Important things to ask to help you settle into your new dance studio !
Just like enrolling in school, If you’re trying dance for the very first time it’s important that you find a dance studio that can cater to your individual wants and needs. At Dance Sensations we are able to offer a program for every dancer. Whether you’re here to have fun with friends or take your training to an elite level, DS has got you covered! DS offers recreational classes in more than 8 styles so you have plenty of style options to choos from. We also offer troupe, competitive cheer and RAD exam classes so there’s bound to be the perfect class for you!
1. When are the concerts for this dance studio?
It is really important that you check any important dates when you sign up to a dance studio to make sure you can be available for the most exciting events of the year! At Dance Sensations, we send out an information package via email that’ll tell you all of the key dates and important notes! Our concert dates vary year to year but 2019 end of year concert dates are as follows:
End Of Year Concert Rehearsal – 7th December
End Of Year Concert – 14th December
Age group times have been released via email!
2. What are your total fees and charges for the year?
Just like any extra curricular activity, there are costs involved other than just the class fees such as uniforms and costume hire fees. At Dance Sensations we have a compulsory uniform for our students as we believe there are many benefts that come with having a set uniform! Check out our blog on uniform to read more about why we think they are so important! For a guide on sizing and prices, come in and chat to our reception team or give us a call!
It’s also great to ask what payment options are available and if there are any other compulsory fees for the year. All of this info will come in our info emails sent out upon trial and enrolment. At DS we offer two payment plans, one being a weekly direct debit or a pay upfront option. All fees are outlined on our fee sheets in studio and within our info pack emails!
3. What requirements are there for my classes?
Each dance studio and style of dance has different uniform or dance shoe requirements. There might also be special requirements for examination or performance classes. We try to keep our classwear requirements nice and simple to save parents any stress!
For recreational dance classes, students are required to wear any selection of our uniform accompanied with the appropriate footwear for the style.
i.e JAZZ-tan jazz shoes -CHEER-white joggers BALLET-pink ballet shoes etc. The only exception to this are ballet and troupe / exam classes.
4. Can I stay to watch the dance classes at this dance studio?
Every dance studio has a different policy on this, based on what is the safest and most effective way to run the dance class. At Dance Sensations, we believe that having parents or guardians in the classroom is quite distracting to the students. This is why we ask that all parents wait in our beautiful reception area and watch the class on the live TV screens.
5. Is my first class free?
Again, every dance studio will have a different system but it is important that you ask! At Dance Sensations, we run our trial program in a way that benefits the student most. We run a ‘love it or it’s free guaruntee’ meaning that your child is welcome to trial any class (age and level appropriate), and if they choose not to continue with the class, there is no charge.
That’s A Wrap!
