Report
Dance for All have a great selection of dance classes for children, young people and adults. They have a brilliant attitude towards dance for children, none of the snobbiness or melodrama that I had encountered at other dance classes. They know that ballet for a 3 year old isn't a serious affair! The teachers are friendly and knowledgeable, and the place has the feel of a lovely old dance school from a Noel Streatfield novel.
