Why isn't the store/office open

store is based on a budget to keep the tuition reasonable. Our
teachers are professional and our program is first in priority of
budget. We are always open to assist you as best as we

Is there a discount for multiple classes, siblings, early

Yes, there is a $2.00 discount per child and a $2.00 off if
that child is in multiple classes. Academic Ballet,
Dance Teams, Company have larger discounts. $10.00 for those
in the Music and dance department. 10% off for an annual
payment in September. $6.00 off a tri-monthly payment.
Scholarships are also given to many students participating in many
programs.
What is required for Recitals?
Students are not required to be in a recital or multiple
recitals. When you register a letter is beside your class day and
time. This is the recital you are assigned. If there is
an "M" it means that this class may have more than one recital
because siblings may alter the recital assignment. You will
receive paperwork in November with assigned recital letters.
When you forward deposits this tells us that you would like to be a
part of the recital.

What is the Pointe requirement and ballet
levels?
Ballet technique requires time in the class room. As you progress, time
increases with your level. When you move to Ballet level II/III you still need
an addiitonal level of Ballet which is presented in the program. Pointe
requires a professional eye to be sure the students are progressing correctly
and to avoid injury. There is not a time limit of when or how much training
before you reach a level, it is completely dependent upon the individual
students work ethic, talent, body type and understanding of correct placement.
When the student reaches those levels the teacher increases her time on Pointe
within the classroom.
At the level of Pointe I there will be time in the classroom that the students
place their pointe shoes on and begin taking the more and more class time on
pointe. They will also begin to wear their pointe shoes for choreography in
their Pointe I class or Pointe II class.
A student taking level II/III Ballet must be in two classes of Ballet a week.
A student in the pointe program must take at least 1.5 hours of Ballet/Pointe
and an additional hour of ballet technique. See our schedules page for the
ballet program for higher levels of Ballet requirements.
/
What are your recital requirements?
Recitals: Optional but 98% of the school participates in the program. We
send paperwork out in November and this is when parents make the decision to
participate or not.
Cost:
Costume: 55-65.00 for younger students 65-85.00 for older students.
(Most perform in two dances and need additional pieces)
Informal REcital fee: 18.00 This fee covers the rental of facility,
custodial, lighting, sound, additional area for pictures to be taken....
The informal Recital is a chance for the kids to see all different
styles of dance and levels of dance. All are invited
and there is no fee at the door. Students get pictures taken and then
come backstage to perform. It is a day of the Arts.
Students may leave when their dance is complete or stay an watch some
of the performances.
Mid to late May.
Formal Recital:
Dinner Theatre- Students perform in a more formal setting.
Approximately $40.00 per person. Students purchase at least 1 ticket.
This is a very popular show and families have loved it. We have been
doing this for 20 years. The show is a combination of levels and ages.
It is exciting for the younger students and very entertaining for
parents and families. The recital is within the first three weeks
of June.
As the girls get older could the teacher start incorporating more technique
and focusing on them strengthening their skills rather than their dances? They
are in a Ballet/Jazz class.
When you combine two
artforms in a half hour there is not enough time to concentrate on technique.
They should enroll in a Non performing Ballet Tech
or Jazz tech class for this.
We can always add an hour onto their schedule as
well if we have 5 interested but there is not enough time to incorporate all of
this in one hour.
This would be stressful to the kids and teacher and not
very effective.
Our advanced program is all about this.
Tell them to email me at
info@paperformingarts.com if they
are interested in our advanced program.
