Dance Seasons
School year
Our school year season starts in late August and runs through late May. This program finishes with our annual spring recital the weekend after Memorial Day. We accept registrations for this program through the end of January, based on class availability. We use the dancer’s age as of September 1st to determine age group. For leveled classes, teacher recommendation will determine the best level for the dancer.
Summer
We offer a short summer session, along with fun one day summer camps. These shorter options are an excellent time for first time dancers to sign up for classes. It’s also a great chance to try a new style!
General
We use the child’s age as of September 1st to determine age group placement. If there are any questions or concerns about placement, we are here to help. Every dancer develops at their own timing and ensuring they have their best experience is what matters most to us!
