FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What age can my child start dancing?

Our Tiny 2s class welcomes dancers as young as two. Creative Dance is for ages 3–4, and Ballet/Tap combination classes begin at age 4.

Is it too late to start as a teen or adult?

Never! We offer beginner tap, jazz and Irish classes for students ages 8 and up, and we welcome adult students. Call us and we'll help find the right fit.

What does “non-competitive” mean?

We don't compete on the dance-competition circuit. Instead, our dancers focus on technique, artistry and performing for our community — at our annual recital, spring showcase and charity events — without competitive pressure or extra travel costs.

How are students placed in a level?

Students are placed according to completion of the prior year's syllabus and/or instructor recommendation. New students are placed by age and experience — just give us a call.

Can my child join mid-season?

Yes — new students are always welcome. Contact us about availability in your dancer's class.

Does every class perform in the recital?

Most classes perform in our June recital at The Klein Memorial Auditorium. Some classes perform in the April Showcase or an in-studio performance, and a few are non-performing. Each class is color-coded on the fall schedule.

What is Performance Troupe?

An invitation-only group of dancers ages 7–18 who learn dances in multiple styles and perform at local charity events and nursing homes throughout the season. Ask the director about eligibility.
