9. Do you have recitals or performances?

Answer: Yes, we offer 2 recitals a year, called Bravo Bash for all divisions except for our Baby Ballet division. These events provide a wonderful opportunity for your child to showcase their progress and enjoy performing in front of an audience. It is not mandatory to be a part of Bravo Bash but we do encourage it for the experience and the confidence it builds.

10. What if my child misses several classes in a row?

Answer: With our unlimited make-up classes policy, your child can make up for any missed classes without any expiration, as long as you remain an active member. This provides great flexibility to accommodate any schedule changes or unforeseen circumstances.

11. How do I schedule a make-up class?

Answer: Scheduling a make-up class is simple. You can use the make-up scheduler on your Pirouette Portal account or contact us, and we are always happy to help!

12. How much is a membership?

Answer: Currently, our monthly membership price is $165 per month. Tuition is charged on the first of every month. Our Baby Ballet division is $120 per month with the ability to attend as many of the Baby Ballet class offerings each month.

13. Will tuition be prorated for planned studio closures?

Answer: Tuition will not be pro-rated as the monthly tuition is not based on the number of weeks in a month. It is calculated based on the total number of classes in the year averaged out. Because of this, some months may have more classes than others, but the monthly tuition is always one consistent payment. 

14. Can I pause my membership to catch up on missed classes?

Answer: We are so glad that we are able to offer unlimited make-up classes to our members as a benefit of enrollment, however, make-up classes cannot be used in place of a membership. Therefore, we do not pause a membership to catch up on missed classes.

15. How do I cancel my membership?

Answer: It's easy! You can cancel through your Pirouette Portal. You MUST do this BEFORE the first of the upcoming month to not be charged for the month you do not plan on attending.
