When can I register for classes?
Registration for each year begins in June and ends November 1. Class sizes are limited, so registering early is recommended. There will also be a yearly $60 registration fee per student due with your September class(es) payment.
If my child can’t make the class for her age group, can I move her up a level?
Unfortunately no, students are placed based on age, experience, and level; please call or e-mail for a schedule.
Why does my child need to wear specific dance clothes and shoes?
Proper dance clothes are required for our students’ safety and so that instructors can give corrections on technique.
