Performances
Students wishing to take part must attend all rehearsals and pay any required fees. For children 8 years and upwards one extra rehearsal is required in the theatre on the day of the performance.
Costumes
Therefore, costumes are bought from the school at a reasonable cost. We work hard to keep them around $30 per costume. There is at times a bit of light sewing required, and this is carried out by Jane and any volunteers.
Other Important Information
Parent Viewing
In all our classes, parents are not able to be present during class as this can be distracting to both teacher and students. However, it is important that your child is able to share their dancing with you and at the end of each term we hold an Open Day, for parents to view class in action.
Please note, it may be necessary for a parent to stay the first couple of weeks when settling a child into a Pre School Ballet class. Often a child will just want to watch their first class, taking in their surroundings, and observing their teacher and the other students. It’s a good idea to encourage participation in the second class however!
Student Safety
When you enrol your child, you will be asked to provide medical and emergency information. This information is confidential, however Dance Centre staff will have a copy of it with them at all classes. Each teacher is trained in First Aid, is provided with a First Aid Kit and has access to a phone. Please note that some physical contact may be necessary by a Dance Centre teacher to demonstrate exercises or techniques during class or if there is a need to administer first aid.

Complaints and Difficulties
If you feel concerned about your child’s dance tuition, or have any questions, it is very important that you contact the Creative Director, Jane Grech. If we are not made aware, then we have no opportunity to rectify any problems, or share the rationale on which a decision was based. Please do not speak to the teachers regarding any complaints.
