Reminders

Please NAME all items as we have so much lost property.

Hair must be tied up for all classes and in a BUN for ballet.

Pupils MUST wear the correct uniform for each class…. no tracksuits are to be worn in ballet classes.

New starters are required to have uniform on week 4 of joining.

Pre-Juvenile ballet classes….Dress up end of terms & Parents welcome to watch to view progress!

Please ensure your Child visits the toilet before classes to save them missing part of their class.

Please can you rough the soles of your child’s tap shoes & spray with hairspray as we are finding the hall floors a bit slippery at times.

Please also remember it is our policy that if your child misses 3 consecutive weeks of class and we have not been notified, we will assume that they are not returning and they will be removed from the register. We must know class numbers and have the correct information on file for insurance reasons.
