FAQ

Can I book a trial class?

If you wish to experience the class before signing up for the year we offer trial lessons. This is a great opportunity to participate in the class, understand the different styles offered and see what suits you or your child best.

We encourage students to trial lesson more than once to determine if they wish to join. Unless they are in love the 1st trial, then sign them up.  Trial classes have a small fee:

Preschool 30 mins $17, Preschool 1 hr $20.50, Preschool 1.5 hours $27.50, Preschool 2 hours $32.50

$24 for Primary & high school (45-60 mins)

$30 for Primary & high school (1.5 hours)

Can I change my enrolment?

Students may choose to change or “swap” classes. When SWAPPING classes but staying on the same “pricing package” (ie. number of classes attending), the billing stays the same.

If adding a class and moving to a higher pricing package, a new invoice will be issued, and the total for the term will be adjusted prorate (only being charged for the weeks remaining).

If reducing your child’s enrolment and moving to a lower pricing package, a new invoice will be issued. If a parent has paid upfront for that term but wants to reduce the number of classes, the difference may be credited to the following term for that child.

If cancelling your enrolment completely, and withdrawing as a student at Crazy Feet Dance Studio, the parent MUST email us on info@crazyfeetdance.com.au declaring they wish to withdraw their enrolment at Crazy Feet Dance Studio and state the student name. Unless we are notified, billing will continue automatically even if the student is not attending, and refunds for missed classes are not available under any circumstances.

You must contact us at least two weeks before the next quarterly invoice is sent. Failure to do so will incur a $50 cancellation fee. With clear communication, this cancellation fee is not charged. Mid term cancellation is only permitted with a doctor’s certificate (for illness or injury) or for financial hardship (separate form needs to be filled out).

How do I choose which classes to do?

What do I do if my child is sick? Can I book in a make-up class?

If a student has to miss a class because they are sick, the parent can request a make up lesson. This is scheduled for a different session in the timetable – and is subject to availability. Make up lessons are unavailable after August due to the concert rehearsal process. We do not offer credits for missed classes.

If a student is going to be absent we require parents to email us at info@crazyfeetdance.com.au.

In the case of significant injury where a student is unable to dance for longer than 4 weeks, we can issue a credit for those weeks’ fees which can be taken off the fees invoice. This applies ONLY if we are notified in advance by writing, and with a doctor certificate, with details of the number of weeks the child will miss.

Where can I park to drop off / pick up my child?

There’s ample street parking on Banksia St or through the park on Waratah Ave. During peak times, we suggest parking in Waratah Ave, it is just the shortest walk through the park.

On Banksia St, there are different time restrictions for different areas of the street. Next to the school (on the school side) there are no restrictions​. On Waratah Ave there are no time restrictions.

We ask parents to please be extremely cautious when dropping and picking up your children. Junior school students must be collected from the front door and teachers will not allow them to walk to the car or cafe alone.

How does Crazy Feet ensure student safety and wellbeing?

The safety and welfare of all our students is extremely important to us. All of the teachers and directors at Crazy Feet have a current WWCC (working with children check number). Our staff have been trained in First Aid. We have CCTV in all of the classrooms. We have fully sprung floors and teach safe dance practices.

Is there an end of year concert?

The highlight of every student’s dancing year is their Crazy Feet Concert. For those who are new to our studio, our concert is a massive showcase that all students get the opportunity to perform in.

Why is it so important? This your child’s chance to shine on stage. To perform for their friends and family, and show how much they have improved over the year. Every dancer needs an audience. The Crazy Feet Concerts provide a truly memorable and special stage experience that celebrates the dedication, talent and achievements of every single student.

Tickets

Tickets to our shows go on sale (online through trybooking.com) in October. Ticket prices range depending on age category and pensions.

We do our best to keep the price of the concert tickets as low as possible but we need to cover the high costs of the venues and production. Our concerts are large scale productions with state-of-the-art lighting, held in premium venues that provide a truly magical and memorable performance experience for our students, and a spectacular entertaining show for families. Performers do not require a ticket, as they will be supervised backstage throughout the concert

Will there be photos and videos available of the concert?

PROFESSIONAL FILMED COPY OF OUR CONCERT

Every performer in any of our end of year concerts can purchase a copy of our concert. This is approx $50-70 and includes a HD digital copy of the Crazy Feet Concert Video.

ON STAGE PHOTOS

A professional photographer captures onstage moments that are available for online purchase after the concert. These on stage images can be purchased the same way your individual portraits can be purchased.  Shortly after the concert everyone will be sent a link to purchase photographs.

How does costume hire for the concert work?

At Crazy Feet, the students hire costumes from our in-house costume department. This helps keep costs down and saves parents from spending hundreds of dollars on buying costumes that will end up sitting in a cupboard after being worn once.

CONCERT/COSTUM LEVY

In 2025 we will be starting a concert/costume levy. This means the cost will be spread over several invoices instead of one lump sum. HOW THIS WILL WORK? Term 1- $20 fee will be charged with your Term fees Term 2- $20 fee will be charged with your Term fees Term 3- Remainder of concert/costume levy will be charged (seperate invoice to term fees) **This is not refundable or transferred able for credit if you cancel enrolment or can not participate in the concert. Costume/concert organisation begins from early in the year.

The costume levy is an “all inclusive” contribution to the costume department and goes towards sourcing new costumes, alterations, mending, wear and tear, cleaning, storing and staff costs.

No refunds (or exchanges between siblings) can be issued for any costume levies.
