2022-2023 SEASON REGISTRATION

Thank you for your interest in our studio! We can’t wait to start our 21st season!

A parent or guardian will have to sign our new waiver and policies form (available below) before your dancer’s first class.

***Please be prepared for class***

We ask that you complete a health/symptom check at home before each class. Please do not send your child to class with any symptoms. Masks are not required at the studio at this time.

All payments MUST be made before the time of the class via cash, check or Venmo. You can also set up the payment through your bank via online banking. We do not see any of your banking info, they just mail out a check to us. You can also just mail us a check yourself. We cannot allow any dancer to take class without payment.

One parent/guardian is welcome to enter the studio with their dancer and wait in our waiting area. All parents/guardians MUST come into the studio to pick up and drop off their dancer. We will no longer be sending students downstairs and the office will be relocated to upstairs, inside the studio. Please let your dancer know about this. We will be returning to normal and will not have a staff member downstairs.

We want to be sure that our class sizes do not exceed recommendations. Please use the registration form below to verify which classes your dancer will be taking. This is a commitment for the entire season through our Annual Recital in June. Classes that do not have enough registrations/participants are subject to being cancelled or shortened to a ½ hour class

Dress Code

  • All female dancers should wear a bodysuit and footless or stirrup tights. They may also wear form fitting leggings, shorts and sports bras. If your dancer’s tights have feet, please cut the tip of the tights and pull off of the foot and place around dancer’s ankles. This is for the safety of your dancer. All Male dancers should wear gym type shorts and a shirt All hair should be tied back and out of the dancer’s face. Some classes require shoes. Please do not buy any shoes without speaking to someone from our staff. We recommend writing your dancer’s name somewhere in the inside of the shoe in case they are left behind. Tap – Any Black Tap Shoes (All Star dancers see Katie) Ballet – Ordered through us at the desk (Usually $20-$30) Hip Hop – Black and White combination Sneaker. Sneakers MUST not be worn outside. Dancers do not need sneakers right away but will need them for all events (All Star Dancers see Kelly) No oils or colored gels in your dancer’s hair. Also make sure your dancer’s hair is not wet. All of these conditions can make the floor and Acro mats slippery and cause a hazard.
