FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We offer a complimentary trial class for new dancers. For any class after the trial, it is a $25 drop in charge that will be applied towards the class chosen for registration.
 
If your child does not have dance attire for their trial class, they should wear comfortable clothing like leggings and a t-shirt. Barefoot, socks with grips, or clean soled sneakers for hip hop recommended.
While we do have a lobby/waiting aream, at the current time we have a drop and go policy in place. We ask all families for dancers ages 2.5-5 to observe class via a Zoom link. For the best dance education for our dancers, we try to keep the lobby clear and quiet as possible! We do offer parents observation day (In Person or Via Zoom TBA!)

Class sizes generally depend on the age of the dancer and classroom they are in. Our classes typically range 5-12 children per class for our 2.5-5 year old program with an instructor and assistant in each classroom and 6-15 students per class for our 6+ program.

Tuition fees differ by class and program. Please refer to the tuition tab on our website. Simply log in to your personal online DDA account to make a payment, contact the studio for assistance, make payment at the front desk, or set up online auto pay.

Yes! Many classes are full so by notifying us in advance it gives another child the opportunity to schedule in a make up class. We highly encourage all dancers to schedule a make up class during the current school year. It is essential that classes are attended consistently. If students frequently miss classes, it is difficult for them to catch up on what they may have missed and it is also difficult for other students to work around those who are missing. Dancing is a team sport like any other.

Yes, proper attire is important to start a good attitude toward dance class discipline and allow the instructor to view and correct body placement. Please have your child(s) wear their required dance attire. Hair should be up and away from their face in order to participate. Please refer to our dress code tab under the “classes” tab on our navigation menu on our website.
