2007-2008 SEASON SCHEDULE
"Celebrating 25 Successful Years!"
Since 1983

FALL REGISTRATION
Fall registrations will be taken the week of Monday, July 30 - Saturday, August 4, for dancers in the Summer DANCEcamp. Open registration will be held starting the week of Monday, August 6. Only registration and payment in advance of classes will guarantee placement.
A REGISTRATION FEE is due with payment for Session I. It is due at the time of registration for others joining later in the year. The fee is $20.00 per year per student or $50.00 for a family with 3 or more students. This fee is nonrefundable.
SCHOOL SCHEDULE - Our season runs like the school year, September - June (with a Summer DANCEcamp). If a dancer wishes to take off a session, then re-register, it causes great office complications, especially in full classes. A dancer who misses a session is at a disadvantage as each session is a progression. Another registration fee will be charged if this occurs. Please notify the office (not just the teacher) if your dancer wishes to discontinue, add a class, or drop a class. Thank you.
TWO PAYMENT OPTIONS - For your convenience we offer two payment options.
OPTION 1 Monthly payments due on the 15th of every month. Aug. 15th thru May 15th for Sessions I thru V, and June 15th & July 15th for summer DANCEcamp.
OPTION 2 Payments made in full for 8 week sessions qualify for a discount. Payment is due on the 15th of every other month. Aug. 15th, Oct. 15th, Dec. 15th, Feb. 15th, April 15th for Sessions I thru V, and June 15th for Summer DANCEcamp.
We accept VISA, MasterCard, and debit cards.
LATE PAYMENTS All payments are due by the 15th of every month or every other month. If a payment is not paid by the 25th of the month, the computer automatically places an $8.00 late fee on the account. After the 25th a payment no longer qualifies for the discounted 8-week rate. No late fees will be applied to new students starting after the 25th, nor will they be applied when returning students register for Session I in the Fall.

Our School Structure
Below is the structure of the school. This should help explain where the dancers start, what they work towards, and how several dancers advanced many years or dance levels, after a single Summer Workshop Program. All of the dance programs work together to provide the dancers with excellent training so each individual can reach the highest of his/her ability.
