What's on this term is always on the live timetable.
How do I enrol and pay?
New families: find a class on our timetable and book a trial class online. After the trial we confirm the right level with you; then you enrol for the rest of the term online when online enrolment is open, otherwise we send an invoice for the rest of the term.
Families already with us are invoiced by email for each term; pay by bank transfer using the invoice number as the reference. Enrolled families can log in to the WeDance Pro parent app to see their timetable.
What should I do if my child misses a class?
Report the absence in the parent app before class and you get a make-up credit (up to 3 per term for each child on term fees), to use within the same term.
Missed classes are not refunded; the one exception is a whole period away from New Zealand — tell the front desk the dates. More about absences and make-ups
What does my child wear?
Ballet students wear the WE DANCE uniform: a pink leotard for RAD Pre-Primary and Primary and a blue leotard for RAD Grades 1–4, with ballet shoes; please ask us which leotard other levels need. Jazz classes have a WE DANCE jazz uniform. Uniforms and shoes are in our shop: order online, then pick them up at the front desk.
