The class is filled, will I have another opportunity to participate?

Unfortunately, our sign ups are on a first come, first served basis. Once the class is filled, we cannot add more students due to capacity limitations. We have a waitlist you can sign up for.

How do I know what class is best for me or my student?

Every class has an age range; but our desire is to place students in the best quality education for their individual abilities. If we feel you would benefit moving up a level, we will suggest this privately and do our best to move you up when an opening is available.

Why do I have to take ballet in order to take jazz?

Ballet is the foundation of all dance. Within a ballet class, your student will learn proper technique and the professional dance etiquette required for all classrooms and all dance styles. Ballet not only helps with all dance forms, but there is outstanding research to support countless other benefits supporting the holistic person including but not limited to cognitive improvements, sensory development, and social development.

I want to take several classes, do you offer any discounts?

We have a Musical Theatre Bundle for students 10 years or older which provides a discount to students participating in a base level Ballet Class, base level Jazz Class, Acting Class, and Musical Theatre Class. All other classes will be a la carte and paid individually and in addition to this bundle.
