2020-2021
Fall dance season Information
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 health crisis, we will be having smaller in-studio classes and also continuing to offer virtual classes (ZOOM) for all new and returning students. Please know our policies and procedures can, and likely will, change as we continue on throughout the season. Any changes will be clearly written, posted here, and emailed to all dancers and families.
Before coming to classes, please be sure to read and review our COVID-19 Safety Policies & Procedures and watch our short video (in the link below.) Additionally, we need all parents to review/sign and submit our “Dancers Code of of Conduct”, which outlines all aspects of the re-opening policies and procedures. This information can be found within the link below.
CSDA COVID-19 Safety Plan & Procedures
What’s New And What To Expect This Fall:
1. We are open for classes! All classes listed on the 2020-2021 schedule will be available for dancers to take in-studio (space is limited). Dance classes begin on Monday, September 14.
2. The majority of our 2020-2021 dance classes will also be available to take virtually (on ZOOM).
o When registering, there will be two sessions listed for each class. One session will be for IN-STUDIO classes and the other will be for VIRTUAL (ZOOM) classes. Please register your dancer for whichever style of dance class works best for you and your family.
3. Everyone (dancers, faculty, parents etc.) will be required to wear a face mask while at the studio. This includes having dancers wear masks during class. We understand that this will be a change for some dancers, but we want to keep everyone safe, healthy and continuing to dance. Masks will allow us to move around more during class and also allow us to have slightly larger class sizes.
4. Only two of our studios will be in use (for the time being) to be able to properly distance our dancers.
5. Our studio will be gridded with tape to ensure dancers remain as spaced apart as possible.
6. We will be having smaller classes sizes and limiting the number of dancers in each in-studio class:
o All classes will have a limit of 12 dancers per class (studio). Some classes will have even smaller classes due to style/age.
o All ACRO classes will be strictly limited to 8 per class. Each dancer will be provided with their own acro mat to use during class.
o All Kiddance/AcroDance Preschool classes will be limited to 6 dancers per class.
ZOOM classes for dancers in our preschool program (ages 3-4) will have a separate schedule. These sessions will be released shortly.
All preschool classes (ages 3-4), including virtual classes, will be required to purchase a “prop box” that they will use all year. This will be your dancer’s individual box with wands, bean bags, scarfs, etc. Only your dancer will use the props in their box.
7. When possible, we ask that all dancers come to class dressed for dance. We understand that some dancers may need to change for class at the studio. Please note, only one bathroom, per studio, will be available for changing before class. After each use, the bathroom will need to be cleaned and disinfected which may cause time delays.
8. Our waiting room will not have any chairs, benches or seating. We ask that when possible, parents wait in their cars or return after class to pick-up their dancers. We understand that younger dancers (3-7) may need a parent to stay while they are in class. We ask that only one parent/guardian or relative stay in the waiting room for each student.
9. This year, our classes have 5-minute transition times allotted at the end of each class. This is to allow safe transition times for dancers entering and exiting classes, socially distanced water breaks, and any bathroom time needed.
10. There will be blocks of time where the studio will be closed for cleaning. Larger cleaning blocks are allotted in the schedule, where the studios will be closed, for a more thorough cleaning at least 1-2 times per day.
11. Dance shoes will be required for all classes this year. This includes acro, contemporary and modern classes. We suggest indoor sneakers for acro classes and jazz shoes for lyrical, contemporary and modern classes.
12. We will not be having ACRO placement classes for our returning dancers this season. Dancers in levels 2 and up will be emailed their placements before registration day (August 20). Dancers have been placed in the levels by the Acro Director/Instructors. Instructors will asses all dancers in each class for one month and then can move them up, or keep them in their current level.
13. Our Fall Registration opens on Tuesday, August 20
14. We have a new, online appointment system, that will allow dancers and families to come in - one family at a time - to check out our space, help with registration, size for dance shoes, and familiarize themselves with our new policies and procedures. If you would like to schedule an appointment please visit us here ::

Registration Fee: All dancers are required to pay a one-time, $25 registration fee upon enrolling for classes. Each additional sibling is an additional $10, per dancer.

Registration fees are non-refundable.
If you are a new student: please use our Online Registration Form to register for classes.

Please be very careful in your selection of classes. Our classes are clearly labeled with IN-STUDIO or VIRTUAL (ZOOM) classes. Our in-studio classes are limited in size. If you do not see the class you are registering for on the Portal, it is likely full. Waitlists will be available for all classes that reach maximum capacity. If a spot opens up in the class we will notify you directly, via email.
Once you have registered for classes, and have paid the registration fee, we will be emailing you a formal confirmation of your classes before the first day of class. This email confirmation will include your class enrollment schedule and monthly tuition price.
If you need to drop a class: Our Parent Portal only allows you to add classes. If you need to drop a class, please email us as soon as possible so we may remove you from the roster.
Tuition & Pricing
Our tuition is determined by the total amount of hours your dancer is registered for, per week. Your tuition is one price - per month - determined by the number of hours you dance. The monthly price is then then broken down and billed in 8 equal monthly payments: September, October, November, December, January, February, March and April. In-studio and virtual classes are the same cost per month. Please email us for our pricing list.

Registration Fees & Tuition Payments: Your registration fee must be paid at the time of enrolling for classes. If your registration fee is not paid, your spot will not be held in the class until it has been processed.
Online payments are available and highly encouraged for the registration fee and monthly tuition payments. Each family has access to their own online portal, the “Parent Portal,” that can be used to update contact information, pay tuition, and enroll in classes.
Tuition is due on the first lesson of every month. Our studio policy is that all families are required to have a credit card on file at the studio. Your credit card will only be charged if tuition, and any applicable studio fees, are not paid by the 15th of the month. If your tuition/fees have not been paid by the 15th of the month, your credit card will automatically be charged for the full amount owed on the 16th of the month. If your credit card is declined for any reason, you will receive a $10 declined card fee. In addition, we must receive an updated card within 48 hours or an additional $25 late fee will be added to your account. We offer online tuition and auto-pay options for all of our families. If you are unable to make payments online for any reason, please email us and we can schedule a time for you to come in and pay with cash, a check or make a payment over the phone. We accept Visa, Mastercard or Discover. If you would like to enroll in auto-pay, please submit this form to the studio :: 2020 Auto-Pay Form
New Students: If it is your first time logging in to your Parent Portal, your username is your email address that you have on file with us. After entering your email as your username, click the "reset password" button and it will email you a temporary password to use the first time you login. If you have already registered for classes using the online registration form, your dancers current schedule will automatically appear in your Portal.
If you would like to become an auto-pay member, which means that your tuition will be automatically charged on the 5th of every month, please fill out the form by October 1. All families are required to resubmit their auto-pay form year-to-year. Auto-pay does not roll over.
