Trial Classes at Piri Ballet

Everything you need to know about trial classes at Piri Ballet

TRY AND DECIDE AFTERWARDS

Your initial class with us is always considered your complimentary trial class. After this session, you can choose whether or not to continue with us. By booking your class online, you are reserving that spot for the dance year.

WHEN TO TRY / JOIN

Starting as soon as possible ensures that your child can progress alongside their peers and begin preparations for the end-of-year show. Even if you've missed the initial weeks, there's no need to worry. Our patient and encouraging teachers are here to support late starters.

Upon deciding to join us after the trial class, any missed classes prior to the trial will be deducted from your first invoice. While we can't guarantee show participation for those who sign up later, it will be determined based on the specific class and student. After the trial class, our teacher will happily guide you regarding your child's level and potential show involvement.

Rest assured, as long as spots are available, you're more than welcome to join us at any point during the school year.

CHOSING THE LEVEL

Please choose the course that matches your child's school grade. Although these age ranges are typically effective, be aware that during the trial class, our teacher will evaluate your child's abilities and recommend the most suitable level—whether it be lower or higher—for optimal advancement.

CHOOSING A TEACHER

Our dedicated teachers are all professionals who are passionate about working with children. Trained in the Piri Ballet method, they uphold our high standard across all classes, ensuring a positive, kind, patient, and fun learning environment. Our classes are designed to be both engaging and challenging.

If you find that multiple classes fit your schedule, feel free to attend trial classes with various teachers. Afterward, kindly inform us of your selection so that we can accommodate other students in the remaining class.

WHERE / HOW TO BOOK

Go to the "Class Booking" tab on our website and click on the right level and then pick from the available times. If the class is fully booked it will show as fully booked, therefore if you can sign up, there are spaces available.

AVAILABLE CLASSES

Please see our schedule below.

WHAT TO WEAR

CLOTHES & HAIR:

No purchases are necessary for the trial class. Students can wear a neat ponytail, leggings, a t-shirt, and socks. If you have a leotard and ballet shoes, you're welcome to wear those.

Should you choose to enroll following the trial class, our on-site ballet store offers a convenient selection of uniform, tights, shoes, and hair accessories. However, you're free to purchase these items from any source as long as they meet our requirements. Refer to the specifications below.

Uniform requirements

ARRIVAL TIME

Normally minimum 5 and maximum 15 minutes before class starts. Make sure to give yourself enough time for parking and finding the location. Your child will feel more comfortable if they do not arrive rushed and/or late.

TRYING WITH SHY CHILD

Prepare your child before hand so they know what to expect

1) Show them this video so they can see what a class looks like

2) Explain to them that you will be bringing them to the studio and show them the space and just before class starts, you will be going outside and you will be waiting for them there. Explain that only students are allowed in the classroom and if they need anything (water, go to the toilet etc) they can ask the teacher.

3) On the day, make sure to arrive 10 minutes early. Get ready for class, take off your shoes and check with the teacher if you can enter the classroom with your child for a few minutes (only if there is no other class in the room). Walk around the classroom with your child for a bit until they feel more comfortable.

WATCHING THE CLASS

You are welcome to watch the class anytime. There is a glass window (one way so students don't get distracted) in the changing room area.
