What do we need for dance classes?

Students should have the appropriate shoes for the discipline they are taking. Dance shoes are not to be worn outside, likewise street shoes are not allowed in studios. Students should wear a solid color leotard and tights. In disciplines except ballet, booty shorts or leggings may be worn. All dancewear should be tight fitting and snug so that the instructor may see alignment. Please view our policies for more information.

We have shoes, tights, and a small selection of leotards available in our boutique.

What is your bad weather policy?

What if there's no school?

We do run classes and lessons on days such as Martin Luther King Jr Day or other days when school may not be in session. Refer to our calendar for more information.

Do I get to observe my child in class?

In many of our departments we offer a “Visitor’s Week” where parents are welcomed into the classroom and there is a small observation window in each of the studio doors. We keep studio doors closed during class and ask parents to remain in our waiting area in order to maintain the attention of the child in class.

Where can I find more information?

Much of the information needed is found right here on this website!

We also email our clients at least monthly to keep them up to date as to what’s going on, our calendar, and things to note. Please add [email protected] to your contact list to receive those emails!

Clients wishing to terminate enrollment in classes must do so by written notification.

Your account MUST be made current and brought to a zero balance at the time you submit your request for termination. You are responsible for paying for classes through the effective date of termination.
