When can my dancer join?
Open registration for recreational classes runs June–October and January–March. Our curriculum lets dancers join any time during those windows.

Yes. Many dancers combine a combo class with hip hop or acro. Dancers taking multiple classes may receive a 20% discount.
What’s the difference between recreational and team?
Recreational classes are about learning and having fun, with two shows a year. Our dance teams add competition routines, more training and more commitment.
