What age groups do you offer dance classes for?
Our dance studio embraces dancers of all ages! We have creative combination classes for the youngest ones, ballet/tap classes for ages 2-4, and tap/jazz classes for ages 5-9. For our dancers ages 5+, we offer a wide range of classes that span various dance styles and levels. For adults we offer dance fitness and occasional barre workouts.
Does my child need any dance experience to join?
Absolutely not! Our dance studio warmly welcomes dancers of all experience levels. Whether your child is a seasoned performer or stepping onto the dance floor for the first time, our instructors are adept at tailoring their approach to accommodate each dancer's abilities.
Class Time and Scheduling
Our schedule is readily available on our website and displayed at the studio. Simply match your child's desired classes with their age and fill out the registration sheet accordingly. If our instructors feel that your child might benefit from a different class based on their level, they'll let you know.
Watch Days and Class Cancellation
We kindly ask parents and caregivers to stay in the lobby during classes to minimize distractions for our dancers. However, we understand your eagerness to see your child shine, and we host "Parent Watch Days" during the season, where you'll have the chance to observe classes. As for class cancellations due to snow or weather conditions, we will announce any changes through the Remind app, email, and our social media pages. We don't always follow school closings, so it's essential to check our channels for updates.
How can I stay updated on important dates and studio events?
Communication is key! We keep our dance families well-informed through various channels, including emails, newsletters, and our website. Additionally, our studio notice board will display essential information, ensuring you're always in the loop about upcoming events and class updates.
