Are guests allowed into the studio while classes are in session?

Typically, guests are not allowed into the studios. Our studio offers viewing options into each studio for you to observe your child during instruction. If needed, we will do what is necessary to make each parent and child feel comfortable in our environment on a case by case basis.

Due to liability and class management, only enrolled students may participate in classes. If a friend or sibling wants to join class, they must be enrolled and liability waivers must be signed online.

What if my child did not do well in their first class? Should they continue?

Please do NOT be discouraged if your child did not have a "perfect" first class, where they were completely independent, followed every direction and executed all the exercises given with flawless ease. This is usually NOT the case. Students need time to become accustomed to their teacher, peers, environment and class structure. Please remember to allow them space to grow.
