Welcome to Jumpup Dance Academy

At Jumpup, we warmly invite children, teenagers, and dancers of all ages from NW3, NW1, NW7 and the surrounding areas to explore their creativity, have fun, and reach their full potential.

For nearly 20 years, Jumpup has been a vibrant part of the Hampstead and Mill Hill communities, offering a wide range of dance styles in a supportive and inclusive environment.

We take pride in being a friendly and welcoming school where students can make new friends, boost their confidence, and learn valuable skills that will benefit them in all aspects of life.

Our fun and educational classes are open to children as young as three, with numerous opportunities for every student to shine. For students aspiring to a career in dance, our curriculum extends to Level 3 and 4 qualifications, paving the way for future success in performance or dance teaching.

Our team of fully qualified and passionate RAD (Royal Academy of Dance) and ISTD (Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing) teachers is dedicated to helping each student achieve their personal best.

We also offer warm and inviting Silver Swans and Adult Ballet classes, perfect for those new to dance or returning to their passion. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to advance, Jumpup is here to welcome you with open arms!

Jumpup aims to:

Support dancers, children, teenagers and adults, so they feel supported and encouraged in a space that embraces everyone.

Understand each dancer’s unique abilities and goals, with individualised attention helping them reach their full potential.

Encourage a spirit of teamwork and mutual inspiration so it will flourish among students and teachers.

Fill each individual dance journey with joy, passion, and fun, making the learning process enjoyable for everyone

Through this approach, Jumpup becomes more than just a dance school—it is a place where dance students develop their technical skills, grow as individuals, build confidence, and foster a lifelong love for dance.

I danced at jumpup from the age of 3, all the way to the end of my teens at 19! Not only are the dance teachers such talented dancers, they're so friendly and always prepared us well for our exams. The classes here were such a constant in my life, particularly during exams as they kept me mentally grounded and physically active. Everyone here has such a passion for dance and it's such a lovely place to make friends with like-minded people who love to dance.

Wonderful adult ballet class. Most of the dancers have a bit of experience behind their belt but I enjoy it even as an absolute beginner. We have a laugh now and then. The teacher is very experienced and loves what she does.

I have been dancing at Jumpup Dance academy for almost 4 years and it has been an incredible experience. All of the teachers made me feel so welcomed and there was always a friendly and light atmosphere in the studio. After every lesson I'd come home having learnt something new and it was a time of the week that I would look forward to every time. I would definitely recommend any other friends or family to join this academy if they have a passion for dancing!

My daughter has been dancing at Jump Up Dance School for several years, and she absolutely thrives with the help of her wonderful teachers and Miss Erna. Ballet and Tap classes are the highlight of her week, and she always looks forward to it with great enthusiasm.
