Events: Important Dates and Information
Keep up to date with all the dates and events happening in 2026 for Confident Kids Performing Arts School!
Ready Set Dance Term Dates
Why are our terms longer for our younger students? We found that after a two week break, many of our younger students required time to resettle into classes. We have found that for many, the shorter break is much better to support their ongoing learning. If your child can not attend any classes during the term, you are of course welcome to attend a make-up class any day, and in any style your child would like to attend.
