We recommend wearing comfortable stretch clothing that’s not too baggy. Avoid zippers, buttons or jewelry that could get caught while moving. Layering is good to accommodate your temperature and for contemporary dance floor work. Cotton socks are best for contemporary, bare feet also welcome. Ballet slippers are required for ballet performance, but socks are also welcome for class. Classic ballet attire such as leotards and tights are welcome but not required. No outdoor shoes. Hair up.

Please try to be on time for your classes. If you do happen to arrive 5-15 minutes late to your class, we are still happy you made it! Take time to prepare yourself and your belongings before entering the studio space quietly. Look for a true vacant spot, not just the closest place you can squeeze into. Often there is more room on stage right. Please keep in mind we have limited capacity, your spot is only saved if you are on time. Should a class appear full make eye contact with the teacher at an appropriate time and wait to be invited in. Always be courteous and mindful not to disrupt or distract your fellow students. For Ballet classes, always wait for a break between exercises.

We are dedicated to remain open if at all possible, in the event of a cancellation we will contact all students signed up for the class. Updates will also be posted on our facebook and instagram page.

See class descriptions for a breakdown of the levels for each dance style. In general, we recommend your best guess for level and then to adjust from there. You are also welcome to contact the studio with your dance background and we will be happy to help you decide.

Classes are designed progressively. Your class will be building on material constantly. For physical strength building and to get the most out of your choreography, consistency in class is important. By registering, you are guaranteed a spot in your class, build on your technique and are a part of a growing group. Drop-in dancers are allowed, space permitting, however, the class will cater to the work of registered dancers. Additionally, dancers who are registered receive discounts on the fees.

No problem! We want you to feel challenged but not overwhelmed; relaxed but not bored. If you or your teacher feels that you need a level adjustment, changing classes is no problem. Please note that after September we allow one free class change during the year. Numerous changes throughout the year are discouraged and require a $35 change fee to help with the admin involved.

Your fees are calculated based on an annual tuition. The MONTHLY fee is one instalment each month to keep the finances simple. You may choose to pay the annual tuition upfront if you wish.

Yes! Most classes will have a performance piece in our full-school show in June. Performing is an exciting part of your dance process. If you choose not to perform, you can enjoy the choreographic process with your class and opt out of the actual performance. You may also enjoy non-performing classes as we make our final show preparations. But it is FUN! Want to perform more? Choreography projects are offered throughout the year offering additional performance opportunities .

Discounts for registered dancers are based on a full-year commitment. If you know in September that you are leaving April 30, for example, please let us know at the time of your registration.

Yes! You may drop-in to any class space-permitting. If you choose to register, your fees will be adjusted to the number of classes remaining in the year.

We accept credit card payment via the website. Monthly Fee Payment by post-dated cheque or e-transfer for classes can also be arranged. For Drop-in we also accept Cash or E-transfer, space permitting.

Consistency is important. If you must miss a class, you may make up the class by signing up for a Drop In with your flex pass. Your Flex Pass has a maximum number of make-up classes on it based on your registration. Flex Passes are not transferable to another person and cannot be used to replace a month’s fees.

As a registered dancer, your spot is being held for you each week and you are required to cover that cost. Your flex pass can be used to attend additional classes.

No. The fees are based on an annual tuition of 38 weeks from September to June excluding the scheduled breaks. Christmas and Spring Break closures are weeks that you have not paid fees for. Any additional closures beyond these weeks (see calendar) will result in additional classes being added to your flex pass.

When you make the commitment to register we make the commitment to offering you a variety of classes to challenge and enrich your life. Should a scheduled class be cancelled due to low enrolment or other unavoidable circumstances we offer full refunds or to reschedule you to another class of your choice. As we also make our own commitments based on your registration, the deposit for June is non-refundable, based on your commitment to complete the year. Should the need to cancel arise during the year we require one week’s notice to stop payments. No refund on paid fees. Cancellation effective as of last month paid.

June deposit is forfeit and non-refundable

No cancellations after March 24th.
