I'm looking for a dance class for my 4 year old. We have given up ballet as it didn't really suit her, some kind of free movement/ street dance is what I'm looking for. I know the ballet schools in Dulwich Village do such classes but I don't have transport and so would prefer SE22 or SE15. She did Diddi Dance which she loved but she is now too old for that. Thanks.

Hi Jean,


I run a Street Dance Class called Dizzy Rascalz at the Coppleston Centre on a Wednesday afternoon at 4pm for children aged 4 thru to 11 (we run 2 classes back to back) the kids really love this class, and the teacher is great, they learn routines from High School Musical, Dizzy Rascal, and have just learnt the routine to Thriller.


The class did a little dance show at Dulwich Park Christmas fair in December which they loved. Please come for a free trial and see what you think and if you decide to join up its only 5.00 a session. Really look forward to seeing you there. If you have any questions please contact me on [email protected].

Netty100, this class sounds fun, and I'm sure my older daughter (age 5) would like to do this. But I've also got a younger child (2) so my question is, what do people do about younger siblings if the older one wants to go to an after-school class? Do the parents/childminders stay and watch, and if so, is there somewhere for the younger ones to play? Or do the carers go off for an hour (or however long it is) with the little ones in tow?


I'm a bit new to after-school classes - it seemed simpler when all our local activities were just aimed at 'under-fives' and both kids could go along at the same time.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
