Fees and payment
Ways to pay
Fees are payable at the start of each ten-week term. You can pay by bank transfer or by cheque.
The class fees account is new this term
Please delete any saved payee from last year and use the details below. The festival account has not changed.

We have two accounts, both at Lloyds Bank. Please use the right one for what you are paying.

Cheque
Dance classes, exams and summer school, payable to Angela D Cantan. Festival rehearsals and festival fees, payable to HPA Events. Please write the pupil's name and what the payment is for on the back.
One thing to watch
We will never email or message you asking you to pay into a different account. Changes are only ever announced in the school newsletter and on this page. If you get a message like that, call Angela on 01428 652360 before you pay anything.
Keeping class fees separate from festival fees saves a great deal of untangling at the start of term, because the two are budgeted separately. If you are paying for both, please send two payments rather than one.
Giving notice
We ask for a full term's notice in writing, or a full term's fee, if your child is going to stop.
We hire the halls we teach in and pay for them in advance, budgeting on the number of children in each class. If pupils leave without notice we run that class at a loss, and that is what pushes fees up for everyone.
If money is tight
Keeping fees low so that local children can take part is the reason this school exists, and that has not changed since 1968. If paying becomes difficult at any point, please speak to Angela. It can usually be sorted out.
What fees cover
Most classes are £90 for a ten-week term. Costumes for shows are provided by the school rather than bought by parents. Exam entry and festival work are charged separately. Full fees for every class are on the timetable.
