I have a friend who was offered a place at the Royal Ballet School. Her father refused to let her go. He said it would be a waste because she wouldn't be dedicated and hard working enough. In fact she is one of the hardest workers I know
and totally dedicated in anything she does. I think she would have understood if she'd been told they couldn't afford it but as it was she never forgave her father.
She must have been remarkable to get into the Royal Ballet School. It’s very, very difficult to get a place there. I’d have moved heaven and earth to let a child go.
