Hi all
I’m looking for ballet classes after school for my 5 year old girl & any other after school clubs for my 6year old in the se23 area?
Unfortunately my kids schools only provide certain after school activities
Many thanks in advance :blush:

Baby Ballet (Crystal Palace branch) does some excellent classes at FH Pools - my 4.5 yo loves them.

No idea about ballet I’m afraid though I have seen EOS Dance recommended in the past.

Take Flight Academy have been excellent and is at St Hildas Church near Crofton Park http://takeflightacademy.co.uk . Really been great - have classes for different age groups.

There is Jujitsu (normally from 6.5 years up) Mondays and Fridays at the Ackroid Centre - at 7pm mind you. http://www.shuhojujitsulondon.co.uk/forest-hill/4576758446 - very child friendly club.

Swimming lessons in Forest Hill Pools I think run during the week.

We go to gymnastics in Bellingham (Ladywell gymnastics) which is a bit further but very good also.

There are lots of thinks for dance, drama, sport - sometimes as best to look for Churches to see what is on in their church halls where a lot of clubs run from.

Good luck!

Thank you I will have a look at all the suggestions!

I didn’t think of churches, also my three are on the waiting list for forest hill pools swimming lessons so fingers crossed :crossed_fingers:t4: we hear something soon.
Thanks again x

Ah ok. The Horniman Dance School isn’t associated with the primary school (as far as I’m aware). Let us know how it goes, I’m always keen to hear about things my girls might enjoy.
