  • We offer a 50% refund for Summer Camps & ELEVATE Dace Intensives if requested by June 15th; no refunds after this date. Medical exemptions must be accompanied by a doctor’s note.

    See our Pricing for more information.

  • It is highly recommended that dancers try our Summer Camps before committing to a Full Season Class in the fall! It’s the perfect way to try out different styles, meet new friends, and get a feel for what our studio is all about.

  • If your unsure where your child lands in terms of dance experience, it is highly recommended to reach out to us before registering. Our ELEVATE Dance Intensives are just that - intensives! We suggest that your intermediate and advanced level dancer feels very confident in their level of dance experience to get the most out of their week.

  • Our class levels are designed to support each dancer based on their experience and training. It’s very common in dance for classes—especially at the beginner level—to include a wider range of ages, and this is a normal and positive part of the learning environment.

    We strongly recommend choosing the level that matches your child’s experience to set them up for success. With supportive instructors and a welcoming atmosphere, dancers naturally connect through shared goals and experiences.

  • We encourage all dancers that meet the required experience level to join, especially if you’re considering trying out for a competition team! Taking on our intensives is a great way to show us that you’re ready for something more.

  • While we do offer flexible scheduling options when possible, we only do so if we haven’t sold out of full day spots (which is rare).

    Feel free to send us an email, and we can make our best suggestions given your schedule and budget!
