For the time being we will be offering one ballet class a week. These classes will take place every Saturday morning at the times listed below. We have two classes available for each age group due to high interest.  Hopefully, this can bring some normality to us all and most importantly to our baby ballerinas who we are missing so much!

As we have over 50 children in each age group, if need be we will introduce a second class for each age group so I can see them all on my screen and give them all some individual attention.  

The cost of these online classes will be £3 per 30 minute class, £1.50 per 15 minute Tap class payable in four weekly blocks. 

These classes will need to be paid for in advance (no later than 24 hours before the first class of the month) giving me time to check who I need to add to the scheduled class. Details will be sent out 24 hours prior to each class with the login password for that week. 

When paying online please pay for the four weeks in full using your child’s full name as the reference.  

Please ensure you follow the health and safety guidelines along with the Zoom security measures below whilst following any online classes.

 Details for Zoom:

· Check you have signed up for Zoom https://us04web.zoom.us/

· Click on the 'sign up for free' box.  It is free for you as a participant of classes as I have paid the upgrade, as the host, to have unlimited time.

· I have included a 10 minute sign in time to each class so please sign in at least 5 minutes before the class so I can check everyone is ready to start on time.

· Enter the Meeting ID and Password which I will email out 24 hours before the scheduled class.

· If they do not want to be seen by me and the rest of the class they can turn the video off but still take part in the class - I must be informed of the account holder’s name if it is different from the child’s name. 

· The classes will run for 30 minutes for Ballet classes and 45 minutes for Pre School Tap & Ballet.

Ensure the following security measures are in place before signing up to a Zoom class: 

· Change the username of your Zoom account to your child’s name, or email me letting me know the name on the Zoom account your child will be using to join the class.

· You must have all the security settings in place on the devices being used for the class. 

· All under 16s must be supervised during the class by an appropriate adult.

· Log out of your Zoom account after the class.

Health and Safety Procedures (updated 26/4/2020)

· Do not dance in socks when dancing on wooden floors or tiles. Bare feet is the safest way to dance on these floors.

· Ballet shoes should be worn to protect feet from friction on the carpet.

· Tap shoes are extremely slippery on tiles and wooden floors so take extra care if you are wearing your tap shoes at home.

· You must ensure hair is tied back out of the eyes so dancers can see clearly.

· You must be in appropriate clothing whilst dancing.

· You are responsible for ensuring the space your child is using for this online class is suitable and safe. This includes ensuring the space is a sufficient size to accommodate moving freely and the space should also be free from obstacles/dangerous items.

· Siblings may join in as long as there is appropriate space to avoid injury whilst dancing.

· Inform me of any injuries or conditions that they need to be aware of. If this is of a personal nature, send an email to me the day before the class.

· We accept no liability for any injuries sustained by those participating in the classes, nor do we accept any liability for damage to personal property caused during the dance classes.

By signing up to take part in these online classes, and in being a part of our dance community, you agree to adhere to the above terms.

Parents are responsible for the safety of their own children whilst following our videos and online classes.

In our Pre School Ballet classes we start introducing a little more ballet technique preparing our dancers for The Royal Academy of Dancing Pre Primary syllabus which they will study when they start primary school. The syllabus we follow is still very much learning through imaginative dance and storytelling but encourages the finer motor skills required for Ballet as they grow.
