Frequently Asked Questions

What classes are suitable for my (age) child?

You can find all the classes available for your child by age group HERE

Can parents stay to watch?

Baby Dance is the only class where parents can stay. We find that students work more effectively and concentrate more when they do not have parents watching.

Can me/ my child do more than one class?

YES! You can book multiple classes and when you do you will get a discount

Are there exams?

Most sessions are for fun, experience and practicing for performances to showcase talent and skills learned.

Exams are ONLY available for LAMDA Drama or Private singing lessons and again only if students want to do them.

Are there performances?

YES! At DAPA we are very focused on shows, concerts and performances because after all thats what Performing arts is all about!

From end of term showcases to full scale productions we aim to give everyone a chance to show off their skills.

Is there a uniform?

We do have uniform but it is not compulsory, however for some events we request that students wear a DAPA tshirt so its always handy to have one.

For usual classes all we ask is that children wear comfortable clothing for moving / dancing in.

Uniform can be found HERE

How do I pay?

Classes can be paid for on a pay as you go basis or you can opt for payment upfront (monthly/termly) for a small discount.

Once you become a member of DAPA a space is reserved for your child.

(For Pay as you go students, one missed class in a term will be charged at £1, any further in the same term will be full price.)
