YOUR FIRST DAY...

No matter how old you are starting something new can be pretty nerve racking. Becoming part of the SDA family is a wonderful experience, here's what to expect....

You've booked into your class, now let's make sure you've got everything: 

Wear something comfy that you can move in. We don't expect new starters to have their uniform until the second class.

Bare feet are fine for ballet, acro, jazz, musical theatre and black socks for Contemporary. We suggest bringing a pair of plimsolls or trainers for tap or street dance. Please make sure they have a CLEAN, STONE free sole and haven't been worn outside. 

​

Try to arrive 10 minutes before your class starts, we can introduce ourselves, get to know you a little, show you around before starting class and find a buddy for you to go in with.

We prefer pupils to come into class with classmates rather then parents or carers. This makes it more normal as parents wait outside and have a cup of tea and a chat during class. We have a viewing window and parents or carers are very welcome to watch through this. Of course sometimes younger ones are a little extra nervous, in this case parents are welcome to sit in and watch. We are very patient with beginners and happy to work with you. 

​

 After class your class teacher will try their best to come out and speak to parents for a couple of minutes, sometimes, due to class change overs, this isn't always possible. In this case Mrs Stead will ask your teacher how you got on and pass on any feedback if necessary. 

​We look forward to meeting you in class!
