Welcome to Dancing Thru Life or DTL as we like to call it!
Free Trial Classes
We offer free trial classes to help ensure you're comfortable with the level you've chosen. Unless you're a true beginner, we recommend trying both the level above and below where you feel you are as a dancer. Even our most advanced students take multiple levels to strengthen their technique. Unsure of where to begin, visit our Class Description page for details.
What to Wear
Wear comfortable, workout-style clothing. To help instructors see your footwork, we recommend leggings rather than bootcut-style pants. Please avoid jeans or cut-offs.
Shoes
For your first class, wear tennis shoes (for jazz or ballet) or hard-soled flats (for tap). Your instructor will help determine which shoes are best suited to your level and dance style.
Registration Process
The main season includes three registration opportunities: Class Enrollment for your regular weekly classes, Drop-In Enrollment for students participating in unlimited classes and Show Performance Enrollment for those wishing to participate in our annual performance. When you're ready to enroll, visit our Schedule & Seasons page to view available classes and register online.
Performance Opportunities
In May, all Dancing Thru Life students are invited to showcase their skills in our fun and lively variety show, Performing for Life. If you choose to participate, you'll be expected to attend special rehearsals and perform in both the matinee and evening shows.
Attendance & Tuition
Tuition is determined by enrollment, not attendance. Once enrolled, the full tuition for that trimester is required regardless of the number of classes attended. Absences do not reduce tuition and are not eligible for refunds, adjustments or credits. Missed classes can be made up in an equal or lower-level class during the same trimester. Refunds, adjustments or prorated credits are not offered for classes dropped mid-trimester. To discontinue all dance classes and prevent further billing, a written request must be submitted at least two weeks prior to the start of a new trimester. Accounts stay open and payment obligations remain until a written notice is received.
Tuition & Billing
Tuition is posted at the start of the trimester or summer session. We accept Cash, Check, Credit Cards and ApplePay. If tuition payment is not received within fifteen days (seven days for summer sessions) of the due date, a $10 late fee will be applied. A $25 fee will be assessed for all returned checks. After three (3) returned checks, the studio reserves the right to require all future payments to be made by cash or credit card.
