At Studio 74, our Competition Team is open to students who demonstrate the commitment, dedication and technical ability required for competitive dance.To be considered, students must attend a minimum of two technical classes each week (such as Ballet, Modern, Tap or Acro, depending on their chosen style), as strong technical foundations are essential for success.Competition opportunities are offered at the teachers' discretion, taking into account each child's ability, attitude, commitment and readiness to perform.

Examinations and class move-ups are based on ability, confidence, attendance and overall readiness, rather than age alone.When your child's teacher feels they are ready to move up to the next level or be entered for an examination, you will be contacted with at least half a term's notice. You'll receive all of the relevant information, including dates, fees (where applicable) and any additional requirements.Please note that all examinations and class promotions are at the teacher's discretion, ensuring every student progresses when the time is right for them. 💜
Fees are paid termly. Before the start of each new term, you'll receive an invoice by email with your child's class details, the amount due and payment instructions.Please note that payment is required before the start of term to secure your child's place, as many of our classes have waiting lists. We kindly ask that all fees are paid by the deadline stated on your invoice. 💜
Fees are due before the new term starts. Each term you are given a deadline date for payments.

We completely understand that plans can sometimes change.If you need to cancel your booking, please let us know as soon as possible. During our term time, we will always do our best to accommodate cancellations where sufficient notice is given, and refunds will be considered in line with our booking terms.Please note that our summer holiday period operates slightly differently. As our dance classes are not running, venue hire is in particularly high demand and dates are often fully booked well in advance. Once a booking has been confirmed, we reserve that time exclusively and may have turned away other enquiries for the same slot.For this reason, cancellations during the summer holidays may incur a cancellation fee or be non-refundable, depending on the notice provided. Any refund offered is entirely at the discretion of Studio 74 and in accordance with our booking policy.We always aim to be as fair and understanding as possible, so if your circumstances change, please get in touch with us as soon as you can.
