Harper Beckham follows in mum’s footsteps and starts training at the English National Ballet as her dad David does the ‘Ballet run’
David Beckham takes his daughter to weekly ballet classes and hangs out with the other dads
SHE is already a future fashionista in the making and now Harper Beckham is following in her mum’s footsteps again.
I’ve learned that the five-year-old has taken up dance and started training with the English National Ballet.
But while she is picking up performing skills like ballet fan VICTORIA, it is doting daddy DAVID who takes Harper to her lessons on a weekly basis.
A source revealed: “David and Victoria have entered Harper into the English National Ballet.
“She goes every week and David takes her to training himself and hangs out with the other dads there. It’s really sweet.
“Harper is of the age now where she is trying loads of different things but she really loves going to ballet.
“There really is no better place for her to learn than the English National Ballet. It’s up there with the most distinguished ballet schools in the world.
“Both David and Victoria love watching her perform and helping her practise too.”
The English National Ballet is one of the UK’s four main ballet companies and taught some of the world’s top dancers so Harper is in good company in its school’s junior classes in London.
Mum Posh is a keen ballerina herself so should be able to offer her little one a few tips.
Harper already got some inspiration last Christmas when Mum took her to see the festive Nutcracker in a VIP box at London’s Royal Opera House.
And her interest in dance should calm Posh’s fears that she might become a professional footballer like Becks.
Last year Victoria said of Harper: “She loves fashion, you know, as all little girls do . . . but she loves sports. She said to me the other day ‘Mummy, I think I want to play football.’
“Dagger through the heart! I have three boys that want to play football, you know, come on, let one of them want to be into fashion or dance.”
Her wish has finally come true.
Brad's Cot it going on
BRAD PITT’s on-screen chemistry with French actress MARION COTILLARD sparked rumours of an affair – and now I can see why.
The French actress enjoys three graphic sex scenes with Brad in new film Allied, which will be unpleasant viewing for Brad’s estranged wife ANGELINA JOLIE.
In the World War Two drama, the pair make love during a desert sand storm and in the woods.
But the sauciest scene comes as Marion’s character uses a sex act to distract Brad’s from a phone call.
A source said: “Brad and Marion are one seriously good on-screen couple. Their connection is undeniable.”
Marion, who is expecting her second child with actor GUILLAUME CANET, has denied reports of a fling.
She and Brad will be at the UK premiere of Allied on Monday, which should be interesting.
Dua finds her bike groove
IT’S no wonder rising star DUA LIPA needs a motorbike, as she hasn’t stopped moving since debut single New Love last year.
The 21-year-old Londoner has lent her vocals to new SEAN PAUL single No Lie, toured the US supporting TROYE SIVAN and recorded her debut album, out in February.
Speaking in Clash magazine’s winter issue, she said of the album: “It’s everything – relationships that have already happened, current relationships, being homesick.”
She’s going to have to get used to that.
