Simon Says PERFORM!
It's not just about coming along to do a class with us - oh no! We provide fantastic opportunities for our students to shine, in many different ways.
From our mini end-of-term videos*, to our full-blown formal showcases we hold at the beautiful Brunton Theatre in Musselburgh twice a year, there's an opportunity for your child to perform and express themselves here at Simon Says Dance.
After all, it's important for you as a parent to see just how much our classes develop our students. Not just in terms of dance and performance but in terms of self-confidence and personal development too.
*end-of-term showings are dependent on class

Questions? Answered..
Can beginners join?YES! Our classes are tailored as such to develop students by age group, meaning experience isn't essential. We welcome all abilities, and with the help of our experienced teaching team, we're positive your child will come on leaps and bounds in a very short space of time, regardless if your child has experience or not. We would recommend only attending a trial if you feel your child is confident enough to manage without a parent - we can't permit parents inside our venues for capaciity reasons. |
Can we try a class?YES! We offer a FREE TRIAL to any new student trying a new style with us. For example, if you're unsure which style your child might like more, book multiple free trials then decide afterwards - simples! Your child's space is guaranteed until you decide after their trial. To book a free trial*, visit our Timetable here. *spaces dependent We would recommend only attending a trial if you feel your child is confident enough to manage without a parent at the studio - during Covid-19 we can't permit parents inside the building unless for emergencies unfortunately. |
Is there a uniform?Depending on the class style, there may be a specific uniform required if your child continues the class after their trial. For the purposes of a free trial class, simply ensure the clothing is comfortable and not too loose - a t-shirt, joggers/leggings and trainers is perfect. See our detailed Uniform Guidelines here for more info.
We currently have an online shop with general merchandise available to buy, including Simon Says Dance t-shirts, bags and jumpers. |
Can parents watch?To manage capacities across our venues and to maintain safe operating capacity/ventilation, parents aren't permitted to wait and watch our classes. That being said, if you wanted to have a peek (for example, it's your child's first time) then we can allow for this from time to time. We do carry out regular filming of our classes throughout the year so parents can see what we get up to! |
Do you teach many boys?YES! At Simon Says Dance, we teach nearly 200 boys each week across ALL styles! We promote inclusivity here and welcome anyone to come and enjoy our classes. It can be daunting for boys to take the leap and try dance but we urge everyone to remember that some of the world's most famous dancers are male - think Diversity dance troupe!

How do I pay/rebook?We use Class4Kids for class bookings which allows parents to review their bookings online via a nifty online portal. You can pay Online via the portal, in Cash at class or via Bank Transfer. Classes must be paid by Week 2 of a new term.
