ENROLMENT
All new students are required to attend a trial class first. This allows us to ensure the class is the right fit for your child in terms of age, ability and learning style. Following the trial, we will confirm placement and enrolment details.

CLASSES
We offer a range of classes including ballet, tap, modern, and other styles depending on age and level.
Yes. Dance is a team discipline, and regular attendance is essential. Consistent attendance allows students to progress confidently and ensures classes run smoothly for everyone. Frequent absences make it difficult for students to catch up and can impact group work.
Examinations are not compulsory. They are offered to students who are ready and wish to participate.
We offer:
• External examinations through recognised organisations such as the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD), Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD) and Acrobatics Arts.
Examinations provide valuable feedback on a student’s progress and give dancers clear goals to work towards.
Our students have a 100% pass rate in externally examined syllabi.
UNIFORM &
COSTUMES
Yes. Uniform is compulsory for all students aged 3 years and above, excluding students enrolled in adult classes.
Uniform helps:
• Remove distractions caused by varying costumes and styles
• Allow teachers to clearly assess technique, alignment, and movement
• Promote equality, discipline, and respect for the art form
Uniform is not required for the initial trial class. During trials, students may wear any comfortable clothing they can move easily in (e.g. leggings and a t-shirt) and may dance in bare feet if they do not yet own dance shoes.
Students should bring:
• Appropriate dance shoes
• Dancewear/uniform
• A drink bottle
• Extra hair pins and elastics
• Shoes to wear to and from class (dance shoes should not be worn outside)
