Thank you for joining us this year and sharing in the celebration of our 10th ANNIVERSARY YEAR! We are so thankful to all our dance families for their patronage and loyalty all these years. It’s because of them that the tiny one room studio we opened in 2003 on Chester Ave in Moorestown has grown into 2 locations with 4 state of the art dance floors! We are so grateful to have been able to share our love of dance with so many dancers these past 10 years and look forward to sharing that passion for many years to come!

Drop Off/Pick Up
Drop off/Pick Up
We stagger classes to cut down on congestion in the studio and parking lot. For this reason, we ask that you do not arrive more than 10 minutes before your dancer's class time. Arriving 5-10 minutes before class gives the previous classes time to exit and the next class plenty of time to change shoes and use restroom before class starts.
To keep down congestion in the studio, we request only 1 parent per family in the waiting room.
Dancers in Starlet and Prima level, we encourage parents to drop off/pickup at door.
*For younger students, we understand the first few weeks might be tough to leave their parent. We will work with our students until they feel comfortable.
***Helpful Tip- please send your dancer in easy to slip on and slip off shoes (no tied shoes) to help with the flow of classes coming in and out!***
VIRTUAL WAITING ROOM!
Virtual Waiting Room Only. No Virtual Classes.
Every class has been assigned a Zoom link that will be used all year for parent's to watch class virtually. All parents should choose the "hide" option so that students are not able to see your face as this is distracting during class. (Due to the noise level in the studio, we will no longer have sound with the zoom, but, you will be able to view.) Just click on the link to join! You don't need a zoom account to attend a meeting!
The zoom class code will be the same every week- save it in your notes or somewhere safe where you can copy and paste it into your browser each week! 6-8 Week Courses will have a new Zoom code with each new 6-8 week session.
