Fall classes at Let's Dance begin September 6th. We offer a wide range of classes from the beginner to the advanced. Classes are 30, 50, 60, & 75 minutes long. Let's Dance offers combination, Ballet, Pointe, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Lyrical, Tap and Modern Classes. Classes meet once a week. Children should enter and exit through the back door, and be dressed and ready to dance. Children's names should be clearly written on their shoes and all clothing. This prevents confusion when it's time to change shoes or when it's time to leave at the end of class. We cannot be responsible for lost items. It is very important that your child be brought on time and picked up on time so that we can keep classes flowing smoothly. No food, drink, candy, or chewing gum in the building, please.

Parents will have the opportunity to watch their children dance since our classrooms have one-way glass observation windows.

Recitals - Winter and Spring

Parents are invited to our holiday classroom celebrations December 12th - 17th. T-shirts to this event are $12.00. Children will only need one (1) T-shirt regardless of the number of classes they take.

Our end-of-the-year performance is the spring recital in May.

Students need to purchase a $35 costume for their class. Student's in multiple classes will need to purchase a separate costume for each class. Sudents may keep this costume. *This does not apply to competitive teams - costumes for these students are handled separately.
