During a normal Dance Season, we hold two beautiful performances during Winter and Spring at the beautiful Aratani Theatre Downtown.

Normally, our pricing would be inclusive and include not only your dancer’s class tuition, but also their costume and recital fees as well to make your life easier. Our families have always loved our Super Simple Pricing! This Season, while we are hopeful to be able to hold performances, we are not able to guarantee it, so our pricing will only cover weekly class tuition.
There may be a small costume fee for our Winter performance so your dancer can feel special for their performance. If we are able to return to the theatre for the Spring, there will be a performance package to cover your dancer’s beautiful costume and other performance fees.
As soon as we have confirmed a Spring performance is happening, we will communicate all performance information and fees. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Do you use a curriculum in your classes?
Our Miss Katie is a Certified Teacher in the AMERICAN BALLET THEATRE® National Training Curriculum in Pre-Primary through Level 5. This is incorporated into our ballet syllabus and is used in all of our programs.
Can my child take a class if they don’t meet the age requirement?
Our curriculum for each level is an accelerated year-long program that has been developed specifically for each age group. It is important to keep dancers in classes meant for their age group to keep them challenged without overwhelming them.
If your child is close to the required age, such as within a couple of weeks or so, contact us and we will discuss further and have your child come in for an introductory class. However, if they are more than a month or so too young for the class, we will recommend an alternative class more appropriate for their age and development.
Can I watch the class?
Only dancers are allowed into the studio and the lobby is closed during class. Our dancers have been progressing at such an accelerated pace without the distraction of parents in the waiting area. Students flourish in class where they have the best support to focus and engage with their teacher.
We hold Parent Observation Classes throughout the season where parents may come into the studio and watch their dancer in class!
The class I want to register for is full – what can I do?
First, check out our other classes to see if there is another time that you and your child can join us. Can’t come to another class? Join the waiting list! Sometimes families will switch to another class or we may be able to create a new class with enough interest. If you are on the list, you will be the next person in line if a spot or new class opens up. You can enroll online for the waiting list by clicking on the “Waitlist” link next to the class you want to enroll in.
We also open up registration to those on our email list before it’s open to the public, so joining the waitlist will ensure you get the option to register early for our next intake times, which are Summer and Fall.
Can my child try a class before we enroll?
Absolutely! We offer an introductory package so your dancer can experience our classes before you commit to the school year. We know your dancer will love it here, but intro classes are a great way for dancers, parents, and teachers to come together and find the right class for your child.

Can my child take a class if they don’t meet the age requirement?
Our curriculum for each class is specifically developed for that age group and is focused on progression. It is important to keep dancers in classes meant for their age group to keep them challenged without overwhelming them.
If your child is close to the required age, such as within a month or so, contact us and we will discuss further and have your child come in for an introductory class. However, if they are more than a month or so too young for the class, we will recommend an alternative class more appropriate for their age and development.
Do you use a curriculum in your classes?
Our Miss Katie is a Certified Teacher in the AMERICAN BALLET THEATRE® National Training Curriculum in Pre-Primary through Level 5. This is incorporated into our ballet syllabus and is used in all of our programs. Click on the individual programs below to learn more about each level.
Can I watch the class?
Due to COVID restrictions, only dancers are allowed into the studio. The only exception is for our Dance with Me class, which is a parent participation class, and only one adult/parent is allowed per child.
Our dancers have been progressing at such an accelerated pace without the distraction of parents in the waiting area. Students flourish in class where they have the best support to focus and engage with their teacher.
Once COVID restrictions allow, we will have very special Parent Observation Classes where parents may come into the studio and watch their dancer in class!
What should my child wear to class?
Click here to see our Dress Code. We do not require specific colors for each level at this time. While we don’t have a uniform, dancers do need to wear dancewear and the dance shoes outlined in our Dress Code. Wearing dancewear helps dancers feel ready for class and inspires them to try their best. Like other activities, you need to have the right equipment so you can move properly and the teacher can see body placement. This helps prevent bad habits which can potentially lead to injuries. Of course, we are more lenient with little ones, if they want to wear a huge tutu- go for it! We want them to feel special!

What will my dancer experience in their class?
All classes begin with a warm-up to prepare dancer’s bodies for the class and prevent injury. Younger dancers will learn age-appropriate technique in fun and engaging dances and activities which are full of imagination. Older dancers will focus on improving their strength, flexibility, technique, tricks, and of course, learn exciting routines!
In our Ballet classes, we use the AMERICAN BALLET THEATRE® National Training Curriculum. The program is designed with a strong emphasis on the stage of a child’s development and the all-around health of the dancer being the highest priority. This curriculum provides quality ballet training to dance students of all ages and skill levels, building strength, coordination, and artistry.
