Common Questions
Can my dancer join a class now?
Classes start in September, January, and June. Some classes have drop in options. Check the portal to see what is available for your dancer today. Deadline to audition for the competition team is August 1st
What styles of dance do you offer?
We have classes in jazz, tap, ballet, lyrical, contemporary, acro, hip hop, and musical theatre. We have fun combo classes for kids like hip hop and acro, jazz and tap, and we offer workshops in other styles like dance hall, ballroom, and pilates.
Do you have a dress code?
No, we do not believe the brand or color of your child's dance wear is relevant. Dancers can wear athletic wear or dancewear that is form fitting and allows free movement. Dancers can wear baggy clothes for hip hop.
