All our Baby ballet children have to be fully potty trained, dry and out of nappies before attending a free taster class.

No. Every student at Dance Sensation is entitled to a free taster class before enrolling into the school.

Yes, providing there are no covid restrictions. What we currently do is leave the main door open so you can stay and watch from outside to see how your child settles into class.

Due to covid we are currently unable to have parents waiting in the waiting area. Once we are able to operate in a covid free environment, then we will be able to open up our waiting rooms again in the near future.

It's not ideal but for the past year parents have been waiting in cars or outside while their child’s class takes place.
