Frequently Asked Questions

We are not a competitive studio. We focus on technique and strive to set our students up for success both inside and outside the studio. We focus on teaching teamwork, kindness and bravery through safe and technically sound dance and theater training in a fun and healthy environment. We hope that our students learn valuable life skills as well as great technique, and we hope that they are able to carry these skills and lessons with them throughout their lives and positively impact the community around them.

We offer both mobile and studio classes. We offer our mobile classes throughout the community in a variety of settings to best serve you. You can find our mobile classes at schools, preschools, community spaces and more.

Our Charlotte home studio classes are held at 5107 Piper Station Dr, Unit C2, Charlotte, NC 28277.

Our Winston- Salem studio classes are held at 205 W 3rd St, Winston-Salem, NC 27101.

Dress Code for Mobile Dance Classes (at preschools and elementary schools):

We encourage dancers to wear clothing that they feel comfortable and confident moving in. We do not have a strict dress code, but baggy t-shirts and sweatpants make it difficult for instructors to see dancers’ placement and form; this makes it difficult for instructors to provide corrections and ensure dancers’ safety. We request that our preschool and school aged students refrain from wearing dresses and skirts on dance days as well.

Sneakers or tennis shoes are appropriate for most classes. Dancers will need both ballet and tap shoes for ballet/tap classes.

Dress Code for Studio Dance Classes (Charlotte and Winston Salem ):

Please view our studio handbook below with dress code suggestions. If you have any questions about our dress code, please feel free to reach out via email.

All of our classes are closed sessions, but have observation windows.

At our home studio we ask that students wait outside with their guardians until the start of class because we do not have a true lobby or waiting area. Guardians are able to walk students right inside the door at the start of their class time and will be able to see our classes from outside the studio, but we ask that guardians not stand at the windows for the entire class time because this can be a distraction for students.

We ask that guardians not enter our dance room/floor for any reason at any time as it is a distraction to students and staff.

Most of our community sessions and school/preschool classes have a built in day where we invite family members to come watch their student's progress. If you are curious about your student’s progress, please feel free to reach out to us. We are happy to share updates with you upon request.
