Prince Harry faces "The Ballet Challenge"
The group of young ballet dancers were delighted when Prince Harry spontaneously surprised them during their Wednesday afternoon lesson. The class performed two dances for him. Harry made the mistake fo asking Emanuel Lester (5) what his favourite part of the lesson was. The young dancer replied, "the ballet challenge".
Teacher Jade Groves quickly explained that it was an exercised used by students to improve their balance.The children showed Harry how it was done, all standing on one leg with plastic discs balanced on their heads. The Duke of Sussex immediately joined in, but was teased by one pupil as he wobbled around.
