I've tried lots of schools around London, but since I discovered the Grafton I don't go anywhere else. The teaching is top notch and all levels catered for without too much pressure. I have felt very safe to be back dancing after all this time. Lots of careful considerations given to make sure people are comfortable and not put at risk during these rather weird times.
This is the perfect place to come if you want a good fun atmosphere for social dancing and where you can learn a lot.

I’ve been taking ballroom and latin classes here for a couple of years, as well as private lessons and social evenings; I love it!
The teachers are fantastic and there is always a welcoming atmosphere.
I couldn’t recommend the Grafton enough, whether you’re an absolute beginner or an advanced dancer.

The Grafton Ballroom Studio is a fantastic place. Great facilities, brilliant teachers who really care about their students, and friendly, welcoming people. The ballroom has a warm relaxing atmosphere and classes are well organised, fun and for all levels.
As a novice dancer, I started classes a few years ago. I am now fitter, slimmer and much to my delight I can cha cha cha, rumba tango and waltz around the ballroom. I have made new friends and love going to classes and socials. Learning and mastering steps has brought me a surprising joy.
