Three Week Trial
We offer a 3 week trial because we believe it takes more than one class to get a true feel for the class your child is trialling, the studio, the teacher and to see if this is something they really want to commit to moving forwards.
For just £15 for 3 weeks, your child can trial any class they wish and you can decide together whether EP DANCE is right for your child and your family.
Our Mission
Our aim is to INSPIRE the next generation of dancers by instilling in them PASSION, determination and allowing them to DREAM big and be creative.
We aim to provide our students with a home from home environment at the studio, where everyone can truly be themselves.
Our Values
FAMILY
POSITIVITY
COMMUNITY
FRIENDSHIP

faq's
does my child need prior dance experience to join?
We offer classes for dancers of all levels. Our Street Dance and Contemporary and some youngers Ballet, Tap & Modern classes are categorised by age but our older Ballet, Tap & Modern and Acro classes are placed on ability, however we do try to keep children of similar age together.
what should my child wear to class?
During your 3 week trial, please dress in clothing suitable for dance e.g. leggings and t-shirt with bare feet for ballet, contemporary, acro and modern and a pair of clean, dry trainers for Street Dance and Tap. Following the trial period, you will be required to purchase the set uniform for the class. All uniforms can be found here and must be purchased directly through EP DANCE to ensure that you are getting the best quality dancewear and dance shoes.
do you do shows?
Yes! Shows are the highlight of our year here at EP DANCE and they bring all of our dance family together. Our shows are held each summer and information for shows is sent out each January.
As well as shows, we also give our students the opportunity to take part in our IDTA exam sessions with government accredited graded and vocational examinations as well as medal tests and rosette awards, plus local competitions.
how do we pay for classes?

how do we sign up?
You must register online HERE before coming to class. Should you have any issues in signing up or any questions, please get in touch by emailing info@epdance.co.uk
We are a cashless business and all fees payments are through our payment provider GoCardless. On signing up for your 3 week trial, you will be asked to register for this system to make payment for your £15 3 week trial. Should you wish to continue with us following the 3 week trial, payment for fees moving forward will be made through this method, meaning there is no need to worry if you have made payment each month.
