Frequently Asked Questions
I am coming along/bringing my child for the first time, what should be worn?
For trial dance lessons we recommend that you/your child wear clothes that allow comfortable movement. After the trial lesson, if you decide to formally register, the school’s uniform may be purchased directly from the school.
Back to topCan I join midway through a term?
Children may register at the dance school at any time during the term and fees for that term will be adjusted accordingly. We do not want children to have to wait what could be several weeks before joining us.
Back to topFrom what age are children allowed to join the school?
Children can join the school from 3 years old.
Back to topDo you cater for children/adults with special needs?
Everyone is welcome at the school, including dancers with a disability. Students with disabilities or special needs are still able to enter performance examinations. Please feel free to contact the school to discuss any special requirements.
Back to topHow are fees charged? May I pay on a weekly basis?
Fees are paid on a term basis but pupils are able to attend a trial class before they commit to the full terms fees.
Back to topDo you follow school terms or are the classes arranged differently?
Yes. As closely as possible the school’s calendar follows school term dates. We do take half term breaks to ensure the children have an opportunity to rest.
Back to topDo pupils have to take examinations?
Examinations (through the IDTA) are offered to all pupils but are not mandatory. The school believes in giving pupils the opportunity to express themselves, their talents and feel a sense of achievement through the examination process. However, the school would in no way hold any child back in their development should they chose not to undertake exams. The school is very proud of its extremely impressive success rate across all ages.
