  • Simply fill out our enquiries/registration form through the button above and someone will be in touch with you shortly.

  • You may trial a class at any time in our Leongatha and Inverloch Studios. Please contact us for class times so that we may expect you on the day. The class fee can be settled at the Studio in cash or card. Students must complete our registration form before trialling a class.

  • In our experience preschoolers are able to concentrate better without the distraction of other noise in the room from parents and siblings. As preschoolers participate in classes they have the opportunity to develop additional secure attachments with adults (teachers) and peers. This helps them transition positively into the larger world and helps with readiness for school. Having said that, a lot of children are timid at first and need to know that a parent is close by. Our program allows parents to watch the first class if necessary to help your child adjust.

  • These performances are not compulsory for our tiny dancers but you must let us know if your child wishes to participate so we can accommodate accordingly.

  • There are no refunds on term fees regardless of the reason for the absence, including sickness and public holidays. Make up classes are available, please email for appropriate class times. Once a term has commenced there is no refund for any mid-term withdrawals; you are obliged to complete the term. We must be notified in writing before the new term commences so that the appropriate changes to your account can be made. Simply no longer attending classes is not considered a cancellation, we must be notified in writing of your intention to withdraw.

  • Small adjustments may need to be made to your child’s costumes when they are sent home. We ask that parents assist us by making their child’s costume user friendly and stage ready. All costume hire costs are built into your fees. Students should have already purchased tights and shoes for their classes.

  • Our preschool classes are paid on a direct debit basis over the 37 weeks of the dancing year.

  • You may swap days if you miss a class (as long as the make up class is not full). We do recommend that you avoid alternating days too much as pre-schoolers need the comfort of knowing that the same teacher and their friends will be there when they go to dancing. Please notify us if you require attending an alternate day.
