How do I register
for classes?Go to
our page. Drop in during classes (check our
schedule page or phone 525.1000) to meet with the staff and take a look around. Choose
your classes, fill out the registration form, pay your fees and
you're in! If you're registering for intermediate or advanced
classes, you will need to arrange an audition with the director or
teacher to ensure that you're enrolled in the proper level of
study.

What kind of
shoes and clothing are required?Check out our Student
Information pages for a list of the types and colors of
dance shoes, leotards, tights and other apparel that are required
for each class.
Do I belong in a
beginning, intermediate or advanced class?Good question! Each dancer, each dance
school is different. The best way for us to place dancers in the
appropriate classes is for you to meet with the teacher. Since it's
both frustrating and can lead to injury to dance at a technical
level you're not prepared for, it's important for you and the rest
of the class that every dancer to be placed at the appropriate
level.
How old do you
have to be to enroll? How young?
We offer classes for dancers
age 3 through adult. There are special classes for the youngest
dancers in Ballet, Tap, Hip-Hop, Mexican Dance and Flamenco.
All other classes are open to all ages, although teacher approval is
required for advanced classes. Nobody is too old to dance! Many
classes include adult students and there are several classes just
for adults. Dancing is a great way to have fun and get a great
workout at the same time. We even have several "just for fun"
classes where students will not perform, so don't let a touch of
stage fright keep you from dancing.
The exceptions are salsa and
bellydancing, where students must be at least 15 years
old.
I'd like to join
one of your performing companies. What do I have to
do?We actually
have several dance companies: the Senior Company (13+) and Las
Americas (all ages), which includes Inspiracion Flamenca, a
performing company for our youngest students. Auditions are
held twice a year. All company members must audition each time. The
main requirements for the senior company are that you be skilled in
various dance forms -- ballet, tap, jazz, flamenco, Latin -- and
bring a professional attitude to your work. The Las Americas and
Inspiracion Flamenca dancers perform Flamenco and other Latin
dances. If you'd like to join either company, talk to a teacher
about auditioning.
