Are you a Not-for-Profit Organisation?We sure are! As a NFP, we rely on funding and donations from other organisations and businesses. Any money we make is invested straight back into Fantasia to ensure we're creating the best possible environment for our students to learn and thrive. If you'd like to support us, you can donate here.

What if I miss a week?We strongly recommend that if you enrol, you attend all 10 classes. We do understand that sometimes you may get sick or have other commitments and may have to miss a class. Unfortunately, we do not offer refunds or makeup sessions for missed classes but we will do everything we can to bring you up to speed once you return.
-
What happens at the end of the 10 weeks?There will be a performance at the end of each 10 week term, allowing students to share what they have learnt during the term.

Can I just attend a few classes?Our classes are designed to develop students over a 10-week period. With this in mind, we don't offer individual sessions and only accept payment for the full 10-week term. If you are unsure if this class is right for you, we do offer a trial session in week 1.
