Registration opens April 15th. Click on the Parent Portal tab to register for classes. Please email the studio at [email protected] with any questions.

Registration Fees: A $20 registration fee per student is due upon registering for any classes. For families with multiple dancers, discounted rates include: $35 for 2 students, $50 for 3 students or more.

Sessions: Each session is made up of 8 classes, with the exception of the 5th and final session which is half of a session. Yearly tuition is divided up amongst sessions to assist families in managing their payments. Thus, any snow days that may arise will not be credited. Makeup days may be discussed with the teacher.
