Acting and Singing With Archetypes (Janet Rodgers and Frankie Armstrong) and Acting the Song, Performance Skills for the Musical Theatre (Tracey Moore with Allison Bergman) are good, I used them for my dissertation on creating character in musical theatre, not sure if they’re what you’re wanting 

Wondered if anyone else’s children are taking part in this? I’ve booked my daughter (6) onto the primary/grade 1 class (haven’t told her yet, it’ll be a surprise nearer the time!) 

My daughter started ballet in January at 5yo (year 1, summer birthday), at the time she was really struggling with school (she doesn't process things very quickly and we suspect dyslexia), since starting ballet though she processes things far more quickly, her spelling in particular has gotten much better and she concentrates far easier. She really loves ballet (she decided after about 2 lessons that she was going to be in the Royal Ballet when she grows up - no other company will do xD )

Obviously this is anecdotal but the changes in her academically and in her confidence were incredible once she started ballet, it could be interesting to focus on if you can find others have had similar experiences
