A parent's comment about the show: "It was enjoyable & had a good ‘feel’
to it, which I think reflected your stated aim of encouraging the children to
dance with technical skill but with a sense of joy & perspective. I know my
children both enjoyed it & It was great as a parent to see them growing in poise
& in confidence, & without the sexualisation tendencies that I’ve seen in other
dance schools."

First position of the feet will be different for each child, depending upon how open their hips are naturally. |
