My first impression of the ballet school was good- when I spoke to the teacher over the phone she seemed friendly and keen for my daughter who was just under 3 years at the time to start. On our first day I was a little bit like ‘what do we need to do!’ But eventually worked it out.. I was quite surprised that the teacher wanted my daughter to start her first lesson without me there, but I said ‘I don’t think she’d like that’ and she said ‘okay’ and allowed me to watch. I did think my daughter done well- she wasn’t disruptive and listened, what more can you expect from a 2.5 year old? the other children seemed lovely and was friendly towards her (they were older than her). There was a child of the same age which had started too and her mum left her and the whole time she was in the session she was crying and snuffling (the teacher did comfort her). My daughter on the other hand was barley acknowledged, she did not encourage her or make her feel welcome. She just expected her to copy the other ‘experienced’ children. After the session the teacher basically came over and said ‘I don’t think she’s ready, bring her back in a few months’ and that was it!! No phone call after and didn’t even ask what I thought! My advise to the ballet school is don’t except children from the age of 2.5 years if your expecting them to be prim and proper especially on their first day! Every child is a individual and will develop at different rates. I would completely understand if my daughter was disruptive and didn’t understand simple instructions but this was not the case!. Very disappointed.

I've been going to Coopers Edge Ballet School adult classes (open to anyone of any ability) for several years and they are enormous fun. Lots of friendly people and all four teachers we've had at different times have been highly professional and really made everyone feel welcome and comfortable. I've also helped out at events with the School and it's clear to see how much all the children enjoy their dancing and the boost to their confidence that it gives them.
my daughter is looking forward each class for over two years now.
