Question 1

Do you offer free classes for Children?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We provide a free trial class for children to help determine:
 • Whether your child enjoys ballet
 • If ballet is the right dance style for them
 • The appropriate level to suit their abilities
Once we find the right level and your child wishes to continue with Melbourne Institute of Dance, we will email an invoice with prorated fees for the term.

Question 2

What are the costs for children's classes?

Accepted Answer

After the initial free trial class, children who wish to continue with us are enrolled for the term and charged a term fee.
Please note that we do not offer single-class options for children's programs. For detailed information, please refer to our Children’s Fee page.
Additional Costs:
 • Uniforms – Required as per our stockist’s guidelines.

• Assessment Fee (not applicable for Tiny or Pre dancers) – As outlined in our handbook, assessments are held in Term 3 for students ready for evaluation.

• Production Fee (not applicable for Tiny dancers) – As detailed in our handbook, the production is held in Term 4

Question 3

What should my child wear for their trial class?

Accepted Answer

For the first free trial class, any ballet or activewear you already have is perfect—no need for the official uniform yet. If ballet shoes aren’t available, socks are fine for this initial class.

Should your child choose to continue, we’ll then require the correct uniform to be purchased according to our handbook guidelines.

Question 4

Can parents sit in and watch the class?

Accepted Answer

We encourage parents and guardians to observe their child’s first trial class.

After this initial class, we ask that parents refrain from sitting inside the studio during regular group classes, as it can be distracting for other students.

For Tiny and Pre Dancers, the Deepdene studio has large windows along one side and on the doors, so you are welcome to watch from outside the studio.

If you feel the need to observe a specific class for a particular reason, we are generally open to accommodating this, but please notify us via email in advance.

We also encourage parents to observe and sit in on all private lesson classes whenever possible.

Question 5

儿童班需要校服吗？

是的。如果您的孩子在完成首节免费试听课后继续学习，则所有儿童课程都需要穿着正确的校服。校服可从我们“校服”页面上列出的多家经销商处购买。

How do I register for a trial class?

Accepted Answer

Please click on the gold button

Question 9

Can my child start mid term or mid year?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, yes, your child can join mid-year or mid-term.

However, each class has limited spots, so if a class is full, we can place your child on a waiting list and let you know as soon as a place becomes available.

Please keep in mind that Term 4 is often more difficult for new enrollments as we are preparing for our end-of-year show, making it harder to integrate new students once the term has begun.
