Your 1st Day at SDA!
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....
It's as easy as 1, 2, 3!
1
What to wear
Wear something comfy that you can move in. We don't expect new starters to have their uniform until the second class after their trial.
Bare feet are fine for ballet, acro, jazz and 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.

First Class
Please try to arrive 10 minutes early so we can introduce ourselves, help you get settled, and find a buddy to come in with. We prefer that students enter with classmates, while parents can chat and wait outside. There’s a viewing window for parents who want to watch, but if younger students feel a bit nervous, parents are welcome to sit in for support. We’re very patient, ensuring everyone feels at ease as they start their journey!

After Class
After class your class teacher will try their best to come out and speak to parents for a couple of minutes, but 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!
