Frequently Asked Questions

Can my child join if they’ve never danced before?

Absolutely! We welcome beginners at every age and place them in classes that match their comfort level and confidence.

What should we wear to class?

We recommend comfortable dancewear (tights, leotards, or tracksuit pants) and appropriate shoes. Uniform details are shared at enrolment. We have a big box of spare tap shoes if you are trying tap before you buy your own shoes.

Do you offer trial weeks?

We offer a two-week trial with no obligation to continue

Can I watch my child?

We allow parents to watch their children in their first week, then in their second week we ask parents to leave them with us to get them used to the class environment. For our lower school students there is also a watching week at the end of term for you to see how your child has progressed.

Does my child have to take exams?

No one is ever required to take exams. We offer British Theatre Dance Association (BTDA) qualifications for those who want to mark their progress with recognised achievements. But we’re equally proud of the students who simply show up each week to dance, grow, and have fun.
