STUDIO PARKING 
 
 
Due to the number of families arriving and leaving at the same time, the parking lot can become very congested. If you are planning on staying during your child's class, please park behind the building, in front of the Dance Shop or in the side parking spots by our new dance studio. The rear center door will be open during classes. We suggest driving around back using the main entrance driveway, dropping off and then continuing around the west side of the building following the gravel drive to exit onto Route 80. Please do not park in front of Rosella's Apizza. The parking area in front of Rosella's should be used for drop offs and pick ups only. 
 
Please DO NOT ENTER THE UNPAVED NARROW DRIVE ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE BUILDING.  This is an exit only.  Please enter the parking lot in the large paved entrance.  From there you can drive around the back of the building and exit out the unpaved drive.
 
PLEASE SLOW DOWN IN THE PARKING LOT. THERE ARE MANY PEDESTRIANS CROSSING THROUGH THE LOT BETWEEN CLASSES.  
Try a New Class
T he Dance Corner invites all students to try a class free.  Not sure if you like Lyrical...try a class!  Any of our fall classes that are not full are available for free trials.  Please contact Miss Carrie by phone or email if you would like to try a new class this fall.

 

Tuition Payments
 
Monthly Tuition bills are due the first of each month. Make your payments conveniently and securely online by logging into our Customer Portal

Not sure how the Portal works?  
Just click here to watch short instructional video. It's an easy way to manage your account with us anytime from anywhere!
 
We accept credit and debit card payments online or you can pay directly from your bank account by e-check.
 

Customers can also opt for auto-pay and avoid the extra step of logging in to pay each month. Notify our office that you would like to be an auto-pay customer, enter your payment method into your account online and your account will be automatically charged on the 1st of each month.


 

You may also pay by cash or check in our dance shop (credit card payments are only accepted online).  Online payments are preferred.  A $25 service fee will be charged for all returned checks.


 

All customers were required to submit a credit/debit card or bank draft information at registration. If your account is not paid in full by the 15th of the month, this payment method will be charged for the balance due. If your payment is declined, a $10 late fee will be applied to your account. 
 
Payments can also be mailed to the studio or left in the "Check Box" in the main lobby waiting area, though paying through the Customer Portal is preferred.

WELCOME BACK!  All of us at The Dance Corner would like to extend a heartfelt welcome to all our new and returning students.

FOR PARENTS WHO STAY FOR CLASSES

Check out Studio 7!

We have been busy this month expanding our former dance shop and office space into a new eight hundred and sixty square foot dance studio.  We are so excited about this new studio and can't wait for everyone to start dancing in it!
 
Since half of this new studio is located in Unit 7 of the building we decided to call it Studio 7.  

A listing of studio assignments for all classes will be sent out before 9/12.
Visit The Broadway Dance Center!
The Dance Corner is going on their annual trip to the BDC on Sunday, September 27th. We would love all of the Dance Corner students age of 13 and up to think about joining us. The dancers will take class with the pros and have a challenging yet fun experience. Email Miss Nicole for more information.
Acrobatics Lessons
Naja Muller, our fantastic acrobatics instructor also offers private lesson and private group lessons at the studio.
