Good Things To Know

  • When do classes start?  Fall session starts in early September. Spring session starts in early January. Summer session starts in late July.
 
  • 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. 

FAQ's

May I tour the space and meet instructors? Yes! Arrange a tour at your convenience or plan for a tour on your student’s first day of class. Please contact Education Director Libby Harris at libbyh@dancekal.org to schedule a visit to our studios.

School Policies

  • All students must be potty trained and able to dress themselves. Students should arrive dressed and ready to go. 
  • We reserve the right to cancel a class due to low enrollment (3 student minimum).
  • No food, snacks, or drinks besides water in the building! Please ensure water bottles are tightly sealed, and no straws please.
  • If classes need to be canceled for any reason (weather, Covid, etc.) you will be notified via email and we will post on our social media pages.
  • If your child is sick, please keep them home so we can all stay healthy. We are happy to help you schedule a makeup class at the same or a lower level. 

Dress Code

  • Everyone’s hair (boys and girls) must be pulled back off the face and neck for all classes. Please no toys, jewelry or accessories.
  • Do not wear dance shoes outdoors, this will damage them and will damage our dance floors.
  • Please mark all dance wear, shoes and personal items with your child’s name.
  • Cell phones must be turned off or on silent in their bags if a dancer must bring it to the studio.
