Question
I want to learn ballet very badly, but my parents can't send me to a class because they cannot afford it. Can you help me?

Answer
Hi Lily. You need a class to learn ballet. I do not know how old you are, but if you're old enough maybe you can get some work, just enough to pay for a class and the ballet wear you will need.

I can't help you any further than that Lily. But I believe that things change, and things get better. So don't give up on anything you want.

All the best, Dianne.

I have taught ballet, choreographed, produced and directed dance companies.
