My child has Dance Tricks/Turns experience, can they take this class??

As this class requires a slightly elevated skill level from our performers, they are required to have instructor approval to enroll in the class. For new incoming students, performers who have taken Dance Tricks/Turns at other studios or schools may be ready for a higher level.

If your child has completed at least one year of outside training in this discipline, please email the studio at stagelightarts@gmail.com to schedule this assessment with one of our qualified instructors.

Can my child enroll in a class that is intended for an age group slightly older than theirs?

We typically allow for a standard six-month grace period surrounding the specified age limits. It is advisable to initially enroll her in a class appropriate for her current age group, especially for the first half of the season.

If the grace period exceeds six months beyond the age limits, or if the instructor advises considering a different age group, instructor approval may be required.

There are so many classes my child wants to try, can we do a trial for as many classes as we want?

We only offer a one-time free trial per student. Our one-time free trial is available only during our open enrollment periods. Trial classes are subject to availability and do not guarantee a spot in the class.
However, we offer drop-in passes that you can purchase through the Customer Portal to try out as many classes as you’d like.
