Our fall classes continue through spring and conclude with our spring recital. All students in fall classes will continue taking in the same classes until they perform at the spring recital in May. The best time to enroll for the fall/spring session is June through early September. We generally follow the school year schedule, so spring semester (January-May) is not a good time to enroll. We will start a few younger aged classes in spring, but we order the majority of our costumes in November for the spring recital. So adding students in spring is difficult, especially since most classes will already be full, and the other students in class will have more knowledge of the class. 

The best time to enroll for the summer session is in April or May. 

Yes, unless you tell us otherwise.

Fall semester is mid-September through mid-January and spring semester is mid-January through mid-May (or whenever the spring recital is scheduled). Spring classes end when we have the spring recital.

The progression of classes for younger children is the 3 year old class, pre-dance, adv pre-dance, combo, and then adv combo. Students generally spend one year in each of these classes and then move on to the next class. A 5 year old without dance experience should take pre-dance. A 5 year old with previous dance experience can enroll in adv pre-dance.

Students in our older classes will generally spend 2 or more years in each level before progressing. If you child is beyond the adv combo age, please ask what class is best to enroll in.
