GENERAL INFORMATION FOR JOINING OUR GREEN STARS CLASSES

Here is the information you need to know following up your enquiry for your child to join our friendly dance school. 

💚Your child would join our Green Stars Group. Within this fun and educational class your child will be taught Ballet, Tap, Modern, acrobatics and singing! Exam classes are also covered within their class too (optional to take, but still included in the class)
💸Each lesson is £6. First lesson FREE!
🕒Every class is 4:15-5:15pm on a Wednesday. Arrive around 4:05pm. 
🔔The venue is the Becontree Avenue Baptist Church, 563 Becontree Avenue,Dagenham, 
RM8 3JR.
🚪 Entrance is through the side of the building and exit for your child is either the side or the front of the building. Our venue has a car park . We do advise using off street parking but feel free to use the carpark with in mind that children will be walking through.
👋There isn’t a waiting room so drop off and pick up is needed. Feel free to wait at The British Legion (just down the road from this venue). Only drinks and snacks that are bought at the bar are to be consumed and any young children with you will need to be kept sitting down- not running around the venue. If this does happen, we will be contacted.
PAYMENT 
💸Either by cash or bank transfer, Lesson fees are to be paid at the beginning of each lesson and if your child is absent 1 lesson, that payment is to be paid on the return the week after. 
So pay if you attend or not*
*This rule applies to lots of clubs, not just us, like swimming, brownies, scouts, gyms, other dance schools etc 
Monthly payments are preferred but paying weekly is acceptable. We however do have a list of reasons of being excused to pay for example: attending a funeral, broken a bone, hospitalised, chicken pox, school trips (education), dance productions. Over all it is the principals discretion. 

ATTENDANCE 
🙏We ask that attendance is regular and that you encourage your child to do well within class. ,The first lesson is free to see if they like it!

WHAT TO WEAR/ BRING? 
👚Bring your child in something they can move in like leggings, trousers, T-shirt. Not jeans please. 
💧Bring a Water bottle. 
👱🏽‍♀️Hair for girls is expected to be in a bun for every class (you will find this at most dance schools as we follow the Etiquette of dance) lots of quick tutorials on YouTube of how to put hair into a bun!

🙂If your child enjoys their first FREE lesson with us and would like to carry on classes, after 4 weeks, uniform is needed and is bought from us. If you wish to get it before this is fine. 
Please do not attempt to by uniform online or from a shop as we have certain makes and styles of uniform that have our students wear, much like school uniform. (You will find this at lots of other dance schools not just ours)

Competitions and events are optional to perform at but our annual show is the only event we say they must attend.
