What should students wear to the free trial?

Leggings and a t-shirt are fine for the free trial class. But they can also wear a tutu if they have one – whatever makes them feel comfortable. They can also bring a pair of socks/shoes. All other students will be in the appropriate uniform for their class, which can be purchased once enrolment is confirmed from Geelong Dance Supplies – you can view more details here.

Can parents/caregivers watch the class?

Parents and caregivers are usually able to drop off their children for class and head down to Pako for a coffee or wait in our foyer. We will have your details on hand to call you back should your child need anything. Our studio door will be open and you are most welcome to pop your head in to see how your little one is enjoying their class so you know if our classes suit your needs. At the end of each term we hold an open day so you can see your child’s progress.

What are the dates of classes ongoing?

Our classes follow a school term. Classes do not run during school holidays or on public holidays.

What are the costs ongoing?

Tuition varies per class, age group and time duration. Pre-School classes begin at $180 per term. Discounts are available in our pricing structure once students start attending multiple classes per week.
