WELCOME TO FUSION

a Dance School different from the rest

ABOUT US

As the name suggests we are a fusion of styles for all children to achieve and have fun with. We cover ballet, tap, modern, street, musical theatre and freestyle dance. On Saturdays we have most of our classes. The class varies and therefore ensures the children enjoy it. The classes are structured into segments devoted to the subjects.
We pride ourselves on fully qualified teachers with the IDTA (International Dance Teachers Association) as well as being DRB checked for you as parents’ peace of mind. All teachers and helpers also hold Chaperone licences. Our primary aim is to help your child realise their potential in a fun and safe environment. Additionally, the Principal is also a qualified teacher with the ISTD (Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing) and RAD (Royal Academy of Dance).

We have maximum numbers in our classes to ensure that each child is attended to and ballet only classes are even small due to the technical nature of the subject.
Examinations will be taken in these subjects with the IDTA which helps the children see their progression. These will always be notified in advance and it is important for everyone to make these sessions.

We also hold shows every 18 months at the Towngate Theatre for that full performer’s experience. Additionally, we have performed at Her Majesty's Theatre in the West End, The Indigo and Disneyland Paris.

We accept children from 3 years old but you are never too old to learn!

So what are you waiting for? Come and have a try.

Firstly the shoes are the most important both tap and ballet shoes. If you then can get the leotards and skirts for the girls and for boys the correct shorts or trousers this enables the children to move better and feel the movement.

FULL UNIFORM IS SOLD AT FUSION AS WELL AS DETAILS CAN BE GIVEN WE SUGGEST BALLET SHOES ARE PURCHASED FIRST AND THEN ONCE YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE 4 WEEK INITIAL TRIAL THEN UNIFORM IS BROUGH TO ENSURE YOU KNOW YOUR CHILD IS HAPPY.

Dress Code
 Hair must be worn off the face in a French plait or bun.

No jewellery, watches, or accessories are to be worn during classes.

Dance uniform is required after the four-week trial period. Details on the required uniform are attached.

For the trial period, pupils may wear a t-shirt with leggings or jogging bottoms.

All uniforms, including shoes, must be clearly named to avoid loss or confusion.

Fees can be paid by cash or online transfer to Fusion Dance School (Sort Code: 40-30-25, Account Number: 11494058).

A £10 administrative charge will be added to payments that are over seven days late.

Repeated failure to comply with payment terms without a valid reason may result in a request for the child to be withdrawn from classes, with all outstanding fees becoming immediately payable.

Fees are reviewed annually in July for the new term starting in September. All fees, discounts, and lesson times are available on the website.

Notice of   Missed Classes and Absences

Fees for missed classes remain chargeable. Exceptions may be considered for prolonged absences due to illness or other valid reasons, at the discretion of the principal.

All lessons must be paid for by the first week of the month for the upcoming month’s classes. An additional £10 administrative fee applies for each week that payments are overdue. Payments can be made monthly, half-termly, or termly, at the parent's discretion.
