What Dancers Say About Wimbledon Dance Academy

3.9/5 from 27 Google reviews.

Excellent academy with skilled dance teachers and good facilities. Over the last six years we have used Wimbledon Dance Academy for dance lessons for two children, both of whom enjoyed the lessons and helped them grow in confidence.
All staff are professional and in my experience enquiries dealt with quickly and in a polite manner. On the odd occasion when we had to reschedule a lesson, this was handled promptly and without fuss.

The urban and street dance classes are throughly recommended to all.
The dance school is located in central Wimbledon and therefore very convenient to get to as well— Lagoon Wimbledon

We have been going to classes at the Wimbledon Dance Academy for over four years. The owners and instructors are all very professional and really encouraging. The reception area is always seasonally decorated and extremely welcoming and the studio is a great environment for learning to dance. We've already recommended the Academy to our friends and do so to anyone wanting to learn to dance.— Sophie

My husband gave me 4 private dance lessons for our wedding anniversary ( 30th!) . We are both completely hopeless but wanted to learn ‘a dance’ so we didn’t look too terrible at our daughter’s wedding. Anastasia is endlessly patient and hey presto… we can already waltz and cha cha cha… 2 more lessons to go.— Chantal C
