We take great pride in class placement for each individual dancer. Class placement is unique to each dancer, and involves a variety of factors, such as individual maturity level, focus, technical abilities, potential, previous dance experience and more. If you are new to Love of Dance Academy, we will assist in placing your child into an appropriate level class. Class placement may be adjusted during the first three weeks of a new term until we find the perfect fit for your child.

We teach the SABOD (previously known as SADTA) syllabus for Modern and Hip Hop. We teach the RAD syllabus for Ballet.

Absolutely. Our doors are open to new dancers throughout the year and we will pro-rate your class fees accordingly. Dancers who enrol too close to exam time or the dance production - will be allowed to attend classes - but might not be ready to take part in these events. It is important for dancers to have a certain level of skills for exams and productions, so we do limit participation in these events. Just talk to us and we will do our best to accommodate you.

At Love of Dance Academy it is very important to us not to force anyone into anything that they are not comfortable with/prepared for. Therefore, your child will never participate in any exams/productions/competitions unless they want to. We have annual exams at the studio for those who would like to participate in exams. We also host an annual dance production for those who would like to shine on stage. We always recommend that dancers participate in both, but it is not compulsory. Our main focus is growing each dancer's love of dance in a safe and inspiring environment and therefore competitions are not our priority. Per special request, we do take part in Eisteddfod and other competitions.

Anything comfortable and stretchy which will allow them to move freely. For Modern Class, the young ones prefer to wear a leotard and a soft skirt/tutu - but we allow the dancers to have freedom with what they wear as long as it is not distracting to them. Young dancers dance with bare feet and older girls wear dance paws. For Hip Hop Class, a dancer can wear anything comfortable with tekkies. For ballet, a leotard and the correct footwear is required.

Our studio has a hallway area in which parents may wait during class. This arrangement helps our younger dancers to work on self-sufficiency while still offering them the reassurance that Mom or Dad is waiting right outside. It also gives you, as a parent, the opportunity to really notice the improvement when you watch them during Spectators' Week. We host Spectators' Week once every term - usually at the end of each term. There is no limit on how many visitors a dancer may bring - parents, grandparents, siblings, aunts/uncles, etc. are all welcome to join us for Spectators' Week.

Scholars: As per the industry standard, there is never class during school holidays or on public holidays. Adults: Adult classes continue throughout school holidays but not on public holidays.

We teach dancers from the age of 3 for Modern and Ballet and the age of 5 for Hip Hop.

The fees are different for all classes - please send us an email for more info.
