CLASS ENROLLMENT  -  CLASS LEVELS 

​

When does your dance season start?

Our dance season starts at the beginning of September every year and runs until the beginning of June. We end the season with a big June Show. We offer multi-day Summer Dance Camps & Dance Intensives from June - August.

​

When does enrollment start & end?

Enrollment for our dance season opens at the beginning of August, and is open through January. If you would like to participate in the June Recital, you must enroll by January. Enrollment for our Summer programs typically opens in mid-late February.

 

Can I start mid-season?

Yes, you can enroll mid-season, but we highly recommend starting classes in September, which is the very start of our dance season! Our classes are taught at a progressive pace, so every week counts! If you start mid season, you will be a few weeks/months behind the other dancers. (Please note: this is just our recommendation - Enrollment is open through mid-Spring)

 

Can I try a class before enrolling?

Absolutely! We offer a FREE TRIAL WEEK for all new students! You get 1 week to try as many classes (for your age & level) as you'd like to see which ones you enjoy best before you have to commit. Please note, Trial Classes are not available in full classes.

 

I have no dance experience, what class should I take?

Any Level I class in the style you are interested in! Click here to read our class descriptions!

 

I have prior dance experience, what level should I start in?

All dance studios have different levels and class structure. Though you may have been in Level 3 at one studio, that doesn't necessarily mean you will be a Level 3 at another studio. We always recommend TRIALING a Level I or II class, and the teacher can evaluate you and place you in the appropriate level based on our studio's curriculum.

 

Am I committed to the entire season?

Nope! You can drop at anytime - however if you are performing in the June Show, you must commit through June!

 

Can I drop a class?

You can drop a class online through your Parent Portal. You must drop your class(es) before the 1st of the month to avoid being charged tuition. *Please note: Due to a heavy volume of daily emails we receive, we do not recommend emailing us your drop request. We do not want to miss your email.

​

Do you have waitlists for full classes?

Yes! Our classes do tend to fill quick, so if a class is full, we are able to add you to the waiting list. We will contact you once a spot opens up or if we add a new class of the same type. After we notify students from waiting lists we generally give you 24-48 hours to accept the spot in the class or we move on to the next potential student. All waiting lists are cleared once enrollment closes.

​

Is there a penalty for dropping classes mid season?

If you have not committed to our recital, you are free to drop classes at anytime, however we highly encourage dancers to stick with their classes through the end of the season!

​

At the end of the season in June, do I need to drop the classes myself?

Nope! Once we wrap up the season, all enrollment will be cleared. New enrollment is required for the next season!

​

 DANCE PROGRAMS  - COMPETITION TEAMS  

​

What is the difference between Competition Team and Company Dance Program?

Competition Teams are separate teams that have their own rehearsals and compete dance routines at local competitions. The Company is a group of dancers who take our "Company" weekly dance classes. Company classes are more advanced and moved at an accelerated pace. Company dancers ARE NOT required to be on competition teams. Students must audition or be approved by the staff to be eligible to take company classes.

​

What are the different dance programs you offer?

We have 3 different Dance Program tracks at our studio.

1.) Recreational Track

2.) Pre-Company Track

3.) Company Track

​

Is anyone eligible to take Company Classes?

No. You need to audition or be invited to take company classes.

​

What if I just want to dance for fun?

We recommend our Recreational Track! There are no requirements or financial commitments. Read more about our Recreational Track here.

​

I really want to take my dance training to the next level. Which program is best for me?

If you are serious about your dance training, we definitely recommend getting involved in our Company program. Our Company track is an accelerated dance program geared toward Intermediate - Advanced dancers looking for a big push in their dance training.

​

I am a beginner dancer, but am really commited to improving my training. Which track is best for me?

If you are not quite ready for our Company track yet, but are serious about improving, we recommend our Pre-Company track! Take a look at some more info about Pre-Company here.

​

I was recommended to sign up for Pre-Company. Can I still audition for Company classes?

Yes! Pre-Company was just a suggestion, so if you wish to audition for Company classes you still may do so! If you are not quite ready for the Company track yet, we will still recommend starting in our Pre-Company track until your teachers feel you are ready for company track.

An audition is required to be considered for a Competition Team. Auditions are held once a year. We do not do mid-season auditions.
