Confirmation of Attendance
Can you please reply to this email confirming your child’s place in their class no later than the 30th January. We would appreciate knowing if your child is not going to come back as well. This helps with the planning of classes as some classes may change if we do not have enough in the class.

This year we welcome back Jasharna, Amelia, Nicole, Courtney, Avril and myself. We are all looking forward to seeing everyone back.
Term One Fees
The invoice for Term One will be sent out following this. Fees are due by 9th February. A lot of people have found paying by automatic payment has been a huge help. You can also include costume and exam fees in this amount if you wish. Please contact me if you would like further information on this option.
We have had to review our pricing and new term fees will be as follows:-
Pre-schooler classes $95.00 per term
30-minute class $100.00 per term
45-minute class $110.00 per term
Senior classes (2 classes a week) $150.00 per term (This is for Term 1 & 2 only where Senior classes are required to come twice a week)
Uniform
All students will be expected to wear the correct uniform. If your child has grown out of their uniform, we can sell it on behalf of – please put a sticker with your name and price on the item and bring it in to dancing the first week back. If you need a new uniform, please contact me via email so I can arrange for you.
Important Dates
Exams are held at the end of Term 2. We do not have confirmed dates as yet but it is generally in the last two weeks of the term which is 16th June – 27th June. If your child is planning to sit exams, we will also be making compulsory practices the first week of the holidays between Term 1 & 2. This worked really well last year. Timetable will be confirmed closer to the time but if you know your child is going to sit exams, please keep the week of 14th – 17th April free for extra practices.
The Events Centre is booked for Friday 14th & Saturday 15th November for our Cabaret so please keep this weekend free. Rehearsal dates at the Events Centre are scheduled for Monday 10th & Tuesday 11th November. Other rehearsal dates at Dalefield Hall will be advised closer to the time.
Enjoy the rest of the holidays and we look forward to seeing you soon!
Kind regards
Jacqui
