FAQ
Why is there a dress code?
Just like any other sport, there are requirements for what a participant wears to help them excel. Soccer players need the right color jersey and cleats to play right? Dance is the same, there is a dress code in all of our classes. Our dress code can be found under our policies.
Are there any discounts or scholarships?
YES! We offer a few different discounts for families, two annual fundraisers, and we partner with the Encore Performing Arts Foundation which provides scholarships to some participants. Check with the office if you’re interested in applying for a scholarship or to get fundraiser information.
Sibling Discount: Siblings from the same immediate family who do not qualify for the above Family Max Discount will receive 20% off of their monthly tuition payments (excludes Born To Entertain Preschool, and shortened sessions).
What are the season dates?
Our standard season runs from September half way through June, ending mid month with a big performance on stage! There are a few shortened 6 and 8 week sessions offered. Dates vary, check with the office for details. A short summer session is offered annually as well, usually beginning in June and going half way through August.
Are there performance opportunities?
Yes!!! We offer 2 on stage recitals annually, as well as traveling performance weeks to local retirement homes. Occasionally the studio takes a group of performers to California where they perform for the crowds in Disneyland.
I think my child is more advanced than the rest of their class.
Our teachers have a great deal of experience with placement and participant skill level in their classes. Every participant advances differently, they may be excelling in one area but need some improvement in another. Some years they may be a leader in class and some years they may be a follower, but rest assured that no matter where they are placed there is valuable lessons being learned in class!
Do you offer private lessons?
We offer one-on-one lessons for current participants. They are available based on the instructor’s schedule and the availability of floor space in the studio. Please contact the office if you are interested in scheduling a private lesson.
Why can’t I stay in the classroom during my child’s lesson?
Although it is a joy to watch your child from inside the classroom during their lesson, it is very distracting to all of the participants. Have you ever heard that your child behaves differently for a grandparent or school teacher? The same thing applies at the dance studio, and oftentimes participants become more focused on their parent than their dance steps or the teacher’s instruction.
