FAQ’s
​

We have a wide range of styles to suit everyone. All items can be mixed and matched. Except for ballet which requires a ballet leotard. Uniforms can be purchased at the studio. Correct dance shoes must be worn to each class.
​Jazz = Black Jazz Shoes (Comp Team = Tan Jazz Shoes), Ballet = Ballet Shoes, Hip Hop = Any closed in shoe (Black for Pre Junior & Junior, White for Intermediate & Senior), Cabaret = Heels, All other genres = No Shoes.
​DO YOU SELL DANCE SHOES?

​
HOW DO STUDENTS WEAR HAIR TO CLASS?
Hair must be worn neatly up and off the face in all classes. It is very distracting for students when hair is messy. A slick bun for ballet class is compulsory.
​
DO PARENTS SIT IN CLASS AND WATCH?
No, it is much too distracting for students and limits the space. We want to have their full concentration every lesson. Follow us on social media for regular updates on classes, we are always posting stories live in class so parents can check in on what’s happening in the studio. Aura Studio has a viewing window in Studio 1.
​
DO YOU HOLD EXAMS?
Yes, we do for some genres. Classes will be notified if they are invited to sit an exam. Exams are not compulsory at Encore.
​
DO YOU HAVE A CONCERT?
Yes, all students are invited to perform in the end of year show. It is the highlight of the year. Students work very hard to master their dance routines and can’t wait to showcase them to their family and friends on stage with professional sound and lighting in a full theatre. Tickets are purchased by family and friends to watch the show.
