Hi the link in my first post takes you to the website which tells you about the price and all the info you need. Rick Tjia from Cirque is Classical Ballet and not gymnastics and Natalie James is contemporary, being flexible will be an advantage in this class but not something which should put you off attending. the price is £30 in total for the masterclass ????

Hi Taximom, The teacher will be able to take it to the highest of standards, so it's worth asking

Hi Taximom, its worth getting in touch to see if 22 is to old ? If the people booked on are at the upper end of the age range then 22 isn't that much over ?
