A Registration fee of $10.00 plus HST will be charged once annually at the beginning of the school year. This Fee is Non-Refundable.

Dance Fees are charged at $10.50 per class plus HST. Social Dance fees for couples (spouse or significant other) are charged at $15.50 per couple per class plus HST. Students who take more than one class, or students who have a sibling/s also taking classes, will receive a $2.00 per class discount for each extra class for which they register (up to 3 classes). This discount does not apply to couples. However, each student must pay the registration fee.

Fees are due at the beginning of each term. The dance year consists of 3 eight-week terms and 1 twelve-week term. A late fee will be charged if fees are not paid 3 weeks after billing date. The late fee will be $2.00 per day until fees are paid in full. All Fees may be paid by cash, cheque, VISA, MasterCard or debit.

All fees are non-refundable. If due to medical circumstances a student is required to withdraw from training, and if a valid medical note is provided, she/he will receive school credit for the number of weeks that she/he was unable to attend. No refunds or credits will be provided for missed classes or for classes that were canceled due to inclement weather. Students may come to another class in another time slot to make up for this lost time. Before doing so, arrangements must be made with the dance teacher.

Dress Code

It is very important that all students wear proper clothing and footwear to class. This is essential in order for the dance teacher to observe body form, to maintain professionalism and to ensure that improper clothing does not limit mobility.

The following must be observed for all dance disciplines:

Pink tights, a pink or black body suit and ballet slippers are required. Boys may wear black jogging pants and white t-shirt.

Jazz / Latin Jazz

Stretch pants, body suits, unitards, t- shirts, tank tops, shorts are all acceptable or you may wear tights and bodysuit. Students must wear jazz or ballet shoes.

Dance Recital

Close to the end of the dance school year, a dance recital will be held at the Arts and Culture Centre. This is a very exciting event for the students; they work very hard to make it a success. It is an excellent opportunity to showcase their achievements over the past year while at the same time, enhancing their performance skills, building their self esteem and their overall confidence.
