What happens if I miss a class?

As the classes are booked in advance unfortunately we cannot offer a refund for missed classes. However, if you start half way through a term you will only pay from your first class onwards.

Can I sit exams at the end of the year?

Yes. We teach syllabus from the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing and put students forward yearly when they have achieved the required level to sit the exams. These are internationally recognised qualifications and help build a fantastic profile for future applications showing commitment and achievement in extra curricular activities.

Classes are split by age and the level will be adjusted to the students in each class. Ages are a guide and students may move class at the discretion of the teacher depending on experience.

Can I stay in the class to watch?

We ask parents to remain outside the studios as much as possible. We understand children find if difficult to leave parents at times but are confident in our teachers’ ability to encourage and include children. Our experience has shown us when parents are out of sight; the students often join in and enjoy the class.

Is there a changing room?

Yes. There are changing facilities and toilets at both venues.
