WEEKS 1 TO 4 – TRIAL RUN
For this period we ask that you come dressed with t-shirts, leggings or jogging trousers. If you have long hair this must be worn up in a bun.
WEEKS 4 TO 8 – JUST JOINED
After paying your membership we give you the opportunity to get the uniform in stages.
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.
WEEK 9 TO 12 – COMPLETE MEMBER
Ideally in this period the rest of the complete uniform is to be brought and used at every class.
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.

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.

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Repeated failure to comply with payment terms without a valid reason may result in a request for the child to be withdrawn from classes, with all outstanding fees becoming immediately payable.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

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.
