Your first ballet class with us being a trial class, there is no obligation. If your child decides that it is not for her/him, a fee of £5.00 only is due for this trial class.
However, if you would like to continue with ballet classes, fees will be invoiced on prorated basis from your initial trial class.
For your trial class, your child should be able to move freely. Please dress your daughter with a skirt, a fairy dress or T-shirt and leggings. For boys a fitted T-shirt combined with a pair of shorts is appropriate.
If you do not have ballet shoes, it is best for your child to be bare feet or with non-slippery socks.
How fees work:
All returning pupils must pay the Full ½ Term’s fees (6 weeks) by the first class of term. (Only new starters may pay on prorated basis)
We offer a “first come first served” policy. Our classes being popular, your early full fees’ payment insures a place for your child in the class of your choice.
Should you have your Credit/Debit cards details in our system, 3 days before fees are due, payment will be automatically taken unless you disable the Autopay in your Portal’s profile.
Should you not be able to attend classes at the beginning of the following term, full fees are still due and missed class(s) can be made up during the same term.
At the end of each term, you are sent an invoice. Should you wish to carry on with your classes, full payment must be done by the first class of the ½ term (6 weeks).
Payments for fees can be made by:
(Please note, to pay for your uniform orders or a trial booking see our shop page)
Eg. Child one comes twice a week + child 2 come once a week = (0% off child 1’s 1st class + 5% off child 1’s 2nd class) + (5% off child 2’s fee).
