Holidays and Closures

Our holidays and closure dates are listed in our calendar shown above. We have accounted for holiday and closure dates in our tuition rates.

Absences and Makeups

Absences: Please submit an absence in your online portal. This is required in order to schedule a makeup class. While preferable to do so before the absence happens so the teacher knows why the student is not in class that day, after the absence is fine too.

To log an absence, in your portal, click Attendance and then click Report Absence. Select your dancer, select the dates for the absence, enter the reason for the absence, and click Next. Confirm the dates and click Submit Absence.

Makeups: To schedule a makeup class for an absence, please email us the makeup class date and time you would like to take. Makeups must be completed within the same month of absence, with our approval. We will email you a class makeup confirmation.

Missed classes due to holidays and studio closures are factored in to tuition and not eligible for makeups.

Withdrawals & Dropping Classes

We require at least 30 days email notice for withdrawal or cancellation from classes. After we receive your withdrawal email, we will drop your child from class. 

To add a class to your schedule, simply go to your parent portal and add the class. Some classes require teacher/director approval; in these cases, please email us

To drop a class, email us to request the drop. 

​Class Cards

Class cards are the perfect way to take classes when you aren't sure about your schedule and can't commit to a regular class, or you want to try additional classes until you settle on the ones you want to register in. You may use a class card for any class that is not approval required.

We offer class cards in your parent portal. Four classes: $125​.

To purchase a class card, go to your parent portal, click Punch, then select the type and enter the quantity. The expiration period for class cards begins on the date of the first class used. 

Trials

You may take one free trial. Please email us to schedule your trial.

If you'd like to try additional classes, you may take them on a drop-in basis ($35/class for 30-60 min classes, or $40/class for 75-

Drop-Ins

Drop-ins are a great way to try new classes before you commit to the class.

If you're already registered for a class, you may take up to 3 drop-ins for only $10/drop-in with prior scheduling.

If you are not yet registered for any classes, start with your free trial (you can schedule online for any class that allows drop-ins), then drop-ins are as follows:

• Regular 45- to 60-min class drop-in: $35/class, paid in advance.
  
• 75-90 min regular class drop-in: $40/class, paid in advance.
