| Am
I allowed to watch my child in class?
Yes! We have large viewing windows and a spacious lobby
for parents and siblings.
Can
we try the class before we commit?
Sure. Your child may do one free trial class to see
if it is the right fit.
How
long do the classes run?
Our school year session runs September through May and
we have a separate session in the summer. There is no
contract requiring dancers to participate for the entire
session, but we feel it is important for students to
complete their class commitment whenever possible.
What
is your policy on music and costume choices?
All of the music used in class and for performances
is age-appropriate, as is the choreography. Themes of
sex and violence are not allowed for any age. All costume
selections are required to cover cleavage, mid-riffs,
and rear-ends.
If
I miss a class, do you offer make-up classes?
Students are allowed to do make-ups by attending another
class that has space available. Check with the office
for class availability.
How
much do your recital costumes cost?
Our costumes run from $30-$45, depending on the class
and if they are child or adult sizes. We order them
in January to ensure delivery in the spring. The cost
is broken up into two payments- $20 in October and the
balance is due in January.
What
do you charge for your recital fees?
Recital tickets are $6.00 per person and all performers
are free. Optional expenses may be pictures, flowers,
t-shirts, and DVD’s that are offered as souvenirs
and for your convenience.
What
is a “combo” class?
Combo classes are offered for young and beginning dancers
to let them sample different dance styles. Classes offered
for preschoolers and kindergartners are ballet and tap
and ages 6-8 may do a jazz and tap combo. Dancers will
do both dance styles during their lesson each week.
Where
can I get shoes and dancewear for my child?
We sell dance shoes at a reasonable price at the studio,
along with a limited amount of tights and leotards.
We also recommend On Stage Dancewear for shoes and clothing,
or any department store for children’s dancewear.
We do not allow satin ballet slippers for use in class
as dance shoes.
