Contemporary Dance

Founded in Dulwich, SE21 as Grafton Dance Academy in 2001. In 2009 we moved to the former Royal Mail Sorting Office in the centre of Herne Hill, SE24 and were renamed South London Dance School.

We are delighted to have three professional standard dance studios of our own, each with sprung floors, mirrors and ballet barres. There are no other dance studios in this area with comparable facilities.

We now have over 750 students of all ages who participate on a weekly basis in the following classes:

• ‘Melody Movement’ music & dance classes for 18 month to 3 year olds
• Nursery & Preparatory dance classes for 3 to 5 year old boys & girls
• Ballet, Tap, Modern, Jazz, Street & National dance classes for children age 5 plus
• Specialist Boys training
• Adult Tap, ‘Ballet Tone’ & Modern / Street dance classes for beginners and those with experience

We have an excellent reputation for providing outstanding dance classes for all ages whether for a hobby or in preparation for a career in dance.

All classes at South London Dance School are taught by inspiring and experienced dance teachers & performers. Our teachers consider each child individually; being aware of their physical progress and cognitive, emotional & social development.

Our classes promote confidence through achievement, develop skills for life such as self discipline & persistence, and provide an understanding of the importance of physical activity throughout life.
