All students under the age of 5 are required to have a parent/guardian in the viewing area during class. Parents of older students may stay in the viewing area during class or drop off their students and return to pick them up at the end of class.

We understand leaving our little ones can be difficult for both parent and child. In years of teaching dance, our instructors have found that most kids concentrate and listen better when a parent/guardian isn’t in their line of sight. To help with this process we have cameras in our dance rooms and a closed circuit TV in our waiting area where you can watch your little one dance and grow!
