All dancers must have proper dance attire, including shoes recommended by her instructor and a bottle of water, marked with your dancers’ name.

Please arrive dressed for dance and in enough time to change your shoes, use the restroom and pull back any loose hair. We recommend not wearing your dance shoes outside of the studio.

• If your daughter is Pre-K-2^nd grade, we recommend our Ballet/Jazz combo class.
• If your daughter is 3^rd-5^th grade, we will review her experience with dance.
• If your daughter has never danced before, we always a solid foundation found in a ballet/jazz combo class. We also encourage trying another class like hip hop, lyrical, or tap.
• If your daughter has danced before, we will assess her technical skills to determine if she is ready for Ballet I. If your daughter is in Middle School or older, we will assess her and place her in the proper classes that best fit her goals.
