What are foundational Jazz classes and how are they different from a jazz class?
All dancers in the Foundational Jazz program must be taking classes in Ballet. Foundational Jazz classes are created to allow our dancers to deepen their confidence and skills by training at a more technical level.
Will my child be in a class with children of the same age?
Though we try to accommodate your age requests, we feel that having each child in the ability appropriate class is our paramount consideration. We always want your child to be in the level where he or she will have the best learning experience.
Do I need to let the studio know if my child will be absent?
Yes, please!! We would appreciate a phone call or log it in your parent portal on our Panorama App.
When can I become a student teacher?
Students are asked to become assistants by studying all subjects for several years. Good attendance in your classes is a must! Please let us know if you are interested in becoming a student teacher.
