Yes. We offer the first TWO lesson as a trial. 

What is my age group? 

Age groups are determined based on your age on the 31st August. For example, if you turn 9 on or before the 31st August, your class/competing age is 9. If you turn 9 on September 1st or later, your class/competing age is 8.

Do you have Divisions? 

Yes. Your division is determined based on your past physie experience and discussed with your teacher. 

What do I wear to class? 

Fitted clothes that allow ease of movement. Tights and singlet top, or leotard, are ideal so teachers are better able to see correct positions and posture.

How big are the classes? 

There is no set number of students per class. We aim to keep the number of students per teacher to a relatively constant ratio.

Am I free to leave while my child is in class? 

Yes. We just ask that you drop-off and pick-up your child at the room and then go and enjoy the facilities of Mounties Club. 

Can I watch classes? 

We find students work best without an audience. However, if you wish to watch then noise must be kept to a minumum. If noise becomes distracting than we may ask people to relocate for the remainder of the lesson. We do encoruage you to come and watch two lesson per term to see your childs progress. 

Are there performances? 

Yes. There are performances throughout the year, including ribbon comp, Interclub, Individual Championships, Teams, Grand Final & Club Competition.

Do I have to compete?

Competitions are not compulsory. However, we encourage you to participate in all aspects of the sport. These competitions help build confidence, resilience, club spirit, and friendships in our girls and ladies, both as individuals and as part of a team.

Do I need expensive costumes to compete? 

Our association is partnered with Neon Dancewear. To compete, performers select and order what they would like to wear for the year. Members can choose from leotards OR perforance wear. Hair and make-up rulings can be found in the members section on the United Physical Culture Associations website.
