What to expect.

Making Dance Affordable.

We understand that dance can be an expensive activity, and we are committed to minimizing costs while maintaining quality. Keeping dance affordable is important to us. Below is an outline of what to expect throughout the year:

Monthly Dance Fees.

With over 60 classes per week, you have the flexibility to choose how many classes to attend, giving you full control over your dance costs.

Students can attend anywhere from 1 class per week to over 10 classes per week. Generous discounts apply for multiple classes—the more classes you take, the larger the discount per class.
Fees are based on a 4-term NSW school year and divided into 11 equal monthly payments (February–December) to spread costs evenly across the year.
Monthly billing remains consistent, even during months with school holidays or shorter months like December.
