I cannot say enough about Kate and the instructors at this studio. My daughter Thalia has been attending this studio for over 1 year and it has transformed her. The instructors are knowledgeable but, more importantly, patient and genuinely nurture a love of dance. I visited the studio and felt welcome at once. I also attended a competition and saw the result of their efforts and the enthusiasm they pass on to their students. I cannot wait to see my daughter compete again, every time I see her dance I am wowed. Kudos to Kate for running a fantastic studio and to Matt and all the instructors for helping my daughter follow her passion! You will not be disappointed if you decide to join this wonderful studio.

This is absolutely my favourite place in the world. If I could take lessons every second of every day I would 100%. The instructors and owner foster an incredible environment where people of all skill levels feel comfortable and confident to step out of their comfort zones and try new things!! I was hesitant to come in without but that was not a problem at all. I have two teachers, Matt and Shaii, who have gone above and beyond any expectations I possibly had. They are such kind hearted and wonderful people, as well as incredible teachers. I have been a student there for one year now and I have never been happier.

In doing my introductory 3 lessons I learned the basic steps for multiple styles of dance while having the most incredible time. The teachers were so knowledgeable and truly loved their jobs. It is such an open and inviting environment that made me love ballroom dance.

As a senior, I hesitated coming to a dance studio. I soon learned that you become part of the Fred's family. Age, weight, talent are irrelevant, it is about a love for movement and music, both students and teachers celebrating each other's successes at every level. You are put at ease as those talented, well trained instructors individualize your program, adjusting for bad knees, stiff necks etc. I have never before in my life felt GRACEFUL!!
Expensive?..Perhaps...The Quality, both physical and mental, added to my life......PRICELESS!!

Great environment and really great people... Until you tell them you can't afford to continue paying $100 per 40 minute lesson and having 2-3 lessons per week as they recommend. They don't give you any options for group lessons but try to sell you a package that is going to cost thousands of dollars. The instructors are great but obviously don't want you to learn too quickly as they want you to keep paying for more lessons. My husband and I first signed up with them on one of their specials. Our first two lessons with them on this special were great and we learned a lot. We then purchased 5 additional classes. The first three of these we progressed a lot in our dancing. After the third lesson we let them know that we would not be able to purchase another package at this time due to it being a large expense for us. After that, our last two lessons were a waste of our time. We were not taught anything new in our fourth lesson. We were told that we were just brushing up on what we already had learned. Then we were told that our regular instructor would not be teaching us in our last lesson. We were stuck switching instructors for our last lesson. This was challenging as it was a very different teaching style and they didn't know what we could already do. So it was another review class. Which is a shame as we paid good money to be there. What started out as a good experience is now a very bitter one.
Don't ruin dance for yourself. There are MANY other affordable options in London for learning to dance ballroom.
