Should you be successful in your application you may be able to get help towards your contribution from other sources, please contact DanceEast to discuss this. Parental contributions may be paid in instalments over the year. Suitable payment plans can be discussed individually following the offer of a place.
Travel and dancewear
Students may apply for financial assistance with travel and dancewear costs. Application can be made on a yearly basis, and assistance is means tested on the same scale as the grant funding, e.g. families who are entitled to a full grant are also entitled to full reimbursement for dancewear and travel; families who are entitled to 50% grant are also entitled to claim 50% of dancewear and travel costs.
