Do we have to wait for a new term to join?
No. You can join our classes at any time!
How can we join?
Visit our 'classes' page to find out more and enrol for a class or trial. https://www.foxacademyofdance.com/classes.html
Do you offer free trials?
We do not offer free trials however we do offer a three-week introductory trial in all Core Classes to give new starters a taster of the Fox Academy of Dance experience before joining us for a full term. The cost of a 3-week is trial is £20.00 which is redeemable against your first terms fees if you choose to enrol with us. To find out more about our trials please visit our 'book a trial' page https://www.foxacademyofdance.com/bookatrial.html
Do I have to book classes in advance?
Yes. Enrolment is via our website.
My child has never danced before- do you have a class suitable for them?
We welcome dancers of all abilities and experience into our classes- dancers are grouped broadly by age so a 12 year old beginner will be in classes with their peer group age-wise. Introducing our dancers to classes at all ages is one of our special skills and we endeavour to make them feel comfortable, confident and motivated in their classes, whatever their level.
What should they/I wear?
New starters are welcome to wear comfortable PE kit style clothing or shorts and a t-shirt to begin with but must have full Academy uniform by the end of their first half-term. Our full uniform list is sent by email to all new starters upon enrolment.
Do they have to have the uniform?
Initially no, we only ask you to purchase the uniform once they have settled in, approximately 4 weeks after their taster week.
Where do I get the uniform from?
The Little Dance Barn at Stonham Barns are our uniform supplier- please visit our 'uniform' page for full information. . https://www.foxacademyofdance.com/uniform.html
Can I stay with my child and watch their class?
No. Other than our Tiddlers and Toddlers classes (6 month- 3 years old) children participate in classes independently . In our experience, children relax more, settle in quicker and enjoy their lessons more without a parent or carer present.
How much do the lessons cost?
Please visit our 'fee's' page for our 2024/25 fee structure. https://www.foxacademyofdance.com/fees.html
Is it compulsory for the children to take exams?
No, however we encourage them to do so as it is a fantastic experience and great for building confidence and rewarding their hard work. We offer exams in Classical Ballet, Jazz and Tap dance through the IDTA and ISTD examination boards.
Do you run classes in the holidays?
Our term dates run in line with the Suffolk schools calendar. We do run holiday workshops and some special one day workshops separate to our normal timetable during the holidays- you can check our term dates page or our social media platforms to see when our next workshops are scheduled. https://www.foxacademyofdance.com/termdates.html.
If you have any questions regarding anything please don’t hesitate to ask a member of staff who will endeavour to answer your query.
We hope your child enjoys dancing with us as part of Team Fox.
