Parent Watching
Kindy Parents are welcome to watch to start with - but generally as the year progresses we ask that the parents drop and collect.
Watching is for Mum and Dad only as room is limited please don't bring the neighbourhood !! Siblings can be a toughy and we understand that you can’ t always leave your other children at home, but if they are distracting your child or other children in the class we ask that you quietly leave.
Special Family members visiting are welcome to come and watch, just let the teachers know before hand.
All Other Lets Dance classes are asked to please drop off and pick up from the foyer area. If your child is not happy for you to go, please come and see us we are flexible and understand every childs needs are different.
We have watching week on the last week of term, and maybe a Join in with Me Day throughout the term, but you will be notified in advance.
Unfortunately parents are asked not to film / photograph these watching days due to privacy issues.
We also ask that all “Dance Moms” stay outside – please let us do the instructing!
Fees are emailed out second week of Term, so kids can come along and try out a class first, No obligation. Fees can be paid in cash or direct deposit into BSB: 086554 Account number: 746070136
please ref childs name.
End of Year Concert – We have an End of Year Concert held in November at the Albany Entertainment Centre . We try to do this with a minimum of fuss and to make it as easy as we possibly can for you. Its very exciting , a confidence booster for the students and a wonderful opportunity to show off skills learnt throughout the year .
Additional Costumes are required for this, costs can vary from year to year but as a rough guide allow approx. $100. Costumes are generally organized for your child, unless you are otherwise informed. Dance shoes and tights will also be required for the concert but you will be notified in advance so you can purchase the necessary items.
A Costume Deposit is required by the completion of Term 2 - this confirms your childs concert participation and confirmation to order your childs costumes. Once costumes are ordered (usually in term 2 July holidays/start of term 3) you are responsible for your childs outstanding costume balance. Notes will be sent out at the beginning of Term 2 with information on costume deposit required.
Additional rehearsals at the theatre are also required throughout the week before the concert but we try to do make this as easy as we possibly can with the littles.
Parent help is needed and appreciated for these concerts, but there is not room for every parent so we send out volunteer request notes in term 3 / 4.
