Once you are happy that your child wants to continue dancing with us,there is a 2 month trial period in non uniform and for insurance reasons after this time you will need to purchase our regulated uniform (other variations of uniform will NOT be accepted ) this will be worn for class each week and exams.

This can either be ordered through the dance school or at a dance wear shop (details available on our uniform list).Hair must be tied back for the lessons due to health and safety.

We will be either working towards our annual show or exams which are both optional but play a very important role in dance.

​

Our shows are enjoyed by all the children as they love dressing up in costumes and performing on stage.

​

Our exams are held in Tap,Ballet and Modern with recognised dance boards the children will be entered once they reach examination standard where they will receive a certificate on completion of the exam,and with curtain grades giving the child a G.C.S.E equivalent qualification.

The fees will need to be paid for in advance,they will be due on the first lesson of each month.

They can be paid by either cash, cheque or Bank Transfer
