Kids Dance Class Frequently Asked Questions

  • We’re so excited that you’re considering joining LBA! To get started, simply sign up for a free trial class (or classes) here. This gives your child the chance to explore different dance styles and performing arts to discover what truly excites them.

    After the trial, we’ll send you all the details to book for the rest of the term. Sibling and multi-class discounts are applied automatically. Term fees are managed through a simple subscription system, which spreads the cost of 40 weeks of timetabled classes into 12 monthly direct debit instalments.
