Please read our most commonly
asked questions with answers below to get a better understanding of our program. If you have a question not
listed, please call us at (561) 792-9757.
How young do you accept students?
We accept students as young as 2 years old.
For the 2008-2009 school year, the 2 year old student should have turned 2 by September 1, 2008. 2 year old students take
our Creative Movement class. This class is a great way for toddlers to gain self confidence, learn to listen and follow
rules, and meet new friends.
Do younger students need to be potty trained?
Pre-school age students are not required to be potty trained, however we
prefer students are at least in the potty training process. If your child is not fully potty trained, he/she
must wear a diaper or pull-up during class.
Do I have to wait for my child at the studio or can
I leave while he/she is in class?
You only need to remain at the studio if your child is not 100% potty trained or if you feel there
will be some sort of separation issue. Otherwise, you can take advantage of the time and run errands or take care of
personal business. If you do leave the studio, though, you need to leave us with a number where you can be reached.
What will my child need to wear to class?
Most classes require a leotard with
tights and the appropriate shoes, however for a complete list of required dance attire for each class go to our dance attire page. Hair must be pulled back in a tight pony tail, at a minimum, a bun is preferred. How long are the classes?
We do not operate in sessions. Our
classes operate year round, running in conjunction with the academic school year. Our regular school year begins
in late August and ends in mid-June. Although a student may join at any time during the school year before we are too
far into our recital choreography, the most ideal time of year for a student to join is in August. Our curriculum
continues to build throughout the year on steps learned in the previous classes, so students joining late in the
year may need to take extra lessons to catch up. We also offer summer season classes that usually meet mid-June
to late July.
How much does it cost to attend classes?
Costs vary, depending on how many classes
your child takes each week. Our tuition is a yearly tuition, that for your convenience, is broken into 10 equal installments
due on the 15th of each month from August to May. There is also a non-refundable annual registration fee due at the
time of registering. We offer family discounts for families with multiple children who take classes.
Do
you have recitals or performances?
We perform at several events throughout the year including local school and church festivals,
the Palms West Chamber of Commerce Holiday Parade, Salsa Fest, Race for the Cure and more. We also hold an annual dance
recital where students get to show off the skills they learned all in year in a professional performance setting. For
our more information on our annual recital, visit our recital info page.
