Good Things To Know

  • When can I register?  Students can register for winter/spring classes from 12/19 to 1/31. Summer class/camp registration will open in April 2026. 
 
  • Drop off/pick up procedures.  Parents and caregivers can feel confident that their student is in a caring nurturing environment and you may drop your child at the door.  All are welcome in the building; however, we do encourage families to keep class viewing at a minimum to allow your student to focus on their experience.  We offer special observation weeks several times throughout the year when you can come into the studio to observe and take photos.   
 
  • If you are new to Dance Kaleidoscope, we invite you to attend an open house, arrange a tour at your convenience or during your first class, come in for a quick tour and meet staff.
