2024-2025 CLASS SCHEDULE

​
NOTE: Most classes have a dress code which can be found HERE​
​
Both 1st Term and 2nd Term are guaranteed to receive 14 weeks, including a technical rehearsal and recital in both terms, and photography day in the 2nd Term. We are running 16-19 weeks in Terms 1 & 2 (depending on which day your dancer has classes). Should there be a day of classes we have to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances, classes will not be made up unless we fall beneath our allotted 14 weeks/term.
​
Term 2 registration online for classes closes on February 9, 2025 for competitive & non-competitive dancers. Late registration is possible by contacting the Directors.
TERM 2: Sunday, February 1, 2025 - Sunday, May 25, 2025

Spring Showcase Rehearsals: Saturday, May 31 & Sunday, June 1, 2025 - exact rehearsal times for each class will be sent out closer to the show date.
Spring Showcase Show: Sunday, June 1, 2025

-
Who: All non-competitive & competitive dancers
-
Where: Alderney Landing Theatre

Number Of Shows: Depending on final registration numbers in the fall, we may have to hold two shows on June 1, 2025. If so, we will likely split our classes by the day they dance on. So one show would be for Saturday dancers and the second for Sunday dancers. Families should keep this in mind when registering more than one child for classes, in case they choose to register their children for different days. In the situation of two shows being held, competitive dancers will likely perform in both shows.
-
Tickets: Each family will be auto-invoiced for two adult tickets to our Spring Show. Additional tickets will be sold on a first-come, first-serve basis. Families not requiring their auto-purchased tickets may sell them to another family as needed.
-
Costumes: All Term 2 dancers will be expected to purchase a spring show costume. Purchased costumes cost a maximum of $100/dancer/class taken, and dancers keep their costumes after the show. If your dancer participates in more than one class, such as Hip Hop and an Acro class, or a Combo class with Ballet and Jazz, they have two costumes to purchase. If they take three classes, there will be three costumes and so on. We do our best to keep costume fees as low as possible. Costume invoices are sent in early February with costume payments due by February 14, 2025.
