TRY-OUTS

Someone new can dance tonight without signing up for ten weeks.

Newcomers book week one of a block, pick lead or follow, and only get a place where that side has room.

No. It only books where the newcomer's side has room.

What stops people doing try-out after try-out?

One per style, per person, or per course: you choose.

No. They can book on the web from your school page.
