INFORMATION & CORRESPONDENCE
To best serve you and ensure that all of our students and their families receive the correct information in a timely fashion, we communicate through email, monthly newsletters and post all events and information on our website. Newsletters are also posted on our website under " NEWS".
 
If you have any questions or concerns, we ask that you communicate with our front desk staff, email [email protected] or call 978 685 5533. If you need to speak with your child's teacher, we ask that you visit the front desk to schedule an appointment during their office hours.
CREDIT / DEBIT CARD AUTHORIZATION
Save Time & Avoid Lines - Automatic Bill Pay
If you haven't already, but would like to set up automatic bill pay for dance tuition with your credit / debit card, please visit the front desk to fill out the appropriate information and paperwork. 
PARKING LOT TRAFFIC PATTERN
Follow the One Way Arrows & Proceed with Caution
The studio parking lot is a ONE-WAY traffic pattern which is clearly marked by arrows. It is imperative that all drivers follow this traffic pattern and proceed with caution as failure to do so could result in the serious injury of a child. Parking lot safety is more important than getting your children into class on time.
