Trial Class
If you're considering dance classes but aren't ready to commit, we encourage you or your child to come and trial a class. While you can observe from the waiting room, experiencing a class first hand will help you make a more informed decision.
To trial a class you will need to register your name and contact details on the online Studio Portal. You will then need to register in the class of interest. This will not fully commit you to a term of dance classes. We understand the importance of finding the right fit for your child and that you want your child to be happy before paying fees and fully committing to a term of 8-10 weekly lessons.
We do not accept walk ins or surprise arrivals. The class teachers do need to know about your child’s attendance in advance, as they are responsible for your child during the session.
You can trial up to 2 classes on your first week. This will allow you to confirm your preferred choice by the end of the week and before making full payment.
We recommend attending 2 lessons before finalising your decision. Sometimes, children may prefer to sit and watch rather than participate in their first class. It's a new experience for them, and their dreams and expectations of what a dance class entails may differ from reality, which can cause confusion. By the second class, you'll have a clearer understanding of your child's happiness. If you're unsure, please discuss your concerns with your child's teacher.
We've established a Happiness Guarantee (quick link) to provide you with extra assurance. If you've paid full tuition and are unsatisfied after attending 2 lessons, please email the Studio Manager no later than the third week of the term. We will gladly refund the remainder of the term's lessons, no questions asked.
My daughter has been with Dance Wanaka since she was 4 years old, in that time she has developed from a child who had anxiety going to class into a confident dancer who loves to be on stage. She has picked up two more classes with Dance Wanaka and is absolutely thriving. Anna and her team provide outstanding support and development both in group classes and private lessons. The classes are fun, engaging and social. Anna puts the upmost care into fostering a love of dance from day one and I am so grateful for my daughter to be a part of such a positive community. - Hope P (Parent)
My 3 year old loves the Sparkles preschool dance classes. Everyday she wakes up asking - when can we go to dance? Thank you for your exciting and inspiring classes for my daughter. - K.W (parent)
