  • Our dance season runs from the beginning of September after Labor Day through the end of June.

  • Enrollment closes effective January 1. Costumes and recital preparations typically occur during this time. Additionally, skills and technique will have been taught since September, so students who join late in the season will be behind. Out of fairness to our students and teachers, it is important to begin as early in the season as possible.

  • Tuition payments are processed on the first of every month. All of our families are required to be on our autopay program within The Studio Director.

  • • Dancers must have their hair pulled back at all times.

    • Dancers must wear appropriate shoes for each class (i.e., ballet shoes for ballet class, tap shoes for tap, etc.).

    • Dancers should be in activewear/dance clothing. Any dancer who arrives in street clothes/jeans/etc. will not be permitted to join in class.

    • Dancers who need assistance using the restroom must always have a parent or guardian present. It is not the responsibility of the teacher or assistant to aid in bathroom routines.

    • Dancers should remain in the lobby until their teacher opens the studio door and invites the class in. Additionally, if a studio is not being occupied and/or the door is closed, parents/guardians and dancers shall not enter or occupy that space.
