Hi there,
I wanted to know if there’s an possibility for drop in students? When I was little I danced with Aunty Cathy and have since taken up ballet for some years abroad. But I’ll be in Port Elizabeth and I’d love to know if she does any of the adult classes and if there’s any way someone could come to one or two classes only.
I would just really love to have one more class with my first ballet teacher.
Hi Lesley,
I am sure she would love to see you again. The adult ballet meet on a Wednesday at 18H30. Sorry I only saw this comment now.
Good evening,
I hope you are keeping well.
I’m looking for rates for me and my friend. We’re looking to learn hip hop and Latin dances. We both 49 years and love to dance.
