If you have any other questions don’t hesitate to contact us.
Why should I sign up my child to UpTop Dance School?
We understand the importance of education and we deliver that through dance. Our classes are more than just movement. Your child will learn theory as well as practical execution. We focus on teaching a solid vocabulary with the names of the steps, improving their freestyle and their performance skills.
What age group do you offer dance classes for ?
We offer street dance classes for children aged 4–14, with groups organised according to age and level. Please check our timetable to find the most suitable class for your child. At our Kilburn and Camberwell locations, 4-year-olds are currently accepted following a trial and approval, as we do not have a dedicated 4-year-old class at these locations. This allows us to make sure the class is suitable for your child before they join.
Do you have dance classes for children younger that 4 years old?
Unfortunately we don’t have classes for children younger than 4 years old. Please contact us when your child turns 4.
What type of subscription do you offer?
Our standard rate is £14 per class, with a commitment until the end of the current term.
Joining at the beginning of the term?
A full 12-class term is discounted to £149 to attend once per week or £199 to attend twice/week.
You can pay the membership in full or spread the cost over 3 Direct Debit instalments, collected on the 16th of each month.
Joining after the term has started?
Your fee is simply calculated as:
£14 × number of classes remaining in the term.
Where possible, the remaining fee can be split into 2 Direct Debit instalments. For late joiners, the remaining balance is paid in full via a secure payment link.
School holidays are not charged and no regular classes take place during school holidays.
How do I cancel my child's membership?
Membership operates on a termly rolling basis and automatically continues into the following term.
If your child will not be returning for the next term, you must notify us at least 4 weeks before the start of the new term.
Membership fees remain payable until the end of the current term.
Please see our Terms & Conditions for our full cancellation policy.
What dance styles will my child learn?
At UpTop Dance School, your child will have the opportunity to learn an array of street dance styles, with a primary emphasis on hip-hop and dancehall.
Do I need to bring anything to class?
Please wear comfortable clothes and bring a bottle of water.
Are there any performance opportunities for students?
At UpTop Dance, children will be given the chance to showcase their skills at our annual end-of-school showcase in July and participate in individual dance battles scheduled throughout the year. Additionally, our advanced and intermediate groups also have various performance opportunities throughout the year.
Can parents observe their child's dance class?
While parents are not allowed to remain inside the dance studio during classes, they can view classes through a glass door at most of our locations. At our Camberwell location, parents are welcome to watch from inside the dance room during the first 10 and last 10 minutes of the trial class.
Where can I get an UpTop Dance t-shirt for my child?
To get an UpTop Dance t-shirt for your child, please contact us at contact@uptopdance.com or call us at 07594747889 for pricing details. We will be happy to assist you in obtaining a t-shirt. You can also let us know, and we’ll bring the t-shirt to the next scheduled dance class for your convenience.
Does UpTop Dance School have a uniform?
Currently, UpTop Dance does not require a mandatory uniform for our students. However, we do encourage children to wear the UpTop Dance t-shirt as it fosters a sense of unity and discipline within the dance community. While not mandatory, it helps create a cohesive atmosphere during classes.
