London classes or associates

[Lemongirl]

Hello, my 15 year old dd is looking for extra classes to supplement her regular ones.  She would like ballet and contemporary in particular.

 

Can anyone recommend something that might suit her?  I don't think she is strong enough for very competitive programmes.

 

We have looked at Tring Park Associates that might work but ideally I would like Central London so she can get there herself!

There’s central school of ballet, on Saturdays.  
Take a look at dance enhance too part of ballet boost.  
I'm sure there’s others too.

Perhaps look at the regular classes at Danceworks or Pineapple in central London. They are are at a variety of different levels and there's bound to be something she likes.

I can recommend Central School of Ballet associates.  Great for both ballet and contemporary.  Convenient central London location near Waterloo.

Thanks, I don't think she would get into Central unfortunately.

I'd second @taxi4ballet's suggestion of Danceworks or Pineapple. It sounds like she'd do well in beginner's classes to start with - Christina Mittelmaier is a wonderful teacher for children/young dancers.

I think Lemongirl's dd is further on than that and might do better in the general/intermediate classes. Most of the dance teachers have biographies, and they are very useful in deciding whether a class might be suitable. Don't know about Pineapple, but my dd used to do adult classes at Danceworks while she was under 16. They may have changed regs now though.
