Before you book a week
What is a placement visit?
It is a class with our teachers at the level they think fits, followed by a short talk with the director. We use it instead of a trial class, because a dancer's level matters more here than the first lesson. Book it on the placement page.
What are auditions like?
An audition is a class in our studio, taught by our teachers. Dancers wear practice clothes and hair up. There is no video and no solo to prepare.
How does tuition work?
It depends on the level, the number of classes a week and the track. The how tuition works page explains what sets it, how billing runs and what the extras are. We share our figures at the placement visit.
