The studio will not necessarily close for snow/bad weather days regardless if area schools are closed. Closings will be sent out via email within one hour of the scheduled class and posted on our Facebook & Instagram accounts. You are entitled to a makeup class if we close the studio due to the weather. It is encouraged to be made up but not required.
Split Club auditions are always the first week of the month in our Jazz classes! Split club aids in the growth of our dancer's flexibility while helping them to see the progression they are making each month! 
sweaters/tops in black and pink are permitted for ballet/jazz class. Sweatshirts are NOT allowed as teachers need to see the proper body lines to make sure technique is correct.
Please be sure to wear sneakers, worn only for the class, to the studio. As the weather becomes bad, shoes worn outside make a mess of our floors.
