Do Parents Stay During Class?

We encourage families to make themselves comfortable in our welcoming waiting area while class is in session. Our observation windows allow you to watch your dancer without entering the classroom, helping children build confidence and independence while still feeling supported. For our youngest dancers, parents may be invited into the classroom during the first few weeks if needed. As your child becomes more comfortable, we'll gently encourage independence at a pace that's right for them. Our goal is for every dancer to feel confident walking into class with a smile!

I have other Children can they come with me?

Absolutely! Brothers and sisters are always welcome to accompany your family to the studio. We offer a comfortable waiting area with books, puzzles, and quiet activities to help keep little ones entertained while classes are in session. For everyone's safety and to minimize distractions, we ask that children remain with their parent or guardian while in the waiting area and avoid entering the dance rooms unless they are participating in class. Thank you for helping us create a welcoming environment for all of our dance families.

How Is Tuition Paid?

Tuition is conveniently billed monthly with the option of automatic payment, making it easy for families to budget while reserving your dancer's place in class. Monthly tuition remains the same throughout the dance season, providing consistent payments regardless of the number of classes in a particular month. Many of our families choose the La Petite Membership, which combines monthly tuition with recital participation and additional member benefits—all in one simple monthly payment with no surprise recital invoices.

Can I Withdraw At Any Time?

Yes. We understand that family schedules and activities can change throughout the year. If you need to withdraw from a class, simply notify us before your next monthly tuition payment is processed.
