Ballet Open Day

Today was the last day of term at JM Warts and Dance and an 'open day' .  This was a rare chance for us to attend the class and see our little verruca in action.  

One thing I learnt was that the teachers are very good with kids.   For example, instead of criticizing or nagging the children she demonstrated what they were doing wrong and asked 'is this right?'.  The little girls loved singing out 'no its not!'

At the end the parents were briefly allowed to take photos.

Another thing we learnt  is that JMW are very good at marketing.  The second part of the open day was demonstrations from more advanced classes.   "This is what your little verruca will be doing next year..  and after 2 years (HKD 40k).. and after 5 years (HKD 100k)...  and after 10 years (don't ask)... "    Hannah went in wanting to quit and came out asking to be signed-up for 2 classes per week.
