Our instructional year runs for 10 months from August to May. Final class recital may be anytime between May 20 and June 10. During that time, our students receive 40 weeks of classes and four ‘break’ weeks which are synchronized to the Lake County public schools calendar.
We encourage students to register as early as possible although we accept new beginning students through the end of October, and will consider others based on experience until Winter break. To submit class interests or for specific inquiries please navigate to the Contact Us page.
Pricing (subject to change)
Our monthly tuition rates are based on hours of class time per week which combines all family members. See chart below.

What to Wear
A dress code ensures that a teacher will be able to see a dancer’s alignment and positioning. A dress code will also teach students discipline, helping with overall focus and energy. By “dressing the part,” dancers feel like dancers. Dress codes can also create unity among the dancers instead of causing a few dancers to stand out much like a school uniform policy. Dress codes go a long way in minimizing distractions, and help give classes a unified look.
Proper dance attire is expected of all students. Students should arrive on time, dressed properly, and ready to participate in class. We recommend Dance N Stuff in Ocala and Discount Dance Supply online (www.discountdance.com). Students’ names should be clearly written on all their dance attire. Unless specifically modified by one of our teachers or noted below, these rules apply to ALL classes taught at our studio:
* Street shoes are not permitted on the dance floors!
* Students are not permitted to wear jewelry in class.
* Students must wear cover-ups over their dance wear when entering and leaving the studio. Dance shoes should not be worn outside the studio.
* Girls must wear their hair in a bun unless noted below.
* Sports bras control a dancer’s silhouette as well as prevent both discomfort and injury. Underwear is not permitted under leotards or costumes, tights serve that purpose. If a leotard does not completely cover a bra, the bra must be the same color as the leotard.
* School attire is in no way acceptable in class. Absolutely NO shorts or bare-midriff/cutoff shirts!
