DD aged 12 wants to re-start ballet lessons after giving up at when she was around 7. Her lovely teacher at the time said she was a bit of a natural, but obviously she'll be very far behind girls her age who continued all these years! I think a beginner/catch up course would be great for her - or a teen class that has a mix of abilities...
I saw the recent thread here of someone in a similar situation - lots of responses recommending Danceworks and Pineapple, and will look into those for sure. But does anyone have recommendations for classes in North London? Highgate Ballet School looks pretty full on with working to grades, and given she's not been practicing for a long time, probably isn't the right environment...anyone know any others? x
