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.

Can my dancer take more than one class?

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.
