Questions

Elementary Dance FAQ

Which level is right for my child, Mini or Jr?

Mini is for ages 5–7 and Jr is for ages 8–10. Instructors may adjust placement based on experience, so a dancer with a few years of training might move up sooner.

Can my child take more than one class?

Yes, and many do. Mini and Jr combo classes cover three styles in one, and adding a second style like acro or hip hop costs less per class with our multi-class tuition.

What do Mini and Jr dancers wear?

Please wear any combination of form-fitting dance attire, such as leotards, tights, tutus, skirts, fitted shorts, leggings, or fitted T-shirts. Shoes are included in your tuition for most classes and will be ordered at the start of the season. Please see our dress code for more details.

Is there a team for this age?

Yes. Our Spotlight (ages 6–8) and Limelight (ages 8–10) competition teams are for this age, with placement through summer training.
