Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
💲How much do music lessons cost in the UK?
🩰 Where can I study dance in London?
There are many places where you can study dance in London, such as in dance schools, classes in local community centres, or with a private tutor. We suggest that you simply do an online search for “dance classes near me in London”, or ideally a search for the specific type of dance you´d like to learn, whether that be hip-hop, Bollywood, tango or Irish dancing.
🤔 What is the best age to start music and dance lessons?
There´s no doubt that it's best to start music and dance lessons from a young age as music and dance offer many benefits for young minds. Music and dance can improve your rhythm, memory, brain development and motor skills.
However, it is never too late to pick up a new hobby and the benefits of learning music or dance are not exclusively for children. You´ll find there are plenty of music and dance classes for adults available near you.
💃 Is it worth it to get a private tutor for music or dance lessons?
If you´re serious about music or dance, it's absolutely worth it to get a private tutor.
With music, it's recommended that you get a private music tutor so that you can build a solid foundation in your chosen instrument and so that you can learn at a pace that suits you.
With dance lessons however, these are often taken in group classes. We recommend starting with group lessons so that you can get a feel for the type of dance and see if it's something that you´d like to continue with. If you know that you´re serious about this type of dance and want to compete or go professional, we recommend that you invest in a private dance tutor.
🎹 How often should you practise music?
It's advised that you practise music for at least 10-15 minutes everyday in order to progress at a steady pace. Practising everyday might seem a little overwhelming for some, but just a few minutes each day go very quickly and can make all the difference.

Types of dance classes in London
London is a melting pot of people and cultures, which means it's possible to find classes for almost any type of dance. Below we´ve shared just some of the types of dance classes you can find:
- Ballet. Ballet is an ever-popular choice for dance lessons and with good reason. It's elegant, charming and mesmerising to watch, which means many young dancers veer towards this type of dance.
- Ballroom dancing. The hit show Strictly Come Dancing has certainly made the likes of ballroom dancing popular again. Many dance schools in London offer this type of dance, and there are many opportunities to compete in ballroom dancing if this is your goal.
- Bachata and salsa. With Latin music becoming even more popular in the charts, so too has the interest in Latin dancing, especially the likes of bachata and salsa. You´ll find many clubs and groups offering bachata and salsa lessons in London. Both offer great opportunities for socialising and are a great choice for adults seeking a new hobby.
- Bollywood. If you´re a fan of Bollywood cinema, or even if you´ve never seen a Bollywood movie, this type of dance is an excellent choice for all. Bollywood dances often tell a story, yet they're fun and full of energy. If you want to use up some energy and leave the class with a smile on your face, Bollywood is definitely for you.
- Flamenco. If you´re a lover of the passion and sensuality in Spanish guitar, or even if you´ve recently discovered a love of flamenco through Rosalia, you may have already considered flamenco classes. There are plenty of opportunities in London to study this historic and passionate dance.
- Irish dancing. There´s no doubt that London has a large Irish diaspora and the community still lives strong today. Whether you´re interested in traditional Irish dancing, or you´d like to take part in set dancing, there are plenty of Irish dancing schools in London for you to choose from.
- Samba. This Brazilian dance is not for the faint of heart. If you´ve seen the vibrancy and liveliness of the Brazilian Carnival, you´ll know that you need to bring all of your energy and passion when learning Samba.
Obviously these are just a small selection of the types of dance classes you can take. The opportunities are truly endless! So don't hesitate to try different types of classes so that you can find the style that suits you.
Most popular musical instruments to learn in London
London is a thriving hub for all kinds of music. You´ll never go a day without many offerings of live gigs or musical performances. That's why so many people in London are inspired to pick up musical instruments and start learning. Not sure which instrument to go for? Below we´ve listed some of the most popular types of music classes in London:
- Guitar lessons: The guitar is a versatile instrument which can be played for many different genres of music, which is why guitar lessons in London are so popular.
- Piano lessons. Piano lessons in London are highly sought after. Many beginners in music choose the piano as it gives a solid foundation in understanding music, and above all, it's a beautiful and satisfying instrument to play.
- Violin lessons. The violin is a very portable instrument and produces a sweet sound to accompany different styles of music, whether it be in an orchestra or in a folk band.
- Drum lessons. Drums aren't limited to the traditional drum sets you see in rock or pop bands. London offers many types of drum lessons, from traditional rock drumming, to African drum groups.
- Singing lessons. If you want to study music but don't want to invest in a musical instrument just yet, you can always use your voice. Singing lessons are very popular in London, and you can find classes for different genres including classical, musical theatre and pop, just to name a few.
How to find a private tutor
So you´ve decided you want to take music and dance lessons with a private tutor, but where do you start?
First of all, you can always ask your friends, family and peers if they have any recommendations for private lessons.
Otherwise, you can always do a quick online search for music lessons or dance lessons near you in London, and search through results for dance schools, classes in local community centres or on online platforms like FindTutors where you can find a tutor to suit your needs.
What you should look for in a private tutor
When looking for a private tutor, there are a few things you should take into consideration:
- The tutor´s qualifications and experience. With the likes of music and dance, it's important that your tutor is highly experienced in the area of music or dance you want to focus on. For example, if you want to take private ballet lessons, your tutor should have a lot of experience with studying, dancing and ideally teaching ballet.
- Reviews and testimonials. When you find a tutor you like the sound of, you can always ask if they have reviews or testimonials from past pupils so that you can get an idea of what their teaching style is like and whether they´ve generated results.
- The tutor´s teaching style. You should ensure that your tutor teaches in a way that you can learn from and that motivates you. They should be patient, adaptable and passionate about what they´re teaching.
Can you take music and dance lessons online?
While many people prefer to take face-to-face classes, at least at the beginning of their music and dance journey, it's absolutely possible to take music and dance lessons online.
If you want to take online lessons, you just need to ensure that you have a device with a good quality webcam and microphone, as well as a fast and stable internet connection. You should also have a quiet area where you can take lessons and also practise, so as not to disturb any neighbours.
So if you think you´ve got the music bug and want to get started with music lessons or dance lessons in London, why wait? Start the search today and find your ideal tutor.
