ABOUT DAKODAS
Empowering young performers to discover their talents and build
confidence through expert training in dance and performing arts through
our Dance Classes & Performing Arts Classes
Looking for Dance and Performing Arts in Chelsea, Knightsbridge, Fulham, Belgravia, Clapham & Twickenham?
Every child deserves a place where they can be brave, be silly, and be completely themselves — and that's what we've built at Dakodas. We're one of London's leading dance and performing arts academies for children aged 18 months to 16 years, with classes running across seven studios in Chelsea, Knightsbridge, Fulham, Belgravia, Clapham and Twickenham.
We teach ballet, street dance, acro, musical theatre, drama, singing and more — but really, we teach confidence. Children who walk in shy often walk out standing a little taller, and that's the bit we're proudest of.
Trusted By Top Schools
We're trusted by some of London's top schools as their dance and performing arts partner, and we currently teach over 800 children across more than 100 classes a week. But the number we care about most is the one we can't put in a stat box: how many children leave a little more confident than they arrived.
Numbers Speak For Themselves!

what our families say
Wonderful, professional and so warm and friendly place !
Our journey with Dakodas started back in 2014 when my then 4 y.o.
daughter started her first steps in a lovely studio 1 in More House.
And since the the new world of dance has opened.
We are now back to Dakodas for a new iteration of dance journey for my
now 11 year old daughter and it is great ! Inspiring, supporting,
interesting, so embracing from first minute !
Very professional and inspirational teacher as well.
Thank you so much !A. Y.
EFVery lovely dance school. My son attends ballet here
and has learnt so much and enjoys the classes. The teachers are really
lovely, the location for the class is fabulous. The communication is
great - he took part in one of their shows last year which was a
wonderful experience he will remember for a long time. It was at a
theatre the whole experience was so prestige and precious. He also had
his first dance exam and the prep for it was excellent. Highly
recommend!!
Our daughter has been at Dakoda's Dance Academy for more than two years and still enjoys every single Saturday morning lessons.
She was very happy to be part of the performance at the Theatre, it was awesome. We are so proud of the school level and impressed by the teachers dedication.Keep dancing!Weiler Family
