Getting Started
When do classes start?
The dance year starts the Monday after Labour Day. This year, classes start on Monday, September 9th. The studio is closed on most Statutory Holidays (consult calendar).
How long is the dance season?
Classes run from September to May, ending with year-end showcases at the end of May.
Do all students participate in the year-end shows?
All choreography students, minis, recreational, and competitive, take part in the year-end shows unless they request not to. Adult participation in the year end recitals is completely optional.
What do I owe to start?
Each student’s $21 non-refundable registration and insurance fee (includes GST) is due at the time of registration, as well as the first month’s tuition installment. All fees and payment schedules are on our Schedule & Fees page.
How do I pay?
Payments are made via online auto-payments, which we set up during the registration process. Inquire at the studio about other payment options. There is a $10.00 fee for any payments received after the 5th of the month.
What other costs will I incur?
Costume deposits ($60 per costume for child-size costumes and $85 per costume for adult-size costumes) are due November 1. With many students in two or more dances, hundreds of costumes are ordered for competitions and the year-end shows, so they need to be ordered months ahead of time. The remaining costume fee balances, if any, are due prior to picture day in May, when students receive their costumes.
A Year-End Package Fee (includes 2 showcase tickets, 1 professional photo, and a showcase video) and any extra tickets you want to buy for the Year-End Showcases are additional costs.
