TONS of dancing in London - just depends on what style, what level, what your goals are, etc etc.

Maybe do a search on "London" and "lessons" on the forums and see what comes up? I used that as a way to see where the good teachers and cool places to dance are in my own city and came up with some great stuff.
Forum members really know their stuff here.

If you do standard, Cheam is great, although don't remember how to get there anymore, someone drove me when I was there
Hi, This question has probably been posted before but I couldn't find any previous threads. I am going to live in London and want to continue dancing, does anyone know of any good dance studios/instructors in London? Thanks.
Latin or Standard ?.. and , very important , solo or with partner ?... and what part of Ldn ?
Thanks for all the advice. Sorry, just realised I wasn't very specific with my question!! I want to do both standard & latin, am a beginner but have had a few lessons mainly latin and mostly private, don't have a partner. Am keen to continue with private mainly, mixed with some group lessons. Will try another search!

Solo lessons are not taught by all schools. You still didnt say which part of the area you will be in .
The schools in North London for such can be at least an hour away if you are residing in the South .
I would suggest class work to begin, and again, many schools do not take singles.

that's what I heard from my European friends who visit England for lessons often:
Standard: Cheam or Starlight
Latin: Semley (not sure about spelling though)

I think Cheam also called "Dance Options", many great coaches teach there
Cheam is a small town.. starlight is a school
again.. it depends on where you live.. there are numerous schools all over the greater London area.. some will take singles.. some wont.... a ph. call will resolve the problem . ( I do take singles in all my classes, but the distance is too far )

hi pinkstuff
if you contact craig shaw he teaches in the USA and in UK (mainly Cheam, Norbury) - he can tell you which dance schools, teachers, costs etc., for the area you will be living in. He can give you info about travel and directions too.
If you send him a message and your contact details on NDCA he can reply to you with the info you need.

Cheam is a school, I've been there. John wood, Kenny/Marion Welch teach there. A great studio for standard. Marcus/Karen Hilton teach in Starlight.

I'm darn sure (had to look up train schedules in the middle of the night) that the studio is Dance Options (http://www. danceoptions.com/) and it is in the town (borough...whatever suburbs are called in England) of Cheam.

Technically true, without a doubt, but it is typically referenced simply as Cheam.
