Q. Can I watch class? (Pre-Covid restrictions)
A. Parents are invited to watch their child's first class but otherwise we have a closed studio policy to give dancers the best chance to learn in a quiet non distracting environment.

(Please note due to our Covid Safe policy, only 1 parent is able to watch trial class).
