Q: What can I expect ?
A: Brookvale Dance Centre's Ignite program is designed to encourage, inspire and ignite the passion of students aged 7 to 9 years. Students uncover courage, demolish fear become more independent and discover themselves through dance.  

Q: What if he/she has never taken a class before?
A: Our programs are open to everyone regardless of their ability, the teachers of our adventure classes have sound knowledge of the learning needs required at various ages and will help customise activities to allow children to catch up should they need to. Some kids take to class like a fish to water, and some may take a  2-4 weeks to get used to the new surroundings. It is a lot to take in and we should never expect them to get it on the first day! Sometimes just observing class is a huge achievement, especially if they have not done any other activities or been exposed to larger social group settings. After being isolated due to covid over the past 2 years may also have caused some social anxiety for all ages and the best way to work through it is with patience and one step at a time :)  

Q: Can my Child do a trial class first?
A: Yes, absolutely. You can book a trial week for $22 to find the class that best suits you. BOOK HERE

Q: Are parents allowed to watch the class?
A:   No, Unfortunately its is super distracting to both your child and the rest of the kids in the class to have parents in the room. We are also unable to have this due to covid restrictions/room capacity. Children can become easily distracted when parents are in the room and from our years of experience we find in a class setting the Children will concentrate better, follow instructions better and learn faster as well as develop their listening and social skills and form a special bond with their teacher. You are welcome to speak to your class teacher after class to ask questions or get feedback and we have regular events throughout the year where you will be able to watch what they have been learning. We have a spacious and comfortable foyer and kitchen area as well as bathrooms for parents and students to utilise as they wait for classes to start or finish.

Q: Are there both boys and girls in your classes?
A: Yes, we believe wholeheartedly in inclusivity in our classrooms and do not segregate. If a particular class makes your heart jump we welcome you to grow with us.

Q: What times are your classes on?
A: We have classes running 6 days per week see our timetable ABOVE

Q: What happens if I miss a class?
A: If your child misses a class due to illness they can attend a makeup class within 2 weeks of the missed lesson in any other class in their age group. We also enable you to join in to your class via Zoom as all 3 studios have large tv screens and zoom access.

A: We are located on the first floor, Unit  3, 7 Orchard Road, Brookvale, park on the street or drive up the ramp and continue to the top floor rooftop parking. Please do not park or drop off on the same level as our unit, this is reserved for teachers and staff and can become very congested when everyone tries to turn around in there, it is also not safe for the students  entering and exiting the building.  During the Day there is plenty of street parking on and around the surrounding streets.
