Do I need to have dance experience to join?We cater for all levels of experience! In all of our age groups, we have classes designed for complete beginners to classes designed for aspiring ballerinas. If you’re unsure which is the best class to try, get in touch!

Can I watch my dancer’s trial class/class?In our lessons we encourage independent learning and skill development, however you are welcome to watch through the window/doors. If your young dancer needs some help settling, we will invite you into the room to support your dancer with the transition. We have Celebration Week at the end of term 1, 2 and 3 where family and friends are invited to watch their dancer’s classes and celebrate their progress! You are welcome to check in with the class teacher throughout the term to discuss your child’s progress.

What is the uniform? What do I wear to a free trial lesson?We have a uniform list that will be provided to you upon enrollment. All of our uniforms can be purchased at our local dance wear stores. For a trial lesson, for dancers with experience, wear any uniform with the appropriate shoes and grooming for the genre. For complete beginners, wear anything comfortable for moving it (eg, leggings, shorts, singlet), bring socks and have your hair tied off your face.
