Taster sessions
Unsure if you want to sign up for a course? You can sign up to one of our taster sessions to see if a course is for you. Each taster session is priced at £4.50 for members of the public. Please note that signing up to a taster session does not guarantee you a place on the course. Please note that taster sessions are unfortunately unavailable for Ballet Pointe, due to the additional weeks in the course length.
Refunds
If you find you have a lecture or commitment that clashes with a course that you have signed up for, we will give you a full refund providing you let us know at least 24 hours before the course commences.
Course notes
- Drop-in sessions are not offered on courses.
- Courses will be cancelled if there are insufficient numbers, so please book in advance to ensure that the course you are interested in runs.
- Once you are signed onto a course, please come to reception before each session and ensure that your name is ticked off the course register.
- Drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration and if you have any injuries or problems then discuss these with the instructor before the class.
- Do not arrive late for a course as the warm up is a vital part of the session and helps prevent injury. Entry to the class will be denied if you are more than 10 minutes late. We ensure that all teachers are fully qualified and experienced. However, all participants take part in any activity at their own risk.
