Youth Program
Winter/Spring 2012 Schedule

Our Winter/Spring semester begins January 3, 2012 and ends June 5, 2012. Our Student Showcase is Tuesday, June 5th at 7:30 pm.

Students learn and improve faster when they dance more than once per week. We strongly recommend at least 2 classes per week. To help make this affordable, we offer increasing discounts as the number of classes increases:

  • 1 class per week = $382
  • 2 classes/week = $690
  • 3 classes/week = $954
  • 4 classes/week = $1144

Tuition includes 2 tickets to our Student Showcase on June 5, 2012. 

Tuition and fees are non-refundable. There are no credits or refunds for missed classes. Students may take make-up classes within the Youth Program schedule. Make-ups must be taken during the Winter/Spring semester, and will not be carried over to another semester. Students must register for the entire semester, no drop-in classes are available for youth. During the first week of class, a sample class may be taken for a drop-in fee of $17 which can then be applied toward tuition when the student registers. Classes are subject to cancellation if fewer than six students are registered for the semester.
