I highly recommend attending Sublime regular open classes and joining the collective. Everybody is super welcoming, and there is a myriad of dance and performance experiences present. The classes offer a diversity of styles and opportunity to try something new in a supportive environment with some of Bristol's best teachers.

Such a welcoming and inclusive environment created by two wonderful and talented dancers. Attending sublime classes has given me more confidence than I thought I could ever have. They also run weekly sessions with amazing guest teachers with a variety of styles. Sublime: what a gem of a dance company. Highly recommend!

I met Laura a few years ago now and stepped into her beginners dance class, I had no vibe and felt like an alien. Laura broke everything down so easy to understand, she helped me really step out of my comfort zone, gain so much confidence inside and outside of the studio. By going to Lauraâs dance class this was my turning point in my life, and it sounds dramatic but itâs true. I wouldnât be where I am now if it wasnât for stepping into that hugely supportive, fun, vibrant environment. Iâll always be grateful to Laura and will never forget what she gave me. Dance truly does change peoples lives. So if you want to level up, be more confident, be more YOU. Then Lauraâs classes are an absolute must. Plus sheâs a complete angel, so just being in her company is a vibe. So just do it.

I have not only had the pleasure to dance alongside the talented Laura, but also be taught by her. She is incredibly caring, kind and warm to everyone, bringing a light and excitement to every class she teaches. As someone who has often lacked confidence in my dancing abilities, Laura has empowered me and helped provide opportunities for me to shine and build on my confidence, whilst also working on my dance abilities and technique. Dancing aside, Laura is a genuine, bubbly and fun person to be around and I couldnât recommend her enough to anyone wanting to start dance no matter what ability or experience in dancing!
Review for
I met Laura first time at her beginner class a couple of years ago and never looked back! Truly such a talent and warm energy that you canât get enough of! I also got to work with Laura on stage later on and her professionalism and skill made the experience effortless and so enjoyable. Thank you Laura canât wait to keep working with you in the future! Highly recommend!

Laura performed with charisma and immediately built a fantastic relationship with the audience and fellow performers. Thanks Laura đ

Laura brought the energy to the party, engaging all the youngsters through a range of different dances. She adapted her choreography to fit with the unique and diverse tracks as chosen by Robin (7). Not only did she bring the music and the moves she scattered glitter in many designs across each and every one of the dances to ensure they all got in to the party vibe.

I had the best time at Lauraâs dance class! I loved it and will happily travel to attend. Iâm very excited to start regular lessons in the new year and cannot wait to get back to dancing

I have had the pleasure of dancing with Laura for many years. A wonderful personality who brings out all the confidence and joy in the people she works with.

Laura led a dance class for a hen do I organised. She was so responsive, friendly and easy to deal with to organise the session in the run up to the day. She accommodated our needs and choreographed a fun 90s boyband routine for a group of 20. None of us are natural dancers and Laura was patient, fun and energetic throughout so that everyone had a really good time. I'd highly recommend her! Thank you Laura for such a fab start to the weekend.

I booked Laura for a performance job and she not only did an amazing job at it but also helped me source some of the performers for it. She always goes above and beyond and her energy is just incredible! Canât wait to work with her again!
Review for
Laura is the most encouraging and energetic person to take a class from - the vibes are always immaculate and I leave with a huge smile on my face. The choreo is always high energy and complex enough to feel like youâre really taking part in dance, but easy enough to be able to pick it up quickly and to be inclusive of all levels. Fave part of my week! X
Review for
I joined Sublime over 1 year ago and it's partly because of Laura! She is super talented, kind and funny but at the same time very organised and informative. The classes are always fun, sassy, well explained and at the end of the class I always feel very uplifted. Thank you!
Review for
I recently worked with Laura when she was a guest teacher and she was honestly amazing. So caring and yet fun all at the same time. Hoping for another class soon!!
Review for
Laura taught me recently as a special guest teacher at a dance group I go to. Laura was amazing, her personality and energy was vibrant. She lifted the room with her energy and you could see everyone in the class was feeding from her energy and everyone was having lots of fun. Laura was a brilliant teacher, she went through the steps slowly, got us to repeat it from the top after we learnt sections, so it would be fresh in our minds and went round the whole class to make sure we were all ok and if we needed any help with any of the moves. I really enjoyed her class and I hope to get to travel to one of her own classes one day.
Review for
Experienced a guest class with Laura at Vibe & she gave us a real challenge introducing us to a new dance style. Loved the high energy she brings, as well as the fire moves. Such a fun, sassy vibe and great teacher full of knowledge. Xx
Review for
Iâve had the pleasure of being taught by Laura since the beginning of this year and she is the ultimate QUEEN! Iâve returned from dance after a long break away and Laura has been so welcoming from the beginning, and continues to help build my confidence at every class. If youâre looking for classes with facial expressions, attitude, sass, and a general great vibe - Laura is your galđđť
Review for
Laura has been soo supportive in my new found love of dance. Iâve never had the confidence to jump in due to the concern I had no clue of how to dance. However I took the plunge and found thereâs no judging and everyone is there to have fun whilst learning and everyone is very welcoming and helpful. Her vibe is contagious and I love the energy she brings to her every one of her classes.
Review for
Laura has been teaching me to dance for 5 years. She has been my biggest supporter and has even at times made me fall in love with dance again when i wanted to give up. You will always have a laugh at her classes, she may be a dance teacher but she will also be your friend too
Review for
Laura is amazing! So welcoming & vibrant! Makes all dancers in her class feel not only comfortable, but like superstars! SUCH A BABE!
Review for
Laura came to teach a one off special class and it was amazing! Her energy and personality is unmatched. Loved learning a new style of dance (wacking) slowing everything down and working through it to make sure no one is struggling. Inclusive for all abilities and levels of dancing. Guaranteed you'll leave a class by Laura feeling positive and confident within yourself! Thanks Laura keep smashing it!
Review for
Laura is so fun! Her classes are alive with energy and she makes you feel so welcome, and relaxed
Review for
From the minute I walked through the door, Laura made me feel at ease! I love the vibe she has created đ As a girl who hasnât danced in a decade, it was so fun to be a part of a community that didnât judge, made it fun and totally no pressure if you didnât grasp a move straight away. Laura just oooozes passion for dance and I canât wait to learn more from her!
Review for
I tried a few dance groups that were a bit intimidating when you didnât know anyone. Lauraâs class has been so so welcoming and laidback, but also ends up with some fab looking dancing that I just want to share with others! I have not once yet felt like I stuck out for missing weeks/not being perfect and while Iâve always felt encouraged and confident in her class sheâs never singled people out or pressured anyone to do anything they donât want to! Iâve only been to a few of her classes this summer but I plan to go every week now after finally finding the most fun thing to do on a Sunday! Her dances are so sassy, great for beginners (but still challenging so you work up a sweat) she goes over things loads and she herself is so funny and friendly! Would recommend to anyone like me who was a bit nervous to try something new, these classes really put a smile on my face!
Review for
I have absolutely LOVED Street Dancing for Beginners with Laura Karai! I will be the first to tell you that I am NOT a dancer and have never had classes or lessons but have always wanted to. Laura makes it fun. She explains things in a way that even us SUPER beginners can follow along. I always end the class with a a massive smile. I highly recommend this to anyone!
Review for
I did Laura's beginner's dance course and I loved it! Laura tailor's the class to the needs of the group and makes it really enjoyable for all beginners. I'm looking forward to doing more courses and classes.
Review for
I love Lauraâs beginner, beginners plus & also her 3 week course. Her classes are some of the best in Bristol. Iâve started there as a complete beginner but I always feel really comfortable because of the atmosphere sheâs created. Super fun & Iâm now more confident with dance, highly recommend â¨
Review for
Had such a lovely experience at Laura's beginners course. Everything is broken down into little steps for new learners like me and there is a really easy-going learning environment. This is the first dance class I have ever been to and I can't recommend it enough, so glad I got out for a boogie <3.
Review for
Had such a good experience on the complete beginners course with Laura! One of the main things she did (or didn't do) which i LOVED was not making us split into separate groups to do the routines. I always hated that at other classes because the other group would watch and I'd mess up and feel embarrassed or inadequate. As a complete beginner it was so refreshing that Laura didn't do that! Everyone was so lush and I am definitely continuing on to the beginners classes :)
Review for
If you're thinking of joining Laura's beginner's class but are feeling a bit nervy, definitely go for it! I'd just moved to Bristol, knew no one, and am NOT a dancer - but going along was the best thing I could have done to settle into the city. Laura's class is the highlight of my week, it makes me feel pumped every time and I've met some great friends there. As for the dancing - Laura makes it SO accessible - she's as hilarious as she is a brilliant choreographer, so you never feel too far out of your comfort zone. and are just having a tonne of fun to music :)
Review for
Laura is fantastic! The classes have a really friendly atmosphere - I felt welcomed immediately and the routines are really designed for all levels as well as being fun.
Review for
Lauraâs beginner course was great! I would definitely recommend, we started each session focusing on footwork and arms before learning the choreography which was really helpful. High energy and so much fun.
Review for
I did Laura's beginner's dance course in September and loved it Laura broke the routines down in a way that were easy to learn and she bought a vibrancy and energy to each and every class. It wasn't intimidating at all so if you're thinking about joining and getting back into dance, do it!
Review for
I signed up for Lauraâs complete beginnerâs workshop but was so nervous. I thought I would be too old, too unfit and completely incapable of learning to dance but I neednât have worried at all! Laura is so welcoming and enthusiastic (but without taking it too seriously) I had so much fun. Laura is such a good teacher and makes learning the routines so easy, she even sends out videos of the class so you can practice at home. I would highly recommend even if you think youâve got two left feet and no rhythm like me!
Review for
Laura's complete beginners course was superb. Laura is excellent at breaking down all the choreography into manageable chunks and she makes it super fun too. I'd recommend it to anyone who might be a bit nervous attending dance classes as it's a great introduction and will get you set up with the basics. Loved it x
Review for
Laura is amazing, such a great teacher! I have been going to the class for a few months now and it has been great, I have joined the beginners show team and am really looking forward to doing the show in July âşď¸

Had a great experience at the beginners hip hop class this month! Laura was so enthusiastic and really welcoming. Looking forward to attending the next classes :)
Review for
I do the weekly beginnerâs class with Laura, which is really fantastic. Sheâs warm, welcoming and fun and the routines are pitched nicely, challenging but not unfeasible for a beginner.
Review for
I attended Lauraâs beginners class last week for the first time. I had so much fun! Sheâs a very encouraging dance teacher with full of good energy. Can only recommend.
Review for
Highly recommended! I haven't been dancing for 10+ years and been looking for studio that does adult stress dancing. Then I found motion! At first I joined Laura's beginner class on Sunday to start off first.
Review for
Laura is an excellent and enthusiastic teacher and I highly recommend the absolute beginners class. Iâm 38 and have wanted to try street dance for years but was too shy. The class is very welcoming and it was easy to break out of my comfort zone :) I left feeling more confident in myself and with a fair few steps to use on a night out!
Review for
Lauraâs beginners class is awesome, I canât believe I was ever nervous about going! The choreography is always so much fun, and itâs such a confidence boost to finally get a move thatâs a bit challenging. Everyone in the class is super friendly, and Laura makes sure everyone is included and is always happy to go over the moves again so everyone feels comfortable. Seeing everyone learn and dance together is such a joy, itâs the best way to spend a Sunday evening, and I canât believe I now look forward to the end of the weekend!
