NON-COMPETITIVE CLASSES
TERM 2 BEGAN JANUARY 30, 2023 AND SOME CLASSES STILL HAVE AVAILABLE SPOTS!
Prefer non-competitive classes? No problem, your quest for the perfect dance facility ends here!
We have an extensive list of classes and skill levels so there’s an option that’s perfect for you.
We update our offerings regularly, so check back often for new dance opportunities!
NOTE: Most classes have a dress code which can be found HERE
Both 1st Term and 2nd Term are guaranteed to receive 14 weeks, including a recital in both terms and photography day in the 2nd Term. We are running 15-18 weeks in Term 1 (depending on which day your dancer has classes), and 16-18 weeks in Term 2. Should there be a day of classes we have to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances, classes will not be made up unless we fall beneath our allotted 14 weeks/term.
WINTER TERM 2 CLASSES BEGIN ON JANUARY 30, 2023 - REGISTRATION FOR TERM 2 REMAINS OPEN
All non-competitive Winter Term 2 classes will participate in our Year-End Showcase at the Spatz Theatre in Halifax on Saturday, June 3, 2023 time TBA - with rehearsals on Friday, June 2nd evening and Saturday, June 3rd morning.
Dancers should keep both June 2nd and 3rd open in case they are scheduled.
All Term 2 dancers will be expected to purchase a year-end recital costume if they participate from January 30, 2023 to the end of May 2023. Costumes will cost a maximum of $100/dancer/class taken, and dancers keep costumes after the show. If your dancer participates in more than one class such as Hip Hop and an Acro class, they have two costumes to purchase. If they take three classes, there will be three costumes and so on. The exception to this is Children's Combo classes including Ballet/Jazz/Tap. These classes will pay up to $100/dancer, with Ballet/Jazz usually paying a bit less than those who have added Tap. We do our best to keep costume fees as low as possible. Invoices for costumes will be sent out in early February and costume payments are due by February 15, 2023.
Any questions, don't hesitate to contact the IDA Directors Dawn and Jess HERE
