Adult pupilAdult ballet and tap, via Facebook post “My daughter has been at MK dance for a few months now and she loves it. The teacher, Kathryn is absolutely fantastic - she makes the class fun but also teaches them the basics of ballet and tap so well. My daughter is 4 and in the youngest class and I can see her getting better week on week. Couldn't recommend it enough!”
