Brand New to Dance Lessons?Let us help answer some of our most frequently asked questions
Q: What are your prices?Regular dance classes start at just $44 per month for one class per week.Q: Where are you located?We are located on the northeast corner of Mill (Lilley) and Ann Arbor Trail, just east of downtown Plymouth. Our dance studio is easily accessible from Livonia, Northville and Canton.
Q: Why does my child have to conform to a specific dress code?For proper dance education, it is important that all students dress in the appropriate attire for each specific class. Ballet in particular involves very detailed body movements and placement. Having all students dressed to a standard makes it possible for the instructor to more easily notice incorrect positions and movements to make the appropriate corrections before any "bad habits" are formed.
Q: What are your typical class sizes?We limit the size of all of our classes based on the age and ability of the students to insure that each student receives the highest quality of dance education. Our smaller class sizes make sure that no fundamental concepts are missed. Combo 1 and Combo 2 classes (ages 2-5) are limited to 10 students per class and our Level 1 and Level 2 classes (ages 6-9) are limited 10 students per class. Most Combo 1, Combo 2, Level 1 and Level 2 also have a teacher's assistant each week. All other recital and technique classes are limited to 14 students per class.
Q: Do you have a recital?Yes, we offer a recital in June each year. Our recitals are stress-free and FUN!
Q: Are there any additional costs?Each student is required to purchase a costume for the recital which costs $65/class.
Q: Can I take pictures during the recital?No, picture taking during the production is not only discourteous to other audience members, it is very distracting and dangerous to the performers on stage. Picture and video taking is allowed during the full dress rehearsal prior to the recital. A professional videographer will have DVDs of the entire performance for sale.
Q: Are you closed for vacations or during holidays?We typically follow the Plymouth-Canton schedule. A list of all important dates, including studio closures are provided for each student in September. All important upcoming dates are also listed on our website home page.
Q: Do I pay the same amount per month even when there are fewer classes?Yes. For our fall season we charge the same tuition over 10 equal monthly installments September – June. The calendar in each month will vary depending upon which day you have your class with classes meeting from 2 to 5 times each month. Every class will meet 35 times over the ten months.
Q: How old does my child need to be to take dance classes?Students can start as young as 2 1/2 in our Combo 1 class.
Q: Do I have to sign a contract?No, tuition is paid on a month-to-month basis. At the time of registration if you opt for automatic monthly payments from your debit card or credit card we do require notice by the 25th of the previous month to avoid being charged for the upcoming month’s tuition.
Q: What dance styles do you teach?Our current class schedule includes Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Pointe, Hip Hop, Lyrical, Modern, Pom, Cheer, Preschool Combo, Yoga, Pilates, Ballroom, Cecchetti and Adult classes.
