All dancers should be fully potty trained, including our Tiny Dancers classes for ages 2-3. Exception: Dancers in our Together Time with Tots (also called “Dance with Me”) classes do not need to be potty trained.

In our 22 years of experience, we’ve learned that kids feel more confident and participate more when parents are not in the room. Fewer distractions mean greater focus and fun for everyone! Because of this, only dancers and instructors are allowed in the studio classroom during class time. We love sharing your dancer’s progress at our Winter Showcase, which takes place in December, and our annual recitals in June!
BUT...we have cameras in every studio room for parents to view their dancer’s class. We have partnered with a reputable company called SpotTV that services hundreds of dance studios and childcare centers around the country. Click here to learn more!

We do not prorate for scheduled or unscheduled missed classes or absences. Each dancer is allowed two make-up classes per semester, which must be pre-scheduled through our office.

Yearly registration fees are non-refundable.
Summer classes require a 2-week cancellation notice before the first day of Summer classes in which the amount paid will be added as a credit to your account to use in the future but not refunded. Once classes begin credits and refunds are not available.
