Q. How old does my child need to be to start dance classes?

A. We start our dance program at age 3 with a 45 minute combination class of Ballet and Tap. 



Q. Is ballet class required to take other dance forms?

A. Ballet is only a requirement in order to take Pointe classes. However, ballet is the basis of all dance forms. We strongly encourage all dancers to participate in a weekly ballet class. This allows students to learn the technique required to reach their full potential as a dancer.



Q. Is there a required color for my child's dance attire?

A. No specific color is required. See our "Dress Code" page for detailed dress code information.

 

Q. Are there make-up classes?

A. Yes. Each dancer has the opportunity to make-up any missed classes due to illness or scheduling conflicts. A list is posted at each studio at the beginning of the year for all dancers to see alternate classes available.

​

Q. What is your snow day policy?

A. The studio does not go by school closings. A stormy New England morning can often turn into a sunny afternoon. A dated message will be on the studio answering machines no later than one hour prior to class time.

​

Q. When is your recital usually held?

A. Our annual performance is held in May at Leominster High School.

 

Q. How long is your recital?

A. Our annual performance is typically 2 hours and 15 minutes long. This is not your average dance recital! We do a theatrical performance filled with quality dances, upbeat music, and an entertaining script.
