The school offers a range of classes for students of all ages and abilities. Children as young as 3 years old are welcomed into the school, where they begin their dance journey with ballet classes that focus on storytelling and mime. As they progress, students have the opportunity to explore other dance genres, such as tap and jazz, which allow for more expressive and creative movement.
In addition to regular classes, The Sally Prout School of Dancing also offers special events, workshops, and performances throughout the year. These opportunities provide students with a chance to showcase their skills, gain performance experience, and further their passion for dance.
When joining the school, prospective students need to complete a registration form. Fees are due termly in advance, and a 10% surcharge will be applied to any fees not received by the end of the first week of term. A written notification of at least half a term is required if a student wishes to discontinue any classes at the school, and failure to provide the correct notice will result in the payment of fees.
All students are expected to attend classes in the appropriate dance uniform.

The school offers a range of competitively priced dancewear, which can be conveniently purchased through their software system, Dance Studio Pro.
