FAQ Guide
New to Our Studio?
Start Here
Choosing a program can feel overwhelming at first, especially when you want things to go smoothly from day one. Here are five quick FAQs with clear next steps so you can pick a class and move forward with confidence.
How does your recreational program work for beginners?
If you’re just getting started, recreational classes are the easiest entry point because they’re paced for the group and designed to feel welcoming. Go to Age Groups first, then use the Schedule & Calendar to select a class time that fits your schedule.
Do we have to join the competitive program?
You don’t need to be competitive to belong here. Recreational training is a great path on its own. Start recreational now, and if your dancer wants more challenges later, you can explore the competitive options then.
What’s the time commitment for competitive options?
The required commitment varies based on the specific track. The Competitive Team requires approximately 15 hours per week. The Part-Time Competitive track has a maximum of 6 hours per week (typically closer to 5) and includes local competitions. Review the competitive details, and then feel free to contact us with any questions about auditions.
Do you offer shorter sessions, or is everything year-long?
If you want something more flexible, you can choose 10-week sessions offered three times a year. Check the Schedule & Calendar to see what’s currently running, then pick the session that fits your timing.
Where do we park when we arrive?
Parking is available in the lot right outside the entrance, so you can arrive without the stress. Before your first visit, pull up the directions on the Contact/Maps page so you know exactly where to go.
