From December…
Fusion classes will be invoiced monthly. We are saying goodbye to pay as you go payments to reduce admin, as still, so many people do not pay before class.
Mixed Aged Fusion £20 monthly
Intermediate Fusion £25 monthly
Private Lesson fees will increase to:
£30 for 30 minutes
£50 for 60 minutes
Core membership classes
There will be a price increase from January 2025 to make our core membership classes viable. This pricing will now be comparable to other schools and will reflect the skill, creativity, time and input needed for the specific classes below.
Pre preparatory £30
Preparatory £35
Elementary £40
Intermediate £45 (we are aware this is a steep increase, unfortunately it is the only way to make it viable, if you cannot afford the new price, your intermediate child is welcome to attend our elementary class instead, depending on the response, we may have to stop offering our intermediate class)
Sibling discounts from January:
If your first child has been with us for…
1-4 years 5% off core memberships only
5-9 years 10% off core memberships only
10 years plus 20% off core memberships only
Competitive Team
After the National Competition in November, our Tuesday class will take a short break and resume in January. Again, there is a price increase and payments will be made monthly instead of weekly:
Mini £25
Junior £25
Intermediate £25
If, after November, your child or you no longer want your child to compete, please let us know so we can adjust placings and choreography.
As most of you are aware, we are a not for profit company. Unfortunately, after a few funding applications this year, all have been unsuccessful. Like everything else, our outgoings have also increased. We are really struggling as a business and have been for quite some time, forcing us to increase our prices quite significantly. We know we are not alone, many fellow dance and performing arts school are facing the same issues. These days, children do multiple extra curricular activities, costing families more money overall and shifting focus and dedication from one activity. Sadly, we are at point where we cannot continue with our current prices, so to prevent our fabulous academy from closing this is our only solution.
Thank you for reading.
