Frequently Asked Questions;
Signing Up
Q. May I use packages for all classes are they just for one class type?
A. We encourage you to try all of our classes with your package (5, 10+1, or the Ma & Zi packages). There are no limits to the class types or times you can take.
Q. It is mid-month, can I begin classes?
A. You can begin your classes at anytime. There are no start or end dates to any of our adult classes. You may drop-in or to ensure your spot, sign in online on web scheduler.
Q. How do I sign up?
A. You can sign up and pay for classes using our online scheduler directly linked to our schedule. Or you can sign up when you come in to take class. For this option we recommend you arrive about 10 minutes before the scheduled class.
Kids in Dance
Q. What is the minimum age for your kid program?
A. We recommend the child be at least 4, but a mature 3-year old could be enrolled on a case by case basis.
Q. How serious is the training?
A. Our training instills discipline, fun, and artistry. We understand that kids will be kids, and our classes will serve to technically prepare them to go to the next level should they chose to. If they chose not to proceed with dance training, they will have a solid foundation & profound appreciation for the art.
Class Type Questions
Q. What is Ballerina Bum Bootcamp?
A. It is an intense, 1-hour, strength and stretching class that delivers long, lean dancer lines. We recommend that you do this class a minimum of 3 times a week for quick results. Pilates Ball is a great complement to this class as it also works on lengthening, strengthening and providing flexibility all around.
Q. What is Dance Cardio like?
Dance Cardio is a fantastic way to get your cardio workout in! We provide a thorough warm-up with toning elements for the first 10-15 minutes. Then, we learn different combinations that we repeat through the next 45 minutes, providing interval training. No dance experience is necessary and our choreography is always changing!
Q. I am in adult that wants to get back on pointe, do you offer a pointe class?
A. We offer a “pointe section” during the last 15 minutes of class in the Adv/Int levels.
Q. How do I decide on whether I am a beginner, intermediate or advanced ADULT ballet student?
A. We recommend that you start at the beginner level if you have either never taken ballet or if you have not regularly (2-3 times a week) taken ballet in the last year. Intermediate is appropriate if you have been taking regular ballet classes in the past year and have mastered ballet basics. Advanced/PRO is for the student that has been studying continuously for several years and/or is a professional.
Q. What do I wear for classes?
A. You can wear anything you’d like that you will feel comfortable moving in. Ballet shoes are recommended for beg/int/adv ballet classes. Ballerina Bum Bootcamp & Pilates Ball do not require shoes.

A. Professional rates are applied to professional dancers and/or fitness instructors. Student rates apply to full-time or part-time students with a university/college/school I.D .card.
