CAN I WATCH MY CHILD'S CLASS?

Yes, you may. Seating is right where classes are held. We believe that you as parents/guardians should see what is being instructed to give you the opportunity to rehearse with your dancer at home. But if it becomes a distraction, we reserve the right to ask that you wait outside or in your car.

WILL THERE BE A DANCE RECITAL?

Yes! We schedule two recitals each season: a Winter show (December) and an end-of-season recital (mid-June). All classes perform in this recital (the adult classes will decide as a group if they wish to perform). Additional performances throughout the season are accomplished as they become available.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN CLASS IS CANCELLED?

We may need to cancel class (for weather or schedule conflicts). If that occurs, we will make every attempt to reschedule the class. But if re-scheduling does not permit, then a class credit will be placed in your account.
