Creating a safe haven for dance and community in the heart of London.
EmilyKayo Studio was born from a passion for creating inclusive, welcoming spaces where adults can discover the joy of movement without judgment or intimidation. As someone who believes that dance should be accessible to everyone, regardless of age, body type, or experience level. We aim to build a community that celebrates the beauty of mindful movement, inspired by the RAD Ballet syllabus.
Our vision extends beyond just dance classes. We dream of a dedicated EmilyKayo Studio space with a café that serves as a comfortable waiting room and community hub—a true "third space" where people can connect, share stories, and build friendships before and after class. This café will be the heart of our community, offering a warm, inviting atmosphere where everyone feels they belong.
Currently, we rent beautiful studios across London to bring beginner-friendly ballet and mindful movement classes to adults who might have always wanted to try dance but felt intimidated by traditional dance schools. Every class is designed to be inclusive and focused on the joy of movement rather than perfection.
Our beginner classes are designed specifically for those with little to no experience, creating a safe space to learn at your own pace.
Whether you danced as a child or haven't moved in years, our gentle approach will help you rediscover the joy of movement.
Our gentle ballet and mobility-friendly classes are perfect for those wanting to maintain flexibility and strength in a supportive environment. Please seek medical advice if you have specific health concerns.
If you're looking for a way to connect with your body and meet like-minded people in a welcoming environment, these classes are for you.
We'd love to hear from you! Whether you have questions about classes, accessibility needs, or want to know more about our future studio plans.

Our vision for a dedicated EmilyKayo Studio space with a community café as the heart of our dance family.
We envision a dedicated EmilyKayo Studio that combines beautiful dance spaces with a warm, welcoming café. This will be more than just a dance studio—it will be a true "third space" where our community can gather, connect, and grow together.
The café will serve as a comfortable waiting area for students before and after classes, but also as a community hub where people can work, meet friends, or simply enjoy a peaceful moment. We'll serve coffee, herbal teas, and healthy snacks that support an active lifestyle.
Our future studio will include dedicated spaces for different types of movement classes, private lesson rooms, and areas for workshops and community events. We'll also offer studio hire for other teachers and practitioners who share our values of inclusivity and passion for movement.
