Absence from summer classes/camps is non-refundable, non-transferrable. We are unable to pro-rate summer tuition.

You can view charges and payments, as well as make payments online at any time. You may also register in person at the studio. LEVEL PLACEMENT All classes are taught with proper terminology, conditioning stretches for flexibility, body awareness for appropriate ages and levels, and creatively challenged in a positive and caring dance environment. We place all children in classes according to skill, ability and improvement, rather than age. Please note: Age reference is merely for “new” student enrollment until instructor has properly observed student’s ability. Returning Students Our goal is to keep each class progressing together at a similar pace while paying attention to the slight mixed level that will naturally arise and change throughout the year. New Students: For dancers who come to us with experience at other studios or who have been absent from us for some time, we need to ask a few questions to familiarize ourselves with your skill level and capabilities. Once the initial placement is determined, the first class is then used as a trial. After the first class the teacher will make an assessment and advise if proper placement has been achieved or if a switch to another class is a better fit. CLASS LEVEL GUIDE: Level 1 Beginner: Basic fundamentals are introduced, including body alignment, vocabulary, and basic positions of the feet & arms. Levels 2-3 Advanced Beginner /intermediate: Each level is structured to provide more advanced training as the student is ready. Levels 4-5 Inter. Advanced/Advanced: These inter. Adv. and Adv. levels are the culmination of study and hard work. Students should possess 5+ years of recent and consistent training.
