Choosing the Right Session(s)
Please read all the information provided for each session before making your decision. We recommend attending no more than two sessions per week, as the schedule will be intense on performance day.
​
Trial Week: We will be offering trial sessions during the week commencing 1st September 2025. We encourage you to attend the session(s) you believe you’d like to continue with for the term. However, if you feel the level isn’t quite right, you’ll have the option to switch to a different session during the second week.
​
We ask participants to aim for around 80% attendance per session during each term to support group continuity and performance preparation.
​​​​
​
Session Fees
September - December 2025​​
All sessions are calculated at £9 per hour. Monthly rates reflect a 20% discount from our standard hourly rate, rounded down slightly for simplicity. Monthly rates are available to support commitment and affordability.
Fees include rehearsals, handmade costumes and your first NEDP T-Shirt. Once registered via the Google form linked at the bottom of this page, you will receive an email from us within 7 days to confirm your registration. Registration open in August.

December Fees - Important Note for Dancers Attending Multiple Sessions
***This does not apply to those only attending our Thursday AFTERNOON sessions
​
If a dancer has attended more than one session per week between September and November, they only need to pay once in December. This is because all dancers -regardless of which session(s) they usually attend - will come together for the same four rehearsals. So, even if a dancer has been part of two or more sessions, December is charged as a single flat fee, based on our standard rate of £9/hour with a 20% discount applied. All December sessions will be 2h 15m.

PWYD Pay What You Decide
*These spaces are offered on a first come first served basis.​​
We are offering two PWYD spaces per session offered on a first come first served basis. Once confirmed, your place will be supported for the duration of that project. Register your interest via the registration form which will be available in August. We hope to offer more Pay What You Decide spaces in the future. ​​
