Dance Class Fees

Simple, Clear Monthly Payments

At Babel School of Dance, we want our fees to be as straightforward and transparent as possible.

Dance class fees are paid monthly across 12 months of the year and are managed through our Class Manager Hub.

Spreading fees across 12 equal monthly payments makes budgeting easier for families and avoids larger termly invoices.

Please remember that the monthly payment is an instalment towards the annual cost of your child’s classes. It is not calculated according to the number of lessons taking place within an individual calendar month.

Monthly Dance Class Fees

Our regular dance classes are placed into one of four fee bands according to the length of the class.

Band A

30-minute class
£27.15 per month

Band B

40-minute class
£32.64 per month

Band C

50-minute class
£37.80 per month

Band D

60-minute class
£42.96 per month

All regular class fees are payable monthly through Class Manager.

Taking More Than One Class?

Many of our students choose to take more than one style of dance.

A student might begin with Ballet and later discover Tap, Acro or Commercial Freestyle — and before long, dance becomes a very important part of their week!

Each class is charged according to its individual fee band and class duration.

If you’re considering adding another class and would like to know what your monthly fees would be, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help.

Family Administration Charge

There is a small administration charge of:

£3.00 per family, per month

Importantly, this is charged per family — not per child.

This contributes towards some of the essential costs involved in running the school safely and professionally, including:

  • Public Liability Insurance
  • Music licences
  • Staff DBS checks
  • Administrative costs

GCSE Dance Fees

Two-Year GCSE Dance Course

GCSE Dance is delivered as a two-year programme.

The course fee is:

£100 per month for 24 months

This covers the teaching and delivery of the two-year GCSE Dance programme.

Additional GCSE Dance Costs

There are some additional costs that are not included within the monthly course fee, including:

E-Learning subscription — payable annually

Theatre trips

Workbooks and course materials

Families will be informed about additional costs as they arise.

Additional Costs

We believe it’s important that parents understand that some activities and opportunities sit outside regular monthly class fees.

These may include:

Dance examinations and assessments

Shows and performances

Private lessons

Workshops or special events

Competition or choreography events where applicable

These costs are not included within your regular monthly class fees.

Parents will be informed of any additional charges and invoiced separately where appropriate.

Examinations

Students may have opportunities to take examinations and assessments as they progress through their dance training.

Examination fees are separate from regular class fees because they can vary according to the examination, level and examining body.

Parents will always be informed of the relevant cost before an examination entry is made.

Shows & Performances

Being part of a show can be one of the highlights of being a Babel dancer!

Shows and other special performances may involve additional costs that aren’t included within regular class fees.

Where additional charges apply, we will provide information to parents separately.

We always aim to give families as much notice as reasonably possible.

Private Lessons

Private lessons may occasionally be recommended or requested for students who would benefit from some individual tuition.

These are charged separately from regular class fees.

Please speak to us if you’d like more information about private tuition.

Paying Your Fees

Regular dance class fees are managed through our Class Manager Hub.

This provides families with a straightforward way to manage payments and helps us keep our administration organised.

Please ensure that your Class Manager account and contact details are kept up to date so that you receive important information regarding your child’s classes and payments.

Why Are Fees Paid Over 12 Months?

Although dance classes operate according to the Babel teaching calendar, the annual cost of tuition is divided into 12 equal monthly payments.

This means your monthly fee remains consistent rather than changing according to the number of classes falling within a particular month.

Some months naturally contain more teaching weeks than others, while school holidays and scheduled breaks fall within other months.

The 12-month payment arrangement simply spreads the cost of the year’s tuition evenly across the year.

Questions About Fees?

We know that parents occasionally have questions about fees, additional classes or charges showing on their account.

Please ask us.

We would always rather answer a question than have you unsure about something.
