We ask that parents drop their dancers off and return before their class is finished. Students will be dismissed to their guardian after their class concludes. Classes offered for our 2-4 year olds are able to have observers; we do recommend drop off.
We offer free trial class before committing to the full season; give your dancer a chance to try out a new style or class. Please send us an email at formationsdancecenter@gmail.com to set up the day your dancer would like to come.

annual recital & aerial showcase
Absences, cancellations, add/drop
Formations Dance Center has an Annual Recital (usually the weekend following Memorial Day). Any student participating in the recital will incur a costume fee for each dance, due the middle of December. They must also have the proper tights and shoes for each dance. All Recital Fees & Costume Fees are NON-REFUNDABLE.
​
We also have an Annual Aerial Showcase in the spring. This is an option for all students participating in an aerial dance class. Participants must turn in a costume fee in November and tickets must be purchased ahead of time as space is limited.​

We must receive cancellation in writing two weeks before the 1st of the month to avoid charges.
