  • What is a Flex Schedule? When are you closed?

    Our dance studio incorporates a BYE WEEK each month. We operate 4 weeks on, 1 week off, and repeat this pattern throughout the year. We may also refer to this as our 4-1 Dance Schedule.

    Our facility will operate on a Flex Schedule to deep clean our facility and to offer our students, parents, and staff a moment to breathe, reset, and refocus during. It is important to us that we all take care of not only our physical health, but mental health as well.

    Our flex schedule does not interfere with payments. Tuition is charged based on 4 weeks of class. But is inclusive of all holidays.
