Is my dancer too old to start dancing and what class should I take?
No! Dancers of all ages and levels are welcome in our dance studio. Our programs are currently broken down by age, however as the studio grows we will add more levels. We have trained dancers from ages 3 through high school and have also had dancers take their first class at 13, 16, 30 or even 60 years old. Don't let anything or anyone stop you from giving it a try.
To figure out what to take, first look for the classes in your age range then pick the dance style. If you need examples, there are plenty out there on YouTube and other popular social media platforms.
Why is my dancer repeating the same class for more than one year?
Our program is designed for your dancer to learn and grow at a healthy pace. Young dancers usually spend the first year learning how to take class, the second year developing more coordination, focus, and balance, and the third year being a leader in the class and solidifying all of the skills before moving to the next stage in their training. Proper dance training takes time with qualified teachers. The best way to advance your skills is to dance more, work hard and have patience.
When I look at my online account I see a negative balance, what does this mean?
The negative number represents a credit or amount already paid to account. If you pay your tuition before the 1st you will see this until tuition gets posted on the 1st of each month.
What happens if there is another shutdown?
If the studio would need to close, your account will be frozen. Any classes already taken will be prorated and you will have a credit that can be used for up to one year when we re-open. We will not be able to issue any refunds. Only a credit will be available.

Your tuition due will appear on the date that it is due. (The first of each month.)
We do offer the option to have your account on auto pay. Just click the box for auto pay when you are checking out or email us and we will add you.
What happens if I am on a wait list?
If a class is full we will offer the opportunity to join a wait list. If there are enough dancers on the wait list we will consider opening a new class. Dancers on a wait list will be given the opportunity to join the class in the order they added to the wait list.
Do you compete or have a competitive team?
No. We are a professional dance school and have a Pre-Professional Track for dancers who want to accelerate their training. Dancers enrolled in our Pre-Professional program will perform in the Nutcracker Winter Showcase and have Pop Up Class events with guest teachers, plus be part of a team of motivated dancers. Our program is dedicated to providing dancers with a strong technical and artistic education. Learn MORE.
