Monday afternoons/evenings (3.45pm to 8.30pm) commencing 2nd November in Leytonstone, East London. It is a mixed bag of lessons and so requires a versatile, multi-genre teacher.

There is also a very short 15 minute tap class tagged onto the youngest children's ballet class - so only at a very basic level.
