Q: how do i enrol?

A: If you have chosen which class seems suitable for you, then you can fill out a registration form here. If you have any questions, you can enquire here. Once an enquiry or enrolment is received, our team will ensure you are going into the appropriate class, and confirm your place. If you are a new student, a $30 non-refundable deposit may be asked for to secure your place in the class. From there, invoices are emailed within the first two weeks of term.
 

Q: I am being told the class is already full, what does this mean?

A: We limit class sizes to 16 per class to ensure that everyone in the class in enabled to achieve to their best standard. To accommodate this, existing students have first choice, and then we go on a first in first served basis. If a class is already full, we can put you on a waiting list until a spot becomes available. (Open classes may have increased class numbers due to the nature of the class).

Q. I have other children to look after, can i bring them along

A: Usually, we ask that we do not have any observers in the room as we find that this is less distracting for the dancers and teachers and allows our dancers to maintain focus in class. We have a dressing room available to wait in, with toys and videos.

The only exception to this is Twinkle Tots, where other children under 2 years are welcome to come along.

Q: do i have to stay and watch

A: No - we take full responsibility for your child during class time. However if your child is a little more nervous it may be reassuring to have you there. We do ask that you are on time to pick up your child, as we have no staff members outside of class to watch.
 

Q: Why do you have age limits on classes?

A: The syllabi that we follow in class for exams have very strict age limits that we must follow. For this reason we extend these down to our pre-school, so as students progress through the levels, there are no issues.

Q: i am not able to get a uniform ready for the first class, what should i do?

A: We understand that having a uniform organised for the first class is sometimes too much to ask. We do not mind if for the class you do not have the correct gear. We do however ask that you wear tight-fitting black clothes, so you are able to participate in the class. Bare feet a good substitute for ballet or jazz shoes.

Q: my child is under 7 years, why can't they do styles other than ballet?

A: We find that if students get a firm foundation in ballet, they are much more likely to succeed at other styles, and therefore enjoy it more.
