Hi there! Don't know if you've found a class yet, but we do ISTD Ballet, Tap & Modern Theatre Dance from 3 years old up to Adult. We do Grade and Vocational Graded exams & performances. If you want to check-out times, our website is
www.danceacacia.com. Under fives Ballet is on Monday at 3.30pm or Saturday at 10.30am. Primary classes (including beginners aged 5-8 who haven't taken the Primary exam) are on Saturday at 9.50am - 10.40am, and after school (but we may change the day in September - it's up for discussion). Tap and Modern for 5-8 year beginners are on Saturdays from 11am - 12noon, and after school, but again, we're changing the day!
There is a uniform that the children wear for exams, as well as in class, but I never insist on parents getting it straight away, and we sell it cheaper than shops. (I don't mind if they come for a few weeks, and then when you know if they'll like it, get it gradually, piece by piece - what isn't advisable is to rush out and buy a pink tutu because the new ballerina wants one - they always look on it as a dressing up session then, and although I want them to enjoy dancing as much as I do, it is a lesson)!
We're in Wandsworth Road, but very near the end where it meets Lavender Hill. You can pay weekly for the first term and then we send out invoices, but the termly fee can be paid in instalments (just not every week - it's too much paperwork)! Pre-Primary & Primary Ballet are £3, and Modern and Tap slightly less if they do ballet as well. If you've got more than 2 children, they can all come, but you only have to pay for the first two!
