Thank you for booking a trial class at Simply Ballet
You should have received a confirmation email for your booking. (If you can’t find it – please check your spam folder). This will have your studio location, class date, time and level.
Here’s everything you need to know before coming to your trial class
Finding the Studio
Please check your booking to confirm your studio location. Simply Ballet runs classes at two locations.
Our main studio and most classes are held at King George Hall, 4A Koongarra Court, Magill 5072. Our other location is the Magill Senior Citizens Hall, 76 St Bernards Rd, Magill SA 5072
There is free parking available onsite at both locations. The closet bus stops for King George Hall are Stop 23 – Moules Rd and Stop 24 – Glen Stuart Rd. The closest bus stops for Magill Senior Citizens Hall are Stop 21A St Bernards Rd – West side and Stop 21A St Bernards Rd – East side.
Aim to get to the studio around 10 mins before the start of your class if possible. Bathrooms are available near the front entrance – you might want to take make use of them before class begins.
In the waiting room, you can put your shoes on and get ready for your class. When it’s time for class to start, your teacher will come and collect you or your child from the waiting room. Please take your bag & belongings into the dance studio.
When it’s time for class, come into the studio. Bring your bag into the dance studio with you, and don’t forget to silence your phone.
After class, your teacher can answer any quick questions, and we will get in contact in the following few days to see how your trial class went and answer any more questions you may have. After class, please exit the hall via the side door.
What Do I Wear?
There is no official dress code in the Open Division at Simply Ballet – so, wear whatever you feel comfortable in. If you already have dancewear, whatever combination and colour of leotard, skirt, tights/socks etc. you already have is fine. Other people prefer gym or yoga wear.
If you don’t have any activewear – wear clothes that will allow your body, arms, and legs to move freely and doesn’t cover your feet such as shorts, leggings, or footless tights. A Fitted T-shirt or singlet is fine, and cotton socks for your feet (not synthetic, as they are generally too slippery)
Ballet Shoes are available to purchase at the studio, but cotton socks are perfectly fine for your trial class.
Hair
Hair should be be secured in a way that it will not move during class, especially during bending or turning movements. This applies for both male and female students. A ponytail is usually not sufficient for this so you may want to consider a bun, a braid with the end pinned up, or another style. For medium length hair you can’t get into a ponytail, a headband is a great solution.
If you don’t know how to do a ballet bun, that’s ok – wrap a ponytail around its own elastic a few times and secure with some bobby pins or another elastic.
Is there anything else I need to bring?
If your class is 1 hour or longer we suggest having a water bottle. You may also like to bring a hand towel if you’re worried about sweat. In hot weather students are required to have their own drink bottle as per our hot weather policy. Filtered water is available onsite for refills.
Coughs, Colds and COVID
We ask that you do not attend class if you are unwell for any reason. Just get in contact to reschedule your trial class.
Simply Ballet is a COVID-safe environment and at times has students in class who may be vulnerable to illness.
Barres are cleaned between each class and hand sanitizer is available in all areas. Please make use of hand sanitizer and wipes as needed. Students are encouraged to wash their hands before and after class. You are welcome to wear a mask in class if you want.
I enjoyed my trial class and want to continue – what do I do now?
