Frequently asked questions

I’m a complete beginner. Which dance class in London should I start with?

If you are completely new to dance, start with a beginner dance class, absolute beginner course or taster session. Choose a style that feels enjoyable rather than impressive. Salsa, ballroom, contemporary, ballet, tap, commercial dance and social dance classes can all work for beginners, but the best first class is one that clearly says no previous experience is needed.

Which dance style is easiest for beginners?

The easiest dance style depends on what you want from the class. Social styles such as salsa, bachata and ballroom can be good if you want to dance with other people. Contemporary dance can feel freer and more expressive. Ballet and tap are more technical but can still be beginner-friendly if the class is clearly labelled for beginners or absolute beginners.

What is the easiest dance class if I just want to try it once?

Look for a dance taster, one-off workshop or beginner drop-in class. These are usually better than a long course if you want to try dancing without committing to several weeks. Check that the class is suitable for beginners and does not require previous dance experience.

Are dance classes good for confidence?

Yes. Dance classes can help with confidence because they give you practice moving, following rhythm, learning in a group and becoming more comfortable in your body. Beginner-friendly classes are usually lower pressure and are designed for people who may feel nervous about dancing in front of others.

Do I need a partner to join a dance class?

Usually not. Many London dance classes are designed for solo learners, including ballet, tap, contemporary, commercial dance and many beginner social dance classes. Some partner dance classes rotate partners during the session, while others may recommend booking with a partner, so check the class details before booking.

How many dance classes are currently listed on Learn.London?

Which London providers offer dance classes?

Learn.London currently lists dance classes from 2 London providers, including City Academy and Idea Store Learning. Use the provider column in the table to compare dance schools, studios, adult learning providers and performing arts organisations by location, price, schedule and dance style.

Can I find evening or weekend dance classes on Learn.London?

Yes. Learn.London currently lists 7 evening dance classes and 10 weekend dance classes in London. Use the day and time columns to compare dance classes that fit around work, study or other commitments.

Can I compare dance classes by price, location and duration?

Yes. The dance classes table lets you compare classes by price, location, provider, level, type, start date, day, time and duration. Prices currently range from £15 to £295, based on the classes listed on Learn.London.

How do I use the table to find the most suitable dance class?

Start by filtering for your level, then narrow the table by dance style, day, time, location, price and duration. This helps you quickly separate beginner dance classes from ballet, contemporary, tap, salsa, ballroom, commercial dance, social dance and longer dance courses.
