How are children placed into dance classes?

Dance class placement at Next Level Performing Arts is designed to ensure every child feels confident, challenged and supported in the right class.

Students are generally placed into classes based on their age, however we also consider their dance experience, ability, confidence and individual development. This helps ensure every dancer is learning in an environment where they can thrive.

If, after attending class, we feel another class would better suit your child’s needs or goals, we’ll discuss this with you and make a recommendation. Our priority is always finding the class where your child will be happiest and achieve their personal best.

If you’re unsure which class to book, our experienced team is always happy to help guide you.

Not sure which class is right for your child? Book your FREE 7 Day Trial, and we’ll help you find the perfect fit.

My child has additional needs. Can they attend dance classes?

Absolutely. Our inclusive dance classes welcome children with a wide range of abilities and additional needs.

At Next Level Performing Arts, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to experience the joy, confidence and friendships that dance can bring.

We understand that every child is unique. Before your child begins, we’ll take the time to learn about their individual needs, strengths and any strategies that help them feel comfortable and supported in class.

Our experienced teachers work closely with families to create a positive, encouraging and inclusive environment where every student has the opportunity to learn, grow and achieve their personal best.

If you’re unsure which class would be the best fit, we’d love to chat with you before your child’s FREE 7 Day Trial so we can recommend the most suitable option.

Have questions about your child’s individual needs? Please contact our friendly team—we’re here to help.

Can my child change dance classes if they want to try something different?

Absolutely! Children can change dance classes as their interests, confidence and goals develop.

As children grow, their interests and confidence often change too. It’s quite common for students to discover a new dance style they’d love to try or decide they’d like to add another class to their timetable.

Our team is always happy to discuss your child’s progress and recommend the most suitable classes based on their age, experience, interests and goals.

Whether your child would like to change classes, add another style or explore a new challenge, we’ll work with you to find the best option for your family, subject to class availability.

Our goal is to ensure every student is in classes they genuinely enjoy and look forward to each week.

Thinking about making a change? Contact our friendly team and we’ll be happy to help.

What happens if my child misses a dance class?

Missed a dance class? We understand that sometimes life gets busy and children may occasionally miss a class due to illness, school commitments or family events.

If your child misses a class, they’re welcome to attend a make-up class during the same term, subject to availability. Make-up classes are offered in a class of the same level or below to help students continue developing their skills and enjoy everything Next Level Performing Arts has to offer.

Simply contact our team and we’ll help you arrange a suitable make-up class.

Please note that make-up classes are subject to availability, cannot be carried over into future terms and are not redeemable for cash or credit.

How do I know which dance class is right for my child?

Wondering how to choose the right dance class for your child? It can feel overwhelming, especially if they’re just starting their dance journey—but we’re here to help!

Our experienced team will take the time to learn about your child’s age, personality, interests, previous experience and goals before recommending the most suitable classes.

Whether your child loves to perform, enjoys being creative, has endless energy or is simply looking to make new friends and build confidence, we’ll help you find the perfect fit.

The best part is that your child can experience multiple age-appropriate classes during their FREE 7 Day Trial, giving them the opportunity to discover the dance styles they enjoy most before enrolling.

Every child is different, and our goal is to ensure every student starts their dance journey in a class where they feel happy, supported and excited to learn.

Still not sure? Book your FREE 7 Day Trial, and we’ll help you find the perfect class for your child.

Can I stay and watch my child’s dance class?

Can parents watch dance classes? For most classes, we encourage children to participate independently, as this helps them settle more quickly, build confidence and connect with their teacher and classmates.

For our Move with Me classes, parents and caregivers participate alongside their child, making it a fun and engaging shared experience.

For all other classes, we encourage students to attend independently. Over the years, we’ve found that children often settle more quickly, build confidence and develop stronger relationships with their teachers and classmates when they’re given the opportunity to participate on their own.

If your child is attending their very first class, you’re welcome to bring them into the studio to meet their teacher and help them settle as class begins. If they need a little extra reassurance, our experienced team is always there to support them.

If, after a reasonable period of time, your child isn’t settling, one of our teachers or team members will always come and speak with you. We believe in working together with families to ensure every child has a positive and enjoyable experience.

Throughout the year, we also share photos, videos and class updates, so you’ll still be able to celebrate your child’s progress and achievements.

Ready to start your child’s dance journey? Book your FREE 7 Day Trial here:

What if my child is shy or nervous?

Our dance classes for shy children provide a warm, supportive environment where every child can settle in at their own pace. It’s completely normal for children to feel shy or nervous when starting something new.

At Next Level Performing Arts, our experienced teachers take the time to help every child feel welcome, comfortable and included. We never force children to participate before they’re ready. Instead, we gently encourage them at their own pace, celebrating every small step and achievement along the way.

Many of our most confident dancers started out feeling shy during their very first class. With the support of our caring teachers and friendly students, they quickly develop confidence, make new friends and begin to feel right at home.

If you think your child may need a little extra support, please let us know before their first class. We’re always happy to work with families to ensure every child has a positive first experience.

Ready to take the first step? Book your FREE 7 Day Trial and let your child discover the confidence that dance can bring.

What is the best age to start dance classes?

The best age to start dance classes depends on your child, as every child develops at their own pace. Some children are ready to begin from as young as 18 months, while others start later.

At Next Level Performing Arts, we offer age-appropriate classes from 18 months through to adults, ensuring every student learns in a fun, supportive and encouraging environment.

Our preschool programs vary by studio and include:

  • Ready Set Move with Me (18 months–3 years) — Prestons

  • Ready Set Ballet — Castle Hill
  • Ready Set Acro — Prestons
  • Next Kidz — Beaumont Hills and Prestons

Does my child have to perform in the End of Year Concert?

We encourage all students to participate in our End of Year Concert, although we understand there may be times when a child is unable to perform. Dance concert participation is an important part of the Next Level experience, but we always consider individual family circumstances.

Our concert is a celebration of everything our students have learnt throughout the year and is often one of the highlights of their dance journey. It’s a wonderful opportunity for children to build confidence, perform on stage, celebrate their achievements and create lasting memories with their classmates.

We also understand that every family’s circumstances are different. If your child is away on holidays, has a prior commitment or genuinely doesn’t feel ready to perform, we completely understand. We simply ask that you let our team know as early as possible so we can plan routines and concert arrangements accordingly.

Our priority is ensuring every child enjoys a positive dance experience while creating an unforgettable concert for all involved.

Will my child perform on stage?

Yes! Every student at Next Level Performing Arts has dance performance opportunities throughout the year, including our spectacular End of Year Concert. It gives them the chance to showcase everything they’ve learnt while building confidence and creating lifelong memories.

We understand that every family is different. While we encourage all students to take part in this special experience, we know there may occasionally be circumstances where a student is unable to perform due to holidays, family commitments or other reasons. Our team is always happy to discuss your individual situation.

Students in our Performance Troupes and Cheerleading programs may also have additional opportunities to perform at dance competitions, community events and selected sporting events throughout the year.

We believe performing is an important part of every dancer’s journey, helping students develop confidence, teamwork, resilience and a love of being on stage in a positive and supportive environment.

How much do dance classes cost?

Does my child need dance shoes?

No. You don’t need to purchase dance shoes before your child’s first class.

For beginners, comfortable bare feet or runners are perfectly fine for most classes during our FREE 7 Day Trial. This gives your child the chance to experience the class before you invest in specific dance shoes or a uniform.

Once your child enrols, we’ll let you know exactly which dance shoes and uniform are required for their chosen classes, as requirements vary between styles such as ballet, jazz, tap and hip hop.

Ready to get started? Book your FREE 7 Day Trial and we’ll help you with everything you need for your child’s first class.

What should my child wear to their FREE Trial?

Wondering what to wear to dance class for your child’s first visit? For your FREE 7 Day Trial, simply dress your child in comfortable clothing they can move freely in.

Leggings, shorts, a t-shirt or activewear are all perfect. There’s no need to purchase a dance uniform or dance shoes before your trial. Comfortable, secure footwear is fine unless our team has advised otherwise for a particular class.

If your child decides to join the Next Level family, we’ll provide all the information you need about uniforms, dance shoes and class-specific requirements.
