Frequently Asked Questions

Does my dancer need any experience to join?

Finding the ideal class placement for your dancer is important to us. We will work with your dancer to find their perfect package to support their experience and goals. Please contact us to enquire about classes for your dancer.

What should I wear?

For your first class with us, we ask that you wear any appropriate dancewear and shoes. Once your class placement is confirmed, we will help fit your dancer for their uniform, payment for this will be processed to your nominated bank account or credit card.

How big are the classes?

Classes are kept small to make sure each dancer gets personal attention and feels part of the group. This helps build a real sense of community and connection with their teacher and new classmates.

Can I stay and watch the class?

We understand that it can take a few weeks to settle into a new environment. Due to space and safety, parents aren’t able to stay in the room during class- but there’s a cosy waiting area just outside, and you’re always welcome to pop your head in for a peek! You’ll still feel completely connected to your dancers journey, with regular photos, videos and class updates shared directly to you through our easy-to-use parent app. It’s such a lovely way to see their confidence grow each week.

Can I do a trial?

Joining a regular class from day one allows your dancer to:

Build confidence more naturally

Settle into the group quickly

Make new friends and feel part of a genuine community

Ease into routines in a calm, familiar way

Start learning new skills with a sense of belonging

Classes fill quickly, so enrolling directly also guarantees a space without the pressure or uncertainty of short-term trials
