FAQ
What time should I arrive?
- Students may arrive up to ten minutes early for their class.
What if a student needs to miss a class?
- That's okay! We know "life" happens. Please note, refunds cannot be made for missed classes.
May parents sit in and watch the class?
- In order to help students let go of their inhibitions and develop a strong stage presence, we ask parents not to stay and watch their child in class, as it is often disruptive to the students.
What time should I pick up my child?
- Classes are one-hour and your student's class end time will be listed in your confirmation email. A late penalty of $25 per each extra 10 minutes after the class end time will be imposed.
Will there be a performance at the end of classes?
- All class descriptions have information about a performance. Some classes perform at the Final Showcase, others have an informal final class performance, and others do not have a performance at all. If a performance is planned, it is intended to be very informal and almost always done without lights, sets, props or costumes.
