Fundraiser Class! í ¼í¼ This fun and unique class will feature a combined offering of several of Elizebethâs movement passions and embodied practices. nnWe will begin on the floor with a somatic warm-up based on Bartenieff Fundamentals (developmental patterns of connectivity), move into ballet barre work to align, strengthen and lengthen your whole body, and class will culminate with grounded and fluid contemporary phrases. nnBe prepared for a joyfully balanced experience of rolling around on the floor, kicking your legs to the sky, weight-shifting, spiraling, gesturing, improvising and embodying both lightness and strength. nnAppropriate for beginning/intermediate level dancers.nnThis class is offered as Pay-What-You-Can.

FAQs

Which Level of classes should I choose?

If your child's teacher has not approached you about moving them to a new level, we ask that you enroll in an age appropriate class in the same level as last year. Please note that we have students ranging from 3-18 years old and only 6 class levels, so all dancers may remain in each level for multiple years in a row.

How do tuition payments work?

All tuition and fees are to be done via AutoPay. When you set up your account, you will need to add an active credit or debit card to your account for us to keep on file. If you DO NOT have a card on file your student is not yet fully enrolled is may be bumped from the class if it fills up.

What happens if a class is full and my student is placed on a waitlist?

Don't panic! There's a lot of movement between classes at the beginning of the season and the majority of people on waitlists end up getting into the class they want. If your child is on a waitlist they will automatically be moved up the queue as people drop or move classes. Once a spot has opened up you will receive an email notification. Please reply within 48 hours to confirm your child's spot in the class, at which time we will run tuition and move your student onto the roster. If we don't receive a reply within 48 hours, the spot will go to the next student on the waitlist. Please do not bring your child to a class for which they are waitlisted--they are already at maximum capacity and as such your child won't be able to participate.

Where can I buy Dancewear?

The easiest way to get dress code essentials is to purchase them directly from our office or through our website for studio pickup. We have competitive pricing and pass our studio discount on to you. If we are temporarily out of your size or style, we recommend purchasing online at Discountdance.com. They have a wide selection and excellent costumer service.

Other questions that you might have are answered on the FAQ page of our website.
