Each figure is for one class a week. A dancer who takes a second class, or adds Street, Acro, Musical Theatre, Contemporary, Yoga or Ballet Repertoire, pays that class's fee as well. Every class the school runs is priced in the tables below.

Street Jazz and Yoga can be taken without a core dance class. Street Jazz has its own stand-alone prices below; please ask the studio for the stand-alone yoga fee.

Adults pay for the term or drop in rather than monthly, as set out under Adult classes below.

The three-week trial

Every new dancer starts with a three-week trial. We offer it to settle your child and make sure it's the right class and the right fit for you, before you enrol fully.

Every class at the school starts this way, including the add-on classes priced below. Adults get the same three-week trial.

If your dancer continues, fees then move to the monthly direct debit plan. Your first class explains how the trial works.

Joining LLDS

What you pay when your dancer joins. It is all set out in the terms and conditions.

Registration fee

A £25.00 registration fee is added to the first month's payment for all new enrolments. It is charged once.

Once registered, every enrolled student receives a complimentary goodie bag with their school T-shirt, a teddy bear and LLDS goodies. It's our gift to you for joining the school.

Your first month

The first monthly payment only covers the rest of the month you join, so you just pay for the classes that remain.

Annual membership

There is an annual membership fee of £30.00 per child for dancers in Galaxy Stars and above. It is charged on the 1st of March every year, and pro rata when you join. Preschool and Super Stars dancers do not pay it.

Worked example: Super Stars

A child joining Super Stars, the Reception class at £45.00 a month including VAT:

PaymentWhat you pay
First monthly payment, on the 15thThe classes left in the month your child joins, plus the one-off £25.00 registration fee.
Every payment month after that£45.00 on the 15th of each payment month.

Joining partway through a term changes the timing, not the rate. After the trial the studio works out your next payment so that it lines up with the dates below, and the office confirms your own figures when you book.

How the fees are worked out

In the tables below, the per-class fee is shown excluding VAT. It is multiplied across the year and split into equal monthly payments, and every monthly amount shown includes VAT. Each payment covers three weeks of classes, so the amount is the same every payment month whether a month holds four class weeks or two.

Core classes

Every core class by name, with its length and its per-class fee.

ClassDurationFee per classMonthly fee inc VAT
Me and My Adult45 mins£15.00£54.00
Mini Musical Stars30 mins£10.25£36.90
Super Stars: Ballet, Modern and Acro45 mins£12.50£45.00

Senior Grades: Modern + Tap2 × 45 mins (90 mins in total)£22.00£79.20
Senior Grades: Ballet60 mins£15.50£55.80

Where a class shows 2 × 45 mins, it is 90 minutes in total at one price: the fee per class covers the full 90 minutes. Senior Grades Modern and Tap, for example, is £22.00 plus VAT for both 45-minute classes together, not £22.00 for each.

Dynamic 5 is for a dancer taking a higher grade Modern class and a higher grade Tap class together. It is not listed on the timetable because the day depends on the dancer's level. Ask the studio which classes your dancer would join.

Add-on classes

These prices apply when the dancer also takes a core class. Each one is an extra monthly fee.

ClassDurationFee per classMonthly fee inc VAT
Junior & Inter Street Jazz45 mins£8.75£31.50
Yoga 1, 2 and 330 mins£6.25£22.50

Acro Dance & Hoop50 to 60 mins£11.00£39.60
Theatre Performance Company90 mins£15.00£54.00

Theatre Performance Company is audition only, so it cannot be booked directly. Senior Condition & Pointe and Associates are invite only, and neither is priced in these tables, so ask the studio about the fee if your dancer is invited.

Yoga can also be taken on its own, without a core dance class. The price above is the add-on price, so please ask the studio for the stand-alone yoga fee.

Stand-alone classes

These prices apply without a core class.

ClassDurationFee per classMonthly fee inc VAT
Street Jazz (no core class)45 mins£10.25£36.90

Joining partway through a term

You can start at any point in the term. After the three-week trial we work out your next monthly payment so that it lines up with the regular monthly fee dates above.

Leaving LLDS

The notice period is four weeks. The studio calculates the final payment after notice is confirmed. If you have underpaid or overpaid for classes taken, the studio settles it with a final invoice or a refund.
