Frequently Asked Questions about our dance + circus classes

At SOPA your child's Arts education is our priority. Students receive the best and safest training from experienced, qualified teachers. At SOPA we are the only Performing Arts studio in Australia that is an approved OSHC provider Queensland College of Teachers registered teachers, teaching every faculty. SOPA teachers are not only experienced in teaching their genre but they are also experienced educators working in school aged child care as well as school teachers working in State and Independent schools in Queensland.

I am new to the dance, drama, music or circus world, can my child try a class before I enrol?

We recommend new students take advantage of our 7 day trial option, before choosing which classes to enrol in. Once you have tried your class or classes, your registration documents will be processed and an invoice created for the remaining term.

What should my child wear to their first class?

The Studio has a compulsory uniform. For your first class we recommend new students wear covered in shoes with laces and something that can be moved in. T-shirt and loose fitting shorts are appropriate.

My child is in high school and hasn't taken dance or drama lessons yet, is it too late?

The Studio has a passion for helping the older student feel comfortable and capable in the Arts room. Often school teachers recommend further lessons to help support Dance or Drama studies if taken as an elective. At The Studio we are experienced in making your older student feel comfortable with the transition.

What payment methods do you offer?

We offer several methods of payment – eftpos, cash, cheque and internet banking.

Where do I get The Studio uniforms?

Uniforms are ordered directly through The Studio Shop. Once your uniform order arrives, we will arrange for it to be at your next class.

The term has already started, is it too late to start?

It is never too late to join The Studio family. After your trial lessons your fees will be calculated for the remaining weeks.

Can my child attend more than one class?

We encourage students to participate in more than two classes per week. Discounts are offered for multiple classes.

Who is The Studio affiliated with?

My child DOES NOT attend The Studio classes, are they able to book into SOPA-OSHC Vacation Care during the school holidays?

Yes, any school aged student (Prep to Grade 6) is able to book into SOPA-OSHC Vacation Care. If your child will start Prep in the new school year they can be booked into SOPA-OSHC for the January session.
