Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know what level class to sign up for?

If your child has no previous performance training, please click here to visit our AGES page. Register for the class relating to your child’s age and once registered we may suggest alternative options to find the perfect fit.

If your child has previous dance experience, click here to view our CLASSES and register for their relevant grade.

How much are classes?

Click on our Timetable to view the cost, day, and time of each class.

Should you then decide to join us, you will be invoiced for the remainder of the term, plus the One-Time £10.00+vat registration fee.

Can we trial a class?

We charge for a one off trial class, as places are limited & this avoids people booking in & then not attending therefore reducing spaces for others. 

What should they wear?

 Your child should wear something comfortable e.g., t-shirt, shorts/leggings, and bare feet or leotard and tights if they have them.

How do I pay my invoice?

We offer various payment options, including direct debit, to help spread the cost of your payments.

What are the performance opportunities?

Our annual summer show takes place in July and incorporates all students within the school. Few schools have retained a production every year, but we consider it to be vital that students acquire the art of live theatre performance. This is one of the highlights of our year, and so much fun for students and parents alike.

We also have a competition squad who regularly perform at festivals, competitions, and theatre productions. Competition squad performers are selected through audition only and must be studying a minimum of 3 genres with us including Ballet and attend our weekly ‘Masters’ training programme.
