Which class is right?
My child has never danced. Where do we start?
Almost every new dancer begins in Grade 1. A placement visit with the teacher confirms it, and it takes a short visit.
My child has danced before. Do we start over?
Not necessarily. Bring a short demonstration if you like, and the teacher will suggest the grade where your dancer will be comfortable and still learning.
I am an adult and have never danced. May I join?
Yes, in the adult beginner evening. Nobody is expected to arrive with anything but comfortable clothes.
Can a parent join a class with a child?
Parents are welcome in the waiting area, and on watch days in the studio. Classes are for dancers.
