TAKE A TRIAL CLASS: We are confident that you will love class but we always encourage new students to take a TRIAL CLASS to ensure the student and parent feels comfortable registering for the class. Please RSVP for your trial class here. Trial students will also be accepted on the day without an RSVP if class size allows.
Dance To EvOLvE OFFERS HIGH QUALITY, AFFORDABLE AND FUN CLASSES: We are proud to offer professional dance teachers who create high quality progressive classes...the same quality (if not higher) that you would receive at a traditional dance studio. Our teachers create fun, creative, and progressive classes. Our prices are very competitive compared to most traditional dance studios, and in addition, we do not charge a registration fee or recital fee like most dance studios. Further, we do not have a strict dress code that requires you to purchase new dance clothes, and we always encourage you to purchase your items online to receive the best prices. (See dress code below with a coupon code for 10% off.) We also have a flexible make-up class policy that enables you to get your full moneys worth of classes. Dance To EvOLvE believes that you and/or your child can receive high quality instruction at an affordable price.
Dance To EvOLvE has a big annual recital in June where all our locations come together to perform. (The 2012 recital date is not yet confirmed.) The recital is encouraged but optional for all dancers. Recital Fee: $0 The only additional fee is a costume fee if you choose to be in the recital but we believe in choosing costumes that can be offered to you at an affordable price and/or worn again.

Tiny Tot Tap/ Ballet/ Tumbling Classes: We want our dancers to have fun while being safe and appropriate. Dancers are asked to wear proper dance attire (ex: leotard, tights, and tutus) and/or leggings and a t-shirt. We ask that tiny tots’ dance clothes are worn for dance class only so that the student understands that they are coming to dance class and not an unstructured play time. Hair needs to be pulled back.
Shoes: Pink ballet shoes (black for boys) and black tap shoes are required in appropriate classes. Ballet shoes should have an elastic across the front of the ankle to keep the shoe from falling off the heel and the shoestring should be double knotted and tucked into the shoe. Ballet slippers with a thick cushion sole are not recommended. Tap shoes need to have a shoestring. Socks are not allowed as to avoid slipping. (We encourage the recommended colored shoes so that all dancers have needed colored shoes come recital time when the students need to dress the same as to avoide having to buy new shoes. Prior to recital time, we are lenient on the color of the shoes.) Please label your child’s name in all shoes. Please see our blog on how to pick out dance shoes and what type of shoes to avoid.
Hip Hop: Sweats, leggings, and t-shirts are great...wear clothes that you can easily move in and are appropriate when dancing and doing floor work. (Shorts and skirts can be a challenge.) Girls should wear their hair pulled back in a ponytail. Sneakers with laces are required (safety first). Barefoot or socks just won't work.
For safety reasons dancers are not permitted to wear jewelry in any class.
CLASS MAKE-UP POLICY: All EvOLvE students can make-up any missed class during any age appropriate class at any EvOLvE location within one month of the missed class. No RSVP needed, simply complete a make-up slip upon arrival with the teacher. (Make-up classes during recital season can be difficult as classes are preparing for the recital and the student making up the class will not know the dance to fully participate in the class, therefore please schedule make-up classes outside of recital season which includes April, May and June.)
CANCELLED CLASSES: All cancelled classes will be posted on the announcement box and our Facebook page. If school is cancelled within the district of your dance class location, dance class will also be cancelled. No refunds will be issued for any cancelled classes, but make-up classes will be offered.
REFUND POLICY: Please see the various payment plans in regards to refunds. No refunds will be offered for cancelled classes, but make-up classes will be offered.
