Prince Harryis on his way to becoming a plié pro!
During hissolo visit to the YMCA South Ealing in west Londonon Wednesday, the royal, who is expecting the arrival of his first child withMeghan Marklein the coming weeks, showed off his best ballet skills in a class filled with 4 to 6-year-olds.
At one point during the event, Harry, 34, asked 5-year-old Emanuel Lester what his favorite part of dance class was. In response, Emanuel told the royal it was the “ballet challenge.”
“Arms out, one leg up!” Groves instructed the class, as the children joined in and attempted to maintain their balance.

“You wobbled!” teased one dancer.
Talking to the children afterward, Harry said, “Come in, I don’t bite!” He asked Arya Twydell, 5, how long she had been doing ballet. Her answer should have been “two years,” but he was left in hysterics after she shouted, “100 years!”
He then told the group that they all deserved “gold stars” – “except you,” he teased Emanuel, who was looking the other way.
“Well done, you were fantastic,” he added.

After participating in the ballet class, Harry stopped to say hello to little Naz and mom Maria Ahmad, who were also watching.
