With my mid-season break approaching fast I am so excited to be planning a few teaching appointments back in England for when I return home for a few days.

class

I will be returning to The Dancehouse Theatre in Manchester for some Beginners and Advanced ballet classes and will also be teaching some young ballerinas back at my first ever ballet school Lynn McCheyne – Ballet/Tap/Jazz Department.

I can’t wait for another opportunity to share my ballet knowledge with eager students as teaching is becoming one of my new passions the more I do it.

So if anyone is in Manchester on the 13th Feb come and join us in the studio. For more information contact me or click here: Beginner/Pre-Intermediate & Advanced Ballet Workshops Tue 13th.

I look forward to teaching, learning and sharing the love of dance.

With love,

Harriet
