FAQ’s

  • What should I wear?

    Anything your comfortable to dance in. Most pupils wear baggy clothing such as joggers and a t-shirt and trainers or pumps as appropriate footwear. We do have Rhythm Junkiez uniform but pupils are not expected to purchase this until they have been attending classes for at least 6 weeks.

  • How do I join a class?

    Simply choose a class that suits you and come along! It is advisable to call to check the class is running before hand in case we have had to cancel for any reason. You can see the full class timetables here.

  • What should I bring with me?

    In all classes we have a quick break in the middle of the lesson so it is a good idea to bring along a drink. We do not encourage fizzy sugary drinks so water or squash is the best option to keep hydrated.

  • How much do classes cost?

    Please see our Membership Options

  • How do I pay?

    Payment is taken on a monthly basis via PayPal Pro payments. Very similar to a Direct Debit it is 100% secure and hassle free.

  • Do I have to stay and watch if I am dropping off a pupil?

    No, however we do have waiting rooms at all our venues if you wish to stay and wait. Unfortunately due to rules and regulations set by our governing body the UKA parents are not allowed inside the dance studio itself while lessons are taking place, this can also be distracting, especially to the younger age groups.

    We do not encourage this as often it makes it harder for the pupil to then join in the following week however this is an option that can be discussed upon arrival to class.
