Dance Classes for kids - Recommendations?

Hi,
I'm looking for dance classes for my 3 year old Dd and 5 year old Ds - ideally ballet or some kind of music/movement for her, and street or modern for him. There are loads of classes around in Wimbledon,Kingston, Cheam etc...in fact so many that I am now a bit bewildered by all the choice! So I wondered if anyone could shed some light on good, proven teachers. I've been looking at Wimbledon Dance Academy, West Wimbledon Dance Academy, Dancebites, Dynamic Dance...any steers greatly appreciated!

Karen Forbes Dance School is quite serious and does ballet, musical theatre, modern, tap etc. I'd say that the 3 year olds class isn't great at the moment, as quite a few cry and have to be taken out, and it's all a bit disrupted. I don't think that's to do with the teaching (my daughter loves it, but is older and in a different class) but with children who don't want to do ballet / aren't yet ok with being away from mum for 45 minutes being forced into it. It's in Merton Park. There aren't that many boys, unfortunately, but I do see a few around.

Vacant dance just up from Colliers wood station is reasonable, lovely teachers , nice balance between taking it seriously and understanding little ones.
