CLASS PROGRESSION: 

Summer recreation classes at Shaw Dance Studio include Marvy or Mighty Mix (combination), Composite Jazz, Superheroes (little boys hip hop), Hippity Hop, Hip Hop I or II, and Tap. The next progression would be to specialize in jazz, hip hop, lyrical and contemporary through our Artistic Company, Expressive Company, and Inspired Company.  Many students study more than one dance discipline; for example, students taking both jazz and tumbling, ballet, or hip hop advance at a much faster rate and become much more versatile.

DRESS CODE:

For participation in all dance classes, it is required that hair be put up in a ponytail and pulled away from the face.  With the exception of the hip hop classes, baggy shirts, sweats, pajama bottoms and street shoes are not accepted.

  • Combination Classes: Must wear new yearly studio leotard, ($20), white tights with white ballet shoes and black tap shoes.  Skirts and tutus will not be allowed.

  • Jazz Classes: Must wear studio blue tank, ($20), black booty shorts ($20), or black leggings, and lyrical turners for shoes.

  • Hip Hop Classes: May wear any moveable dance or work out attire.  Tennis shoes are required.

  • Tap Class: May wear any moveable dance attire and black tap shoes.

  • Team Classes: Must wear all black dance attire and footwear.

SUMMER PERFORMANCE:

All recreation classes will perform in a fun and exciting summer recital capturing the technical and artistic skills taught throughout summer dance classes. (Tumbling, Acro, and competitive teams will NOT perform.) The performance package includes a simple costume and recital fee- unlimited spectators- $50.

REFUNDS:

Refunds for missed classes will not be given.  No class that is missed can be credited to the next session or subtracted from the monthly payment. A make-up lesson is granted if absence is called in ahead of time- similar class on different day.  

If a student must miss class due to illness or potential quarantine, make up lessons will be granted.  Refunds for tuition will not be granted.  

Should the studio be forced to close, all classes will move to online learning.
