How do I enrol?
​Please contact us at hello@andersondance.com.au to discuss enrolment.
Do I need to attend classes regularly?
It is essential that classes are attended consistently. If students frequently miss classes, it is difficult for them to catch up on what they may have missed and it is also difficult for other students to work around those who are missing.
How do I pay?
All classes are charged on a Term by Term basis. Once enrolment has been received and confirmed, you will be sent an invoice for the Term. More information can be found on our Class Fees Page.
Can parents watch the class?
​​You are welcome to come and watch but please stay behind the mirrors.
Are there any COVID Restrictions?
ADC follow the Victorian government guidelines in relation to all Covid Restrictions.
** You will be updated by email with any changes to restrictions.
Are masks required?
Masks must be worn in alignment with the updated COVID guidelines.
Is it compulsory to do competitions?
Performance Team - It is optional whether students dance in troupes at competitions. If students intend on joining our “A TEAM”, both the student and parent need to understand that, to reach competition standard, a commitment must be made. All performance team classes and rehearsals must be attended and a troupe commitment form must be signed by student and parent at the beginning of the year. Students missing rehearsal will not be able to remain in the troupe.
Private Lessons – This is optional also. All private lesson students are able to enter solo dances for competitions if they wish in consultation with their private lesson teacher. Again, full commitment is required in all aspects of competition work, including attendance at private lessons, practise at home and allowing for costume requirements. Solos are great for students of any age to gain self-esteem, confidence and performing skills to further their dancing careers.
Do I have to practice?
In order to improve we all need to practise especially when exams, competitions or our end of year concert are approaching. All dancers should practise at home each week and gently work on their flexibility each day to improve, build on their skills and achieve their dance goals.
How do I chose what class to enrol in?
Our Dance Classes page allows you to chose your age group which will direct you to a page with all classes available.
Please feel free to contact us at hello@andersondance.com.au if you wish to discuss which classes would be best suited for you.
