Adult Division Summer Schedule!

Ongoing Adult Division classes are offered year-round on a schedule designed to accommodate the busy lifestyle of working professionals. Dancers may register at any point during the school year and registered dancers may attend as many classes as they wish, paying for classes only when they attend by purchasing single classes or a mutli-class card.

 The 2013 Adult Open Division Summer Schedule is now available through June, 1st. The rest of the summer schedule is coming soon!

Primary Petite Finale, this Saturday, 5/11!

Primary Petite Finale

We’re pleased with the progress of our youngest students and look forward to an exciting finale of our school year with their favorite excerpts from class at our Primary Petite Finale! Please note that all regularly scheduled classes Monday-Friday will take place. However, Saturday classes will be replaced by the Finale Performance.

Performances are split; you only need to stay for your dancer’s scheduled performance session, which should last from 45 minutes to an hour.

Handbook Highlight:

Student Evaluation

In addition to comments given by each student’s instructor(s), all students enrolled in the Elementary, Intermediate and Advanced levels will be formally evaluated by the School Director to determine student advancements for the next school-year. The evaluation feedback provides clear goals for our students as they develop their technique and love of dance. Student Evaluations are Monday, April 15th through Saturday, April 27th. Click here for the 2013 Student Evaluation Week Schedule.

Primary Division students (Creative Movement, Pre-Ballet and Beginning Ballet) will also receive a placement letter shortly after the end of the school year. Placement is based on the students’ age and ability as evaluated by their instructor.

Petite Finale

The Petite Finale is a showcase of our youngest students’ achievements. This informal showing gives our students a chance to dress up and dance, allowing them to share what they have learned throughout the year without the stress and anxiety of a traditional “recital”. Three presentations will be made on the final day of the school year, May 11th, at 11:00 am, 1:00 pm and 4:00 pm. Please check the 2013 Primary Demonstration Day Schedule to learn your performance time. Tickets for all three performances are on sale now!
