Questions

Good to know

What age can my child start?

From age 3, in our Little Frogs classes. Older children join the class that suits their age and experience.

My child has never danced. Is that all right?

Of course. We welcome children of every ability, from complete beginners to experienced dancers.

Does my child need a uniform?

Not for the free trial. Pupils start buying the KADA uniform after six weeks, directly from the school.

What happens after the trial?

If your child would like to carry on, we'll explain how to join. All the details are in our terms and conditions.
