The Facilities

It's the little things that make us, us

This sums up the service and facilities you will enjoy at the Karen Hardy Studios. Everything has been looked into from air-conditioned studios to our Champagne bar.

Most people attending a class in the early days will find themselves really quite nervous when it comes to stepping onto the dance floor.

We took all that into account and felt we wanted to offer you more than just a place to learn to dance, that's why our facilities include a lounge and comfortable seating area for you to relax and enjoy a drink before you take to the dance floor.

A luxurious and glamorous area will greet you as you walk through the doors of Karen Hardy Studios, from the Swarovski encrusted wallpaper and chandeliers to the bespoke soft furnishings.

This is something Karen and Conrad have been passionate about for a long time, so they have ensured that a sense of class and style - with a classic modern feel - will greet their clients. Every last detail has been thought of - even a plasma screen showing magic moments from the series of Strictly Come Dancing to current dance championship events from around the world.

The rich and sumptuous interiors offer a sense of occasion whilst maintaining a hint of Chelsea sophistication. This waterfront venue supports a sense of urban living during the day, whilst by night the lights will dim, the music will lift and a sense of intimacy will come to the venue, the perfect place to sip a delicious glass of Champagne before taking to the dance floor and dancing the night away.

Wireless internet access has been installed to allow working parents or the business man/woman needing to keep in touch with work whilst he/she is out to play. Our customers' needs have all been catered for, allowing you the most enjoyable opportunities on the dance floor.

Customer's comfort and ease before embarking on a lesson has not been overlooked with the inclusion of a Champagne bar, including great wines chosen for their excellence from around the world.

All wines and Champagnes have been chosen by blind tasting with only the very best products making the list.

Two mirrored studios with adjacent floor to ceiling windows lift the studio ambience, offering a bright and breath taking location for you to dance by the waterfront of Chelsea. Stunning maple sprung flooring has been laid throughout forming one of the most essential parts of the studio, with simple yet modest mood making lighting and an excellent sound system to ensure that luxurious finish throughout.

Sliding doors have been erected to partition off the second studio allowing that little extra privacy should your nerves need it, as well as offering excellent space for any corporate or private event. However, come party nights the wall will be pulled back to enjoy the full energy in the room with lights, music and dance to set the night on fire.
