Classes started Monday, August 26th, 2024. We have 2 semesters of classes at 15 weeks each. Each semester is split into 4 payments for tuition. Enrollment for our school year classes closed on October 31st. 

Enrollment is closed for our school year schedule, but we do have 2 classes available. We currently have adult tap and a new class for ages 3-5 listed below.

We believe skill level is more important than age for placement. A placement class will be scheduled in August. More details are still to come.
