacher walks you through posture, hold and the basic steps of a first dance. No experience or partner is needed to begin.

What ballroom dance to learn first?

Many people start with the waltz because its slow, even count makes the timing easy to feel, though a friendly instructor can suggest a first dance that suits you.

Is it possible to learn ballet as an adult?

Yes, adults can certainly learn ballet. This school specialises in ballroom and Latin, so for ballet it is best to ask what is on offer or look to a dedicated adult ballet class.

What age is too late to start ballet?

It is never too late; adult beginners of any age can take up ballet in a class pitched at their level and pace.

Can you learn to dance without a partner?

Yes. You are welcome to attend without a partner, and group classes are structured so that you can still take full part.

What should I wear to a beginner dance class?

Comfortable clothes you can move in, plus smooth-soled shoes that allow you to pivot without sticking, are ideal. A bottle of water is worth bringing too.
