Question 1

Do you offer a free trial class?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we do as we feel it’s important for you to know that the class is suitable before you sign up.

Question 2

What does my child wear to his/her first class?

Accepted Answer

Pleas send your dancer along in tights and a t-shirt with comfortable shoes for their first class. Don’t forget a labelled water bottle.

Question 3

Are fees paid weekly?

Accepted Answer

We invoice per school term. Fees are due by week two of each term. If a student misses a class, you may request a make-up lesson in terms 1,2 & 3 only.

Question 4

Is there an enrolment fee?

Accepted Answer

An annual non-refundable registration fee of $45 per student, $75 for two siblings or $95 for three or more siblings must be paid to cover administration costs, insurance and intellectual property fees for music.

Question 5

Can parents watch the classes?

Accepted Answer

We don't allow parents to sit inside the dance space due to distractions that occur with parents and siblings in the room. One of our rooms has glass doors and the other will remain open when appropriate. ‘Ready set dance’ parents may sit in and watch the first class to help settle their young child into class. There are special tactics to help ease your child into class so please don’t worry if it takes a few classes for them to settle.

Question 6

Do we need to purchase uniform and shoes?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we do require all students to wear our studio uniform and dance shoes. We want our students to feel a sense of belonging. Uniforms not only enhance the student’s sense of importance as a dancer, but also empowers them that sense of pride and ownership in their dance school. All studio uniform items are ordered directly through us and we have size samples available. Dance shoes can be purchased at Centre Stage Dancewear in Castle Hill or flair Dancewear in Wetherill Park.

Question 7

Does my child need to participate in the end of year concert?

Accepted Answer

The Concert is NOT compulsory but is encouraged. It’s a great way to reward students for their hard work all year. It gives each child joy and builds their confidence. It’s a rewarding experience for them to get up on stage and perform to family and friends.
Step in Time hold one concert for our pre-school students and another for our school age students.

Question 8

Do I need to purchase costumes for the concert?

Accepted Answer

You will be required to purchase one costume per class that your child is enrolled in. We work extremely hard to ensure that costumes are reasonably priced for our families while maintaining a professional standard.
