London Academy Of Dance

I’ve been trying for two weeks to schedule a lesson for today at London Academy of Dance. I’m visiting from the U.S. and wanted to establish a pro-am ballroom dance relationship with an instructor for when I’m often in London.

The studio facilities are superb, but it is the teachers that really make this dance school. They are, without exception, friendly, encouraging, knowledgeable, talented and inspiring. I have been taking lessons here since 2008: I started as a complete novice with a weekly group class and last week was able to take the IDTA Gold Bar 2 examination.
