I take my 22 month old daughter to the 'Melody Bear' classes at South London Dance School in Herne Hill. My daughter loves it (one reason is because she gets to wear a very pretty skirt!) and I think the teacher ('Miss Naomi') is really good because she balances lively and energetic dancing with calmer periods of sitting and listening (and some talking). It's well organised and Miss Naomi understands what toddlers can manage. Some children struggle with the sitting still parts of the lesson but it is amazing to see that their concentration improves each week. My friend brings her son as well and it's good for boys as although its dance its not girly at all. Then the good thing is that when they are old enough, they join the dance classes that are without mums and I get a 45 minute break on a Sat morning! Can't wait for that!

Hiya. My daughters 6 years old and she goes to South London Dance Studios in Herne Hill. I think its a fantastic dance school, my daughter always seems to enjoy it and is always going on about how much fun she has had! The teachers are very friendly and very encouraging and they have a great relationship with the children. The school may be a little strict but they know what there doing and the students are very well disiplined but also enjoying themselves too! When she was younger, we did try other dance shcools in the area but we are very happy where are now!
