Comments: "I cannot recommend highly enough the dance classes that Helena teaches in Gracia.
We found a leaflet in our local library and Tommy ( just 5 ) goes to a class for 4-6 year olds every Monday. There are classes in Catalan and English. Tom goes to the Catalan clas and Helena translates for him when he doesn't understand.
It is a wonderful moment for him to relax and dance and play. It fills a creative gap that is not filled at school. The class is always structured, with a theme and a rhythm to it. There are 6-8 children in the class. I am always impressed with the choices of music that Helena makes, that are thought-out and prepared before-hand. As a dancer by profession, and a mum, I am delighted to have found the Collage studio and Helena's classes. Tommy told me once he wanted to live there!" (JH)
