Frequently asked questions

Can I do a trial before I enrol?

Absolutely yes! However for legal and safety reasons anyone participating in a trial class must fill out some paperwork at the office before trailing so we have all your child's important information readily available to us if we need to contact you (emergency numbers, medical conditions).

Can parents and siblings watch class?

Parents are invited to watch the first lesson. After the first lesson, we ask parents to wait in our large, comfortable waiting area, so we can work our magic with your children without distraction. We just love to surprise you with how much they have learned by the concert!!

Are there any performance opportunities?

Performance opportunities are optional and include:

  • Mid Year & End of year Concert for all enrolled students

  • Public Festivals and community events

  • Exams for ballet students

  • Eisteddfods for Stage Class members

  • Five annual competitions for our cheer program participants

How do I pay my fees?

All fees are made prior to student commencing classes either via the parent portal or to Jenny in the office, either over the phone with credit card, via bank transfer (please always use your child's name as a reference) or in person at the office.

Does Plie offer dance exams and are they compulsory?

Plié offers official exams from pre primary  to advanced in both the Cecchetti method of ballet & RAD.

Exams provide a goal and sense of achievement for students and record their yearly progress with encouraging hand written reports and gradings. Students receive a report and certificate. Exams are optional. Students who do not take exams will still progress to the next level.

Does my child have to wear a special uniform?

We do require students to wear appropriate dance attire & shoes. We have an onsite uniform shop with all the dancers needs, however you are welcome to source your own shoes & dance wear if you prefer. Dancers should also have long hair tied back for all classes.

Do you offer 'boys only' classes?

Yes- we offer 'Boys Only' Hip Hop.  All our other classes are designed for both boys and girls. If your son is concerned about dancing in a female dominated class, send him along with a friend. Many boys enjoy our break dance classes which are scheduled back to back with boys hip hop.

Can I do a make up class if I am absent?

Yes. Find a similar class on the timetable and let the office know that you will be attending. Make up classes can be taken for missed classes due to illness, travel or public holidays as we do not issue refunds for missed classes (unless the class is cancelled by Plié).

What if my child doesn't like a class?

Plié offers a money back guarantee on all weekly classes within the first week. No refunds beyond the first week, unless extreme circumstances present.

Are there any additional costs other than term fees?

Do timetables stay the same for the entire year?

Timetable may be subject to change, but usually stays the same for weekly recreational classes.
