Welcome! Here's a brief rundown about classes at our studio!

General overview:

• Students enroll for the season, which runs from September 2022 to June 2023. Though tuition for the entire season is due at registration, along with a yearly membership (registration) fee and any other fees as indicated, for your convenience, we offer an option to pay tuition in monthly instalments through automatic credit card debit (Auto-Pay). Note that tuition listed on this site is the MONTHLY tuition instalment before HST. Event fees and costume rental fees are charged separately from class fees.
• Interested in tuition subsidies that may be available? Click the link at the bottom of this page to email us for more info.
• We have a full dance performance calendar this year! In addition to two big dance performances - one in December, and one in June - and our Aerial Open House in June, we are returning to our community outreach work this year as well. 
• ABCs of Dance students and ATRIUM Aerial students have a dress code: clothing a student must wear for personal safety and comfort while moving. Most students will have these items in their closets already.
• ACADEMY Dance students (ages 6 to 18) wear a uniform and class-specific footwear. These are fitted and purchased through the studio, and are distributed to students and charged to your account as supplies are available. 
• ​Listed age ranges refer to the child's age as at December 31, 2022. Class placement and advancement is at the discretion of the instructor.

Class logistics:

• ​Classes that do not reach full enrolment may be combined or cancelled. 
• Class start/stop times may change to accommodate changing requirements.
• Mask wearing is currently optional at the studio.
• Caregivers are asked to drop their students off at the door and return for the end of class.
• Tot & caregiver classes are subject to a one-child-per-adult ratio, and all children attending class must be enrolled in that class. Exceptions may be made for current students who are older siblings of enrolled toddlers, on a pre-arranged case-by-case basis, depending on space availability. 
• Makeup classes (dropping in to another scheduled class to make up for a missed class) are available where space allows, by reserving 24 hours in advance. Where the studio is closed for long weekends and holiday Mondays, those classes will be rescheduled or students will be directed to other classes in the schedule for makeups. Classes missed because of snow days or other cancellations will not be rescheduled. 
• ​Only students with back-to-back classes are allowed to bring food (nut-free only) into the studio.
• If in-studio DANCE class capacity levels are temporarily reduced through official order, we then move to a rotating schedule where each week where some students attend class remotely while the rest attend at the studio.
• In the event of a government-issued stay-at-home directive given during the session, in-studio DANCE classes may move online until authorized to return. In that case, students will need access to a cleared space of around six feet by six feet with a floor that is safe to dance on, plus an internet-enabled device and an internet connection. Other items will be needed on a class-by-class basis. If dance classes do not move online, dance fees will be put on pause.
• In the event of a government- issued stay-at-home directive given during the session, all in-studio AERIAL classes and fees will be paused and will resume when we are allowed to return to in-studio classes. In this case, all aerial students are welcome to join any online dance classes offered at their level for no extra charge.
• All class inquiries and fee payments are to happen through your online account or over the phone.

When attending class:

• Ill and COVID-19-exposed students are required to stay home, where they are welcome to join us remotely instead. Email us by noon on the day of class (7a on Saturdays) so we can set  up the remote connection. Students may be required by Public Health to self-screen before attending the studio. Click here for the province's screening tool. 
• Students are to get fully dressed in their uniforms / clean dance wear at home before class.
• Students arrive at the studio no more than five minutes before class, and wait in their vehicle for the instructor to let the previous class out and open the door for the next class. 
• ​At the end of class, the instructor sends students out the front door one-by-one to meet their waiting caregivers. ⚠️ Adults, please exit your vehicle and stand near to the studio; students are not allowed to cross the parking lot on their own. Students arriving for the next class wait outside or in their cars until invited into the building by the instructor.
• Class begins and ends on time, and caregivers are asked to pick up their students promptly, so staff can be available to prepare the studio between classes.

 
Students are reminded to:

• Go to their designated dance or aerial space upon entry into the studio, and remain there until instructed by the teacher.
• ⚠️ Go to the washroom at home before leaving home, and clean and fill water bottles at home. 

** We ask for your patience and flexibility as we navigate this new normal, understanding that the rules we are required to abide by may change at any time, or that we may even be required to close our physical studio again. **
​
