What Schools Say

Trusted by Schools Across North London

For nearly 10 years, we have been lucky enough to be provided with excellent dancing sessions from the Dancing with Louise team. From supporting our daily Junior School Clubs programme, to bringing our curriculum days to life, the dancers are well-trained, have a superb rapport with all of our pupils and make learning to dance a real joy.

Mr A Wilkes, Junior School Assistant Head

North London Collegiate School

We are so grateful that you were able to provide us with a tailor-made workshop and the feedback has been fabulous. The kids had a fantastic time and the energy from your instructors was infectious! My son even showed me his dance routine — quite something for a boy obsessed with football!

Rebecca Corney, PTA

Hasmonean Primary School

We have had two very successful Bollywood workshops. Your instructor was really professional and great with the girls. She had a good balance between recapping the routine and working efficiently to get it all finished in the allocated time.
