How to make payment

Fees will be added to your accounts and due by Wednesday 29 March for APDA exams. Late fees apply thereafter. All fees are collectively forwarded to Asia Pacific Dance Association (APDA) who independently coordinate & manage assessments very professionally.

BBOdance fees are due late July.

How to register

You do not need to complete any extra paperwork as this is completed by your teachers & the Studio Manager.  Paying the entry fee confirms your entry. Please let the Studio Manager know if you will not be attending classes in term 2.

Assessment dates 

Dates are normally confirmed in April once our school entries have been submitted. Mock (practise) assessments will be scheduled beforehand to ensure dancers are well prepared.  If there is a likelihood you may be away, we suggest you submit a late entry once we have confirmed assessment dates.  Entries must be submitted by 1st May (APDA) and 1 August (BBOdance).

Revision at home

Teachers video class work & share these on Google Classroom link to assist with revision at home. It is a closed social network where videos are shared amongst dancers in each class only. 

For any further questions about assessments, please chat to your teacher or the Studio Manager.
