"I just wanted to say a huge thank you for a great year and fantastic, relaxed presentation day today. My little ballerina loved performing for her Nanna and her Dad and going up on stage to collect her medal." - Renee
Cherubs, Mummy & Me Classes
Does 'Mum' participate in the Cherubs/Mummy & Me Presentation Day class?
Yes, to keep things the same as your regular class and to assist when needed. Having Mum within arm's length at all times makes this a very safe and secure environment for your child to perform at their best!
What should 'Mum' wear for the Presentation Day class?
Try and wear all black, that way you will not stand out and allow the children to take the limelight!
Can Dad participate in the Cherubs/Mummy & Me Presentation Day performance instead of Mum?
Certainly, and it doesn't have to be the person who normally comes to class to assist. If you are planning for someone else to assist on the day then we strongly encourage them to come along to a few classes to get the hang of it, so you can support your child properly on the day!

"Thank you so much for the presentation day and also Kinderballet for giving an opportunity to kids to present their talents." - Naveen
Payment
How much does it cost?
Nothing (in 2020)!
How do we pay?
N/A
I'm not sure if my child will participate...
As Presentation Day is completely FREE this year (2020) there is no stress associated with having to participate because of the expense incurred!
If your child is hesitant then you lose nothing. No child has to feel like they have to participate.
What if we don't want to do Presentation Day?
Then just don't attend the final class of the year, please note there are no refunds for the final class if you choose not to attend or are unable to attend.

"We thoroughly enjoyed the presentation day performance last Friday! Thank you! The standard of the dances was so fantastic and we couldn't have been prouder of our daughter and the other children in the class." - Monica
Costume
The main difference this year (2020) is that we will NOT be supplying a costume – instead we invite each child to come along in a costume of their choosing!
Because of all the uncertainly we didn’t even know if we would be able to run any Presentation Day classes this year (even now, who could say for sure), and if so, would the restrictions make it unfeasible (or less enjoyable), or would the costumes make it on time from overseas? We couldn’t be sure what was going to happen so we have gone with this option.
This year (2020), each child is encouraged to dress-up in whatever they like. You can co-ordinate with others in the class if you wish, purchase a costume from us (we do have a limited number of costumes available) or from anywhere you like, you don’t even have to buy something new if you have something already at home – its totally up to you!

"I would just like to say how lovely the presentation day was, I was particularly impressed with the format which meant the children were so relaxed and happy when presenting for their family and friends - rather than making the day a stressful 'performance'. Thank you very much for everything and we look forward to seeing you in the new year." - Francesca
Audience
How many people can we bring?
We usually allow for 4 audience members per student, but this year (2020) will be different due to COVID restrictions. We will keep everyone updated closer to the class as restrictions change.
Does that include 'Mum' for Mummy & Me classes?
'Mum' in the 'Mummy & Me' class performances is considered a 'performer' so she would not count as an audience member.
What if I bring my baby along, does that count?
Very young children don't count in the total if they will not take up a seat.
Why are only 4 people (usually) allowed?
We want to keep the audience small so as not to overwhelm our very young performers. We also want to keep the performance in our regular venue where possible for familiarity. Extra people could also cause us to go over maximum limits for things like fire safety.
What if we need to bring more people?
Sorry, this will not be possible this year (2020).
What if we don't have four people to attend - can we get a partial refund?
No.
Do we need tickets to attend Presentation Day?
No one requires tickets to attend our Presentation Day classes.
What if we have more than one child in the class, can we bring more people along?
We allow for 4 audience members per student, so if you have 2 children participating in the performance then you can bring 8 people.(Not in 2020)

"Just wanted to pass on my congratulations to Miss Jude the presentation day on Friday was a huge success." - Kerry
Photos/Video
Can I take photos and/or video during the performance?
You are welcome to take whatever photos and video you like as long as it is used for non-commercial purposes only. Please let us know if you are approached by anyone offering photos sale.
What if I don't want people taking photos and/or video of my child?
In this case it would be best not to participate in Presentation Day.
What is the Presentation Day Photo Competition?
It's a competition we run each year, prizes are awarded to the best photos we receive from Presentation Day. The wonderful images you see on this page were all taken by parents and submitted to the photo comp. What you see are images of very happy children who have had a wonderful time at their Presentation Days! Find out more...

"'Nyah absolutely loved her presentation day as did grandparents and myself who attended. It was very exciting to watch Nyah and her friends dance. I especially loved the fact that they were celebrated as the stars. I think the presentation day format was wonderful as it fostered the children and allowed them to be the stars rather than one act in a whole concert like last year. I know for the teachers, that the presentation days would be very time consuming for every group however the extra effort is noted and allows us as parents to focus on the only person we really want to see dance...our daughter. Thanking you for your efforts" - Trudy
Preparation
What should my child wear to come to class on Presentation Day?
Children can arrive in their regular clothes.
What do we need to bring?
Ballet shoes, tights (or socks), camera (or iPads and phones). A new/clean pair of tights will look nice during the performance and in photos. You can purchase from our Online Store
Do we have to have hair in a ballet bun?
Only if you (and your child) want to, we don't require all the children to have their hair the same.
Do we need to get new ballet shoes and tights?
Only if their current shoes and tights are a bit messy looking - its totally up to you.

"Just wanted to say how much we enjoyed the presentation this week ... what an excellent job Rochelle did preparing the girls all term and on the day. They all seemed really relaxed and enjoying themselves which I think is a credit to her as a teacher. I know Violet was also pretty impressed with the costume she got to keep and proud of her medal." - Emma
*Cherubs Classes
This year, we will be offering a Mini-Presentation Day for our very youngest Kinderballerinas!
It's still being finalized - an announcement will be made in the coming weeks!.
