Classes are generally graded by age, but pupils may be moved to the next age group at the directors’ discretion.
All students are required to wear the Song and Dance t-shirt to every class. This will be accompanied by black leggings or tracksuit bottoms, and runners or dance runners or tap-shoes, as appropriate.
Extra costs such as flights/hotels to attend competitions and festivals must be paid promptly so that advance planning and bookings can be made.
Each group requires a large commitment from its participants to enable the shows to be produced and performed within the tight schedules each year. Coming up to a show, extra rehearsals will typically be required.
