Frequently Asked Questions

Can I stay and watch a class?

New families are welcome to stay and watch for the first class.  We also invite all families to come and watch a short session at the end of the last classof each term.  At all other times we ask parents to leave the class as experience over the years has taught us that the children are not distracted and are able to learn better in this environment.

Can I get a discount on classes?

We offer a number of discounts for multiple classes, families and walking or cycling to classes.

I can't see the dance style I want to take on the programme?

Please call us on 021 255 6156.  We are always willing to offer other classes where there is interest.

I'm not sure which class is best for my child?

It is important that your child is in a class that suits their ability.  The ages given for each class are indicative only and assume no prior dance experience.  In some instances children may be outside the age group specified due to previous dance experience or natural ability in a subject.  Please talk to us and if you have danced before please let us know what level / grade you have acheived in a subject and with which dancing organisation.

What should my child wear to class?

For their 1st term children may wear loose comfortable clothing that allows easy movement.  Jeans or other tight fitting trousers are not suitable as are any clothing with studs.  Jewellery must be kept to a minimum and is not permitted for examinations or performances.  A uniform is being sourced and parents will be advised of the supplier in due course.
