ADULT COMMUNITY CLASS QUESTIONS

These questions apply to classes that are run by Wellington Performing Arts Centre. These classes include: Acting for Adults, Jazz, Hip Hop, Tap Dance, Ballet, Screen Acting and Contemporary Dance.

 

Can I just turn up on the night and attend a class?

Yes. You are welcome to attend a one-off class and pay on the night.

 

What if I do not participate in the class, but just watch it, do I still have to pay?

Yes. You will still be charged for the class even if you just watch. The tutors prefer that you participate in the class.

 

Do I need to register for the class?

We encourage you to register for the class before you turn up. You can do this by clicking on the particular class you wish to attend and filling out the online booking form, or you can download a rego form here and bring it in on the night.

 

I'm an absolute beginner, will I still be able to cope with the 'beginners' class?

Yes. The beginners classes are designed for people who haven't had training in that particular style before.

 

What if I have had some training, but not in that particular style, should I still attend the beginners class?

If you are not confident enough to go straight into the Advanced or Open class it is always best to start in the beginners class. You can talk to the tutor about what level you feel you are at and possibly move up into the next level.

 

Can I get one-on-one tutoring?

Please contact the Centre for this.

 

Do I have to attend the classes every week?

No. The Centre recognises that some people cannot always attend classes on a weekly basis.

 

Can I use a book of ten tickets for different classes?

Yes. You can use the tickets for different classes provided the duration on the ticket matches the duration of the class. For example, a one-hour ticket is used for a one-hour class and not a one and a half hour class.

 

I bought a book of ten tickets quite a while ago and they have now expired, can I still use the tickets?

Yes, Tickets are now valid for 12months.

 

Can I join a class half-way through the term?

Yes. You are still welcome to join the class at any point during the term.

 

When does the next term begin?

Term 1    Monday 8 February to Thursday 1 April               

Term 2    Monday 19 April to Friday 2 July                        

Term 3    Monday 19 July to Friday 24 September

Are there classes during the holidays?

No. There is a two week break and then the next term begins. The Centre will also be closed druing public holidays.

 

What should I wear?

Wear comfortable clothing, like gym clothing, that you can move in freely.
