Spring 2024 Registration Open Nov. 1!

Our Spring Semester runs for 17 weeks between January 3 - May 12, with no classes the weeks of Spring Break.

Safety First: The safety of our students, instructors, staff, families, and community is our top priority. Every decision is made with care and intention to keep us all safe and dancing. We will hold classes in person with as many students as we can safely have in a studio at a time, keeping distances according to current guidelines.

Tuition: All tuition is for one semester - 17 weeks of classes. Check the School Year Calendar for dates.

•Please Note: The Spring Semester is 4 weeks longer than the fall semester and your tuition will reflect this difference.

Upon registration, you have the option to select from three payment options: paid in full, 5th, or 25th. Should you select paid in full, your payment will be processed in full on the next processing day. If a day of the month was selected, your total balance will divided into four equal parts. Each payment will be drafted on your selected date beginning in the month of January.
