DANCE PROGRAMS

Pre-School Combo Classes

The class is packed with innovative music, great props and fun choreography. Your little ones will love it! Classes offered are:

• Combo I for 3 year olds
• Combo II for 4 year olds
• StageOne for 5 and 6 year olds. StageOne meets once a week, does competition, learn three dances – a musical theatre, a jazz and a lyrical.

6 yr olds with dance experience are in StageDebut. To make the transition from the combo class program into the 'big girls' program, the dancers will learn a baby ballet or baby jazz routine plus a lyrical or musical theatre routine during the year with more difficult choreography plus costumes. These 'StageDebut' will compete at one competition during spring.

All Combo dancers will perform in different Christmas outfits like dresses, coats, sweaters and pants/skirts during the holiday season and then after Christmas, we will order costumes for the May recital. StageImpact do the same performances/competitions, but are a level up and one grade older than StageDebut – this year the ages are 2nd thru 3rd grade.

Dress Code:

Any style black leotard and pink tights, pink ballet slippers and tap shoes. Skirts allowed.

Ballet

Starting at age 6, ballet is offered in ballet technique shoes. We have ballet I, II, III and IV before the students are tested for pointe work at around 11 years of age. Ballet students have the opportunity to perform in the annual Nutcracker held the 2nd week in December at the King Fine Arts Center.

Note: All Centre Stage Company dancers are encouraged to pick up extra ballet technique classes at no extra charge under their group tuition rate. Count up how many classes you take as a family to determine tuition rates.

All tuition is to be kept up to date. No student will be taught without tuition payment being made regularly. $15 late fee if tuition is not paid by the 15th of the month. Bounced checks will automatically go through Checknet which charges a service charge and goes on your credit rating. Liability Insurance due the first lesson of the year is $10 per student enrolled.

You may pay by ApplePay, Venmo, Check or Cash. I eliminated the credit card machines due to the high fees each month to maintain their services. You may also use ApplePay & Venmo for store purchases. We prefer ApplyPay because it does not charge a service fee. All tuition is to be paid by the 15th of the month to avoid the $15 late fee.

Attendance

Consistent attendance is a must when learning a talent. Please make a goal to attend class 100% of the time and to be early to stretch before class. It's not the classes you take, but the lessons you don't miss!

Observing Classes

While we encourage you to see your child's progress, coming every week is both distracting to the students and the instructor. We suggest once a month for a few minutes. Please keep younger siblings from running around the studio while you observe. They are welcome to sit and watch videos in the lobby area. Parents: Please supervise your children!
