Not sure which?
Classes are grouped by school year, so your dancer learns and develops alongside their own year group rather than by birthday alone.
New dancers start with a three-week trial. Our Principal places each dancer in the most suitable class, and the trial is how the team finds the right level. Tell us your dancer's age and we will suggest a class and a day.
