What if my child signs up for ballet - can she switch to a different class if she doesn't like the ballet class?.
I suggest this be done within the first two months of school, so when the student switches classes, she/he will not be too far behind.
No, however a commitment will need to be made by December when costumes are ordered for our annual recital.
Parents will have the opportunity to view classes from September through December.
We have cameras in our dance room and you may observe on two large television screens while sitting comfortably in our waiting area.
