Can I observe dance class each week?
For the first two weeks of classes, parents/guardians are welcome to bring their dancers directly to their 2nd or 3rd floor classes. After the first two weeks, we do not allow parents in the studios on a weekly basis as it distracts the students from class. In October, we have an Insight Week where we will send home videos of classes. In December, we have Observation Week where friends and families can come to the studio to watch class.
