    PLEASE DON'T GO THERE IF YOU RESPECT YOUR PRIVACY! Yesterday Tamara Kemer, the teacher and founder of this horrific dance studio, told me to spend the rest of the class because I didn’t want to be on the camera. She wanted to make a video and post it on YouTube. I refused to do it and I want people to respect my privacy. Her answer: “Then you can spend the rest of the class on the couch”. I left the class and decided to make a refund as I bought a 6-week course and paid £99. Moreover, I hate when people touch me without permission. This “teacher” grabbed my chain and told me I need to look at the camera. Today I asked if I can receive the refund, as this was only the third class in the 6-week program. Her reply: “Refunds are not given I am afraid. Is under terms and conditions.” Now I understand why this place has such a bad rating.

    Toxic learning environment created by its owner TK. I and many others in the class paid our money for a class she clearly did not bother to prepare her chorgraphy. She told us to create our own choreography in small groups and left the studio only to return in the last 10 mins or so to watch what we'd created. It left me and other frustrated because we paid our money to be taught not teach! It was very unprofessional and quite frankly, a disrespect. It left such a bad taste in my mouth that I didn't go back for a while, but I soon began to miss dancing. So, I decided I would check out some of the other classes taught by other dancers, however, the classes had stopped due to Covid. When things were begginging to open up again, at some point, she sent group messages vaguely insinuating virtual classes. I didn't respond to this group message but shortly after it, I discovered I could no longer access their Instagram page. When the classes were back up and running, I enquired about this at the reception thinking they were having technical issues with their page, but when the reception staff checked the page at her end, all was fine! I realised then that I had been blocked and I still don't understand what I did. Anywho, I just things as is, I just couldn't go back to the studio after that, it was the final straw.. It's a shame really because I'd heard many negative things about TK but I wanted to form my own opinion of her, however, sadly her bad reputation was a fair reflection of her character.

    I haven’t been to the studio in a while but the last time I did was a traumatic experience. I had attended the training academy for a couple of terms before things became dreadful. Once the original studio co-ordinator left Tamara (founder) became more involved in the sessions, and things changed for the worse. The class always dreaded her appearances and even the other teachers would make subtle digs. There was a time when she had everybody in the class to get up individually and share personal stories of themselves to the group (barely knowing each other) most would end up in tears and it was as if that’s what she wanted…. Not only that but she shouted in my face on several occasions and even physically assaulted me in front of the class on one occasion. Baring in mind I was still a teenager during this time. The woman is clearly not in her right mind and I have no idea how the studio is still up and running.

    This place has invented a new dance style. It’s called bikram dance. Despite having 3 fans and 3 air cons, they REFUSE to turn them on. Every time I ask, they look me in the eye and say yes then don’t do anything. It’s 28 degrees today and I asked twice, the 2nd time I walked out sweating like I just got out of a swimming pool and I asked them again and they said yes they will turn them on and STILL they did absolutely NOTHING. Everyone in the class is sweating and complaining about how hot it is. There is no windows and no air so you’re basically dancing in a sauna. The fact the staff refuse to do anything about it is appalling.

    BE CAREFUL!! Very unprofessional dance studio. I booked an acrobatics class. It was not only cancelled last minute, but they also did not refund the costs for it (although they agreed to do so). Contacted them several times for over a month and I did not get my money back.

    Refused to refund after they cancelled our booking! Hideous experience with Studio 68, not sure who I was communicating with via WhatsApp (because they refuse to communicate via email) but she has terrible customer service. My booking was initially due to happen in 2020 and of course due to COVID this was cancelled, they initially agreed to rearrange when possible. I did so for next month (May 2022), no issues with any of my requests until a few days ago, I received a voice note explaining that my booking needed to be cancelled due to works required in the studio and that I could rearrange the date. After explaining that new dates wouldn't suit us as it's a booking for a hen do experience, she refused to refund and ignored any further messages. Terribly unprofessional and rude

    Hip hop classes are packed but they put you into this tiny room at the back of the studio past the toilets where we are crammed in and it’s worst than a hot summer day on the tube in peak hour. Then you go downstairs to the main studio and there is like 6 people in that whole class. Why can’t they swap us out and move the 25 person hip hop class in the big studio where we don’t hit each other every time we take a step. It’s a real joke of a place and very unprofessionally run

    Tamara's beginner's Hip Hop classes are a must! She is so supportive and really makes you feel empowered whilst mastering the style. 10/10 would recommend x

    I joined TK's Tuesdays heels classes a year ago , I came super shy without knowing what was waiting for me there . Tamara and girls were very welcoming I they were cheering me up when I was straggling , such nice atmosphere in the class. I finally found the studio and perfect teacher which supporting & pushing me forward. I can see a big difference from where I started and where I'm now. STILL , so much work ahead and I know that Tamara always be there to help me to reach my dancing goals! Also would like to mention that this studio not only pay & dance , TK gives opportunity for people to be involved in different events, parties it's such a cool place to make friends and connection too! Highly recommended!!!!!

    This school is full of my memories. Not gonna lie, I am very disappointed to come back after 6/7 years. The teacher was late for 15 mins, the class was kinda empty (<10), the atmosphere was just, quiet.. When I lived here in 201x, studio 68 was one of the leading studio in the UK, great choreographer, great atmosphere. I hope it can come back..

    I’m rating 5 stars because of the twerking class with Klaudia Karwan. It is honestly the first class I have had in london where I felt since the first class that I’m learning and enjoying dancing as a beginner.

    One of the worst run dance studios I've been to in the world! Management should be ashamed of themselves. This place absolutely stinks. It is worse than the toilets at the glastonbury at the end of the third day. I don't think this place has ever been cleaned. I saw a girl bring her own air freshener and run around spraying it. That's how disgusting this place is. Barely anything works in the studio. Only one speaker was working for weeks, furniture is old and a lot of it broken, bathrooms are disgusting and don't get cleaned, and none of the fans or aircon works. You are literally dancing in a sweat box. The mirrors at the front are literally fogging up and the floors are slippery from all the sweat and humidity in the room. This explains the putrid smell since this place has never been cleaned. It's a real shame the staff here are so lazy and take no care of this place. The choreographers are actual good and their classes are dwindling due to the poor management. Only a matter of time before this place closes down.

    Absolutely amazing dance classes, with a wide range and teachers that have years of experience in the industry. I also attended other events organised by Studio 68, and they are always an absolute blast. Staff is so friendly and has great vibes. It feels like a family

    Very welcoming atmosphere. I went to Tamaras Hip-Hop commercial class and 100% love it. Very good vibes from everyone and a lot of support. We repeated everything that wasn’t unclear. Had an amazing time

    Not sure what happened to my feedback but expect as it was bad and that I suggested not to use this studio as they cancel and will not refund that it was removed....

    Women's Academy Online is a different kind of experience. I loved the fact that I got the chance to do it with other girls like me. With different work backgrounds, ethnicities and location all over the world we all connected even without seeing each other personally.Going through all those activities bonded TK and us girls. TK made us think about what we want to be and what we have to offer to the world. Each week is never the same and I always looked forward to our sessions. I value the time I spent with TK and the girls. Thats why I strongly recommend the ladies to join. million thumbs up. Alex before is different from Alex after Women's Academy Online.

    It was great! Only thing is that it's hard to spot at first, but that's all. The staff are awesome and nice, and the classes and the rooms are great

    Amazing experience i plan to go again the reception are very friendly and welcoming. The classes are absolutely brilliant and there are different styles of dance depending on your level. The prices also seem to be fair. The teachers also seem to be very passionate which makes it more exciting.

    Fabulous gym. The classes are fun. The trainers are really friendly and professional. The owner is lovely and go's the extra mile in terms of nutritional advice etc. The cost of the classes are peanuts... what more can you ask for? I wholeheartedly recommend this gym.

    I attended the Online Women's Academy (6 weeks accountability coaching) hosted by Tamara Kramer. I can honestly say, the training that I received has literally changed my life, in every positive aspect. Tamara was happy, positive, motivating, inspiring and passionate about her mission: "To help woman feel empowered and confident in their lives" (through completing weekly assignments). After a long day at work (Key person), I could feel myself slowly winding down, but as soon as I reached the group, I had to match Tamara's energy, as her positivity is so contagious! I would 1000% attend the online course again in a heartbeat, I had so much fun! I am so, so, so grateful and appreciative for all the time and effort, Tamara has put into delivering every session, she was always on time and very professional. Tamara made sure that every woman in the group was seen and heard, which is so important. I feel every woman needs to join the Tamara's online accountability coaching. It's one of the best things I have done!
