FAQ’s
How can I pay?
Your first class is completely free. After that we take block bookings per term. Payment can be made via bank transfer or cash.

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 work 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.

What are the class levels?
Classes are split by age, but students may move class at the discretion of the teacher depending on ability.
Can I stay in the class to watch?
We ask parents to remain outside the studios as much as possible. We understand young children find if difficult to leave parents at times but we are confident in our teachers’ ability to encourage and include new students.
