Parent Observation Week

Thank you to all those parents who were able to make it out to a dance class last week! If you weren't able to make it we look forward to seeing you at the Spring Performance in May!

If you have any friends who are interested in signing their children up next fall and want to see Beverly's teaching style we have put together a video montage of one of the classes. It's very fun to watch these little ones learn how to move to the music!

Beverly also enjoys performing. She has performed professionally in stage and film productions and in modern and jazz companies- dancing in such settings as New York City, the Kennedy Center and most recently at Herberger Fine Arts Center of Phoenix.

Other Information

Facility
Located in Mesa, between Lindsay and Gilbert roads just South of McDowell. This in-home dance studio is equipped for teaching children in a small, yet professional setting.

Performances
Dance performances are a little different at the Dance Loft. Because we believe dance is primarily an art form and our students are quite young we don’t participate in competitions or put on a large scale recital. We will have a parent observation day and an informal demonstration/performance every 16 week session.

Calendar
Spring session begins January 8th, and runs through the week of May 2nd. Parent observation week will be the second week of February. There will be NO classes during Spring Break. The next session will be a Summer intensive.

Enrollment
After the best class level is determined, students enroll and tuition is paid . If you choose, you can pay for all 16 weeks at once. At a minimum, you must purchase four classes at a time.
If a student misses class one week, there is no charge. Make up classes will be arranged.
Students can enroll and begin taking classes at any time during the dance year, however, it is recommended that they begin at the start of each 16 week period. Completion of an enrollment packet is required before initial enrollment.

If interested we welcome trades as a payment option. Please ask for more information when you receive an enrollment packet.

Policies
Please arrive no earlier that 10 minutes prior to class time, and please return for your child right after the class ends. You are more than welcome to wait inside for your child, but please keep voices soft as it can be distracting to your children.
All students in creative class wear a black leotard, convertible tights or anklet socks, and ballet slippers. Students in ballet/jazz classes must wear a black leotard, pink tights and ballet slippers. Skirts are allowed in all classes. Male dancers need to wear comfortable fitting clothing. Hair must be worn up and out of eyes.
