With our upcoming opening day in the new studio fast approaching, we have some important information to share! Please read over the below to make sure you are aware of these changes and important updates!
When and where?
We will be opening the doors to our new studio on Tuesday, 7th May 2024. The address is Unit 22, Wheatland Business Park, Wheatland Ln, Wallasey, CH44 7ER.
Waiting Room
We ask that you please only arrive at the studio 15 minutes before your class time and no earlier. Our new waiting room will be smaller than our current studio. The waiting room will only be available to dancers waiting to go into the next class, and parents waiting for the class end time.
Drop-off and Collection
Our new studio will have a single entrance and exit. This means drop-off and collection will be in the same place now. When picking up your child, please wait outside the main door rather than in the waiting room to reduce crowdedness. We will not be allowing children to leave without seeing their parent/guardian. If your child is 16+ and you’re happy for them to leave by themselves, please give us a signed consent letter.
Parking / Public Transport
We will have teacher bays to the left of our studio (by the railings) and a couple of public 5-minute drop-off only bays in front of our shutters. Please do not park in front of the main entrance door as this is a fire exit and this is where parents will need to stand in order to collect their child.
Free roadside parking can be found on St. Paul’s Road opposite the studio, if you need to park up somewhere that you can leave your car for a while. There are local bus stops near the studio if you need to travel via public transport, you can find local bus routes here: https://www.merseytravel.gov.uk/timetables/
New Subscription Pricing
Our monthly subscription price is rising to £120.00 from Tuesday, 7th May 2024. But as a thanks to our loyal members, you will stay on the current price if you are subscribed before we move. However, if your monthly subscription fails to be taken for any reason, you would then have to sign-up to the new subscription price as the old subscription price will no longer be available on our booking system. So, if you’re not currently a monthly subscription member but do attend 5 or more classes per week, get your subscription set up before we move-in to get our current price.
The rise to our monthly subscription for members setting up after our move-in date comes because of rising costs in almost everything we use: building rent, energy and water rates, insurances and licences, the booking system etc.
Private Lessons
Weekly private lessons will continue as normal for those dancers who have a weekly private class. If your weekly private class time slot has changed slightly you would have received a message from myself.
Payment for privates is cash to staff at the reception desk. To help us track payments please do not bank transfer. Privates will continue at the same prices, £30 per hour and £15 per half hour. If you’re interested in booking a regular weekly private class get in touch, because we will have two smaller studio spaces available alongside the main studio space at our new premises. Which means more weekly private classes are available!
Thank you!
