2010 Summer Course tuition can be found on each Summer Course page.
Students of any age should always wear street clothing over their dance attire when coming to and from their classes. Ballet slippers must never be worn outdoors as this tracks dirt into the studio and is detrimental to the marley floors, as well as dangerous for the students. All dress code requirements are mandatory in every level of the school.
Proper attire may be purchased at 25% off the retail price by calling tutu.com at 704.542.2433 or by visiting their website. In the proud tradition of classical ballet and out of respect for the art form, we strive to have a clean, uniformed look for our students in all of our dance classes. Please help us achieve this goal by purchasing leotards, tights and ballet shoes that match our dress code requirements and by fixing your child’s hair for class in the appropriate manner as listed.
