NO Sorry,
Our venue does not have a place for parents to watch as the classes are in one room with no viewing area.
We do not allow parents to watch classes as this really distracts the students from learning, especially when they are young.
A great opportunity to watch them is at competitions, our annual show, or borough events.
Lot of pictures and videos are put on social media so you will not go without seeing what your child does with or how they are progressing.

We except cash, bank transfers or we do have a card machine.

Will my child be expected to wear dance uniform?
YES,
Like every school, a uniform is to be worn.
when joining our school we ask for uniform to be purchased after around 4 weeks of joining. However, we do not expect you to purchase uniform all at once! Over a short or long period of time is no problem.
For Girls who come to ballet, tap, modern, acrobatics etc classes, hair, is expected to be in a bun for every class. If it is not, we will ask the parent/career or the student (if old enough) to put hair in a bun before starting a class with us.
This is / should be, standard procedure at every dance school as this is following the etiquette of dance.
