  1. Thanks everyone for the help so far, really useful advice coming through. So based on what everyone is saying I found this http://www.upminsterdance.co.uk/ and they say they do Classic Ballet which from what is being said is the 'better' one to do seriously later on? Unfortuntely the mum's local to mum recommended the school we currently attend! Its really hard to know what to do for the best
  2. If no one recommends anywhere, could I post the links on ones that I find and see what people think of them?
  3. Thanks ? I was on another forum and this one was recommended to me for help and advice about dance schools. When my dd started dance we just signed up to the local one on word of mouth recommendation which I deeply regret. The teacher herself is lovely. The owner of the the school is another story, e.g. unapproachable, over charging for costumes, no much thought or care for students, putting children onto the stage with no stage rehearsal and the costumes literally falling apart or barely hanging on, children dancing the whole number in the wings instead of on stage as the teachers didn't correct the spacing, the senior classes don't seemed to have progressed. In short the feeling is that the owner (who took over the business rather than built it up herself which could explain her attitude) seems to just care about doing as little as possible, not wanting to invest in either her teachers or students and getting money. I would love nothing more than to stop this class and the only reason I don't is that dd loves her teacher. However on the other forum the advice has been to move dd sooner rather than later. So I ideally just want my dd is the right place and then let dd make the choices of what she continues or doesn't. I feel bad enough about changing schools and would like us to settle into one and not change again.
  4. Hi all Nit sure if I'm posting on the right board but I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for a ballet school in the Upminster, Essex area? My dd is 4 and we're ideally looking for one that she can settle into and not have to keep changing TIA
