My dance teachers in this studio have been what I was looking for: enthusiasm, energy and creativity! In addition, most of the time, they give you the opportunity to dance socially and with teacher supervision! Dance party time and showcases are always on the agenda! Once my daughter has finished her final exams, I will be spending as much time as possible practising my cha cha and salsa moves! Can't wait for the next party! 🙂— Carole Janiaud

What age is too late to start ballet?
