The Ballet Class That Changed Our Lives.
Dancing makes me happy, no I don’t mean dancing around in my underwear to 80’s music (that’s a whole other story), I’m talking about 30 minutes on a Friday when I get to watch Lola dancing. She doesn’t attend a dance school with uniforms, we tried that and it didn’t suit us at the moment, […]
