After school dance club?

[robinsamy]

DD (14) wants to start after school dance club when term starts. She has never shown an interest before but I don't want to put her off.

Kit letter received at end of term says PE kit or loose clothes and "dance shoes or bare feet" - there's the rub! Dance shoes are expensive so my proposal was bare feet - what does everyone think? Don't want to spend a load of money if she is not going to stick it but don't want her to stand out from the crowd?

We never did dance at school. We did gymnastics in bare feet but we were lucky enough in both junior school & high school to have a dedicated gym.

yep Yuck!! - maybe spend the £12!!

We have met BGM & I but we live 200 miles apart!! So we aren't ganging up on you....honest

haha didn't think it was ganging up!!

BGM - what do you mean dedicated gym?

It was a room dedicated only to PE , so dudnt double up as a lunch hall etc & it was in an annexe so didnt have lots of kids traipsing through in their dirty outdoor shoes.

We did in our school too - a big hall just for games/pe separate from the hall for assembly & the hall for Dinner

But in junior school it was one hall for all

Dd wears jazz shoes for her pe dance class.

We've now got a marley floor square in our conservatory!

We had a sports hall but then an assembly hall where we did dance - the floor was a bit yucky for the reasons described above, the most annoying thing I remember was that the teacher kept her shoes and socks on even though we were not allowed ours....

LIZS - what do the students do who don't have jazz shoes?

Anyway hope your dd enjoys dance. For now I'm off to watch Gypsy on TV.

Snap - me too!!

Dd says barefoot or sports socks.
