Dance classes in Knaphill, Woking

Every LESTA class is taught here: three named studios at Lansbury Estate on Guildford Road - Fosse upstairs, Fonteyn downstairs left and Astaire downstairs right - each with a sprung dance floor, a private entrance and parking on the doorstep.

Ballet barre and sprung floor at LESTA Studios, Knaphill

LESTA Studios are the school's only teaching venue, built for dance from the floor up. ISTD ballet, tap and modern sit alongside jazz, acro, contemporary, hip hop, musical theatre, Melody Movement and the Excel programme.

A private foyer and waiting area keep arrivals calm. Watching week is held in person at the end of each term, so families can see the work without crowding the studio floor each week.
