Our Programs
Our programs are set up on a two semester basis.
Classes beginning in the fall semester continue through the spring. As
needed, new classes are formed in the spring to accommodate growth.
Please note that enrollment in courses is closed after four weeks of
instruction as we have found it to be unfair to the class and the
would-be-new-student to try and accommodate the late enrolling student.
Our list of courses is not fixed. It
varies to accommodate our enrolled students. We are happy to create
new classes when a group of similar students wish to enroll together to
pursue common interest. An example of this is our Family Tap Class,
suggested by one of our parents as a way to interest her sons in tap
instruction. We had not done such a class before; but, we are now
happy to include it in our offerings.
To better utilize our space and meet community
needs, studio space is made available to select dance and exercise programs.
