Each student is entitled to a 2 week trial period. We feel this really enables the student to ensure they love dancing as much as we do! 

Of course not! On the rare occasion Setting the Barre isn't for you, you simply don't sign up! 

Trials are always offered at a 50% discount. Eg) if attending a 45 minute class (usually £6/week) you are charged at £3/week. This can be paid by cash or card on the day. 

For your child's trial period, we advise shorts and a t shirt - something comfortable to move safely in. Bare feet for ballet & modern, and trainers for tap. Following this, we have a set uniform which is available to order.

We encourage grown ups to stay outside the studio, for all classes. We find the children settle in quicker, and it gives them a chance to socialise with their peers. Not having grown ups in the studio increases productivity and concentration levels! We obviously welcome you in when we have our 'watching weeks' or 'showcases'. If a student is particularly nervous we are able to waiver this. 

Our purpose built dance studio in Tavistock: Crelake Studio, Pixon Court, Crelake Industrial Estate, Tavistock, PL19 9AZ. Parking is advised at Riverside or Meadowlands Car Parks. 

Uniform order forms are always available! We endeavour to have your order ready for your next lesson where possible. 

• Safety first! Loose clothing can cause tripping and therefore injuries- we don't want any of those!
• To dance to the best of your ability! We don't want your clothing to restrict your movement, and we want to see your dancing!
• One of us! We want your child to feel part of setting the Barre, and join their peers in wearing our uniform. 
• Tradition! Dancing is a traditional art form and we like to honour that!
