Frequently Asked Questions
Can’t find what you’re looking for? Call (513) 923-2356 or email office@emerge-dance.com.
What age can my child start?
Our Parent & Me class starts at 18 months and Tiny Tots at age 2. Preschool ballet & tap classes are grouped by age from 3 to 6, and recreational classes start at age 6.
Can I watch my dancer’s class?
Every studio room has a viewing monitor in the lobby, so you can watch without distracting the class. Teachers also invite parents into the room at select times during the season.
How much does it cost?
Tuition is billed monthly, plus a $10 registration fee per session. Dancers taking multiple classes and families with more than one dancer may receive a 20% discount. See Tuition & Fees for details.
Can we join in the middle of the year?
Yes. Toddler classes run in three sessions and dancers can join any time. Preschool and recreational classes have open registration periods, and you only pay for the classes you attend.
What should my dancer wear?
Each class has its own shoes and attire. See our Dress Code, or stop by the front desk. We carry shoes and dancewear.
What’s the difference between classes and teams?
Recreational classes focus on learning and having fun, with two shows a year. Our dance teams add competition routines, more training and more commitment.
What happens if we miss a class?
Report the absence online. You can attend a make-up class of the same type and age level in August–October and January–February; arrange it with the front desk first. We don’t offer refunds for missed classes.
How do I withdraw?
We need 15 days’ written notice, submitted on our withdrawal form. You’re responsible for payment until we receive it.
Do you close for bad weather?
Morning classes follow Northwest School District closings and delays. Evening classes are decided by 2 p.m. Check Facebook, this website and your email.
Are costumes included?
Dancers in our shows are automatically enrolled in the performance package, which covers costumes and more in small monthly payments. See Tuition & Fees.
Do you host birthday parties?
Yes! Themed dance parties at our White Oak studio. See Birthday Parties.
