Friday 14th November 2025; 7.00pm & Saturday 15th November 2025; 12.00pm
COSTUMES:
- We purchase all costumes for our end of year performances, therefore there is little or no sewing to be done, however additional trims may be required in some instances.

PHOTO SHOOT:
- We have a professional photographer who does a photo shoot in full costume that will be held in the dance studio, before dress rehearsal. All students will be able to have their group & individual photos taken.
PARENT WATCHING:
- Parents are allowed to watch for the first few weeks of term, so that new students feel comfortable. We then ask that parents remain outside the studio whilst class is in progress for the benefit of all students & teachers as it does become distracting.
- Our watching week is the fifth week of each term so please feel free to come into class that week.
PICK UP AND DROP OFF:
- Unfortunately, it is hard for us to monitor the entire goings on before students enter or leave the centre, therefore as parents, we ask that you drop off and pick your children up on time.
- All students under the age of 10 will need to be dropped off & picked up by a parent or guardian, from the studio.
STATE DANCE ASSOCIATION EXAMS:
- We follow the State Dance Association syllabus & all Jazz , Tap & Classical classes will learn exam work in class.
- In our opinion the exam syllabus provides a crucial part of learning proper technique and they also give students the opportunity to further develop strength, flexibility & confidence.
- On passing, all students will receive a certificate and a medal
- Exams are held once a year, towards the end of Term 2.
