Covid Waiver Form

* All students must have a signed Covid-Waiver Form before participating in classes. If you have not yet signed a waiver, you may do so at the front desk.

Extended Closures

*If The Studio is forced to close for an extended period of time and unable to resume classes in a timely manner, our plan is to immediately go to Zoom classes. We will follow our regular schedule and continue our dance classes.

Selection for The Studio’s Performing Company

The Studio students are continually observed throughout the year. The Studio’s Performing Company dancers are selected from those children who demonstrate ability and potential in all dance forms. Children who display an enthusiastic and positive attitude and demonstrate their ability to cooperate with instructors and fellow dancers are those chosen for consideration.

Recital

An annual 2-day recital will be held in May. Each performance will last approximately 2 ½ hours for your enjoyment. All students are encouraged to participate in as many dances as classes taken AND in all performances. A recital is an important culmination of months of training and every dancer needs the excitement and pride of having a moment in the spotlight. This is also an opportunity for The Studio’s Performing Company to entertain you.
