Fall and Spring Classes
Our classes are offered for ages 3 through adult for a variety of skill levels from beginner to advanced Questions? Email us at phyllismpapa@gmail.com. Should you choose to schedule a class please fill out the Registration and Release Form and bring it to registration, or upload it and send it to Phyllis via our contact form. The registration fee is $30.
There are several options for paying for classes (see our schedule for days/times):
- Take advantage of Unlimited Classes at $5000 for the fall term from September to May. You will be able to sign up for 4 Technique (Ballet) Classes per week and 4 pointe classes over the entire 33 weeks and allows you the opportunity to join the competitive team. If you signed up for these classes individually at the prices below per class over 32 weeks, it would cost $6,350.00. You can purchase the special Unlimited Classes at the store. There is no registration fee due for those who take advantage of our Unlimited Class Option. Note: The price went up from last year since there is an extra week of classes this fall/spring.
- A one hour ballet class is $25 per class and the 1.5 hour ballet class is $30.
- Each pointe class is $20 per class. The pointe classes are scheduled 2 times per week so it would be $40 per week.
- Pre-Ballet is once per week at $25 per class.
- Ballet II/III and IV/V classes are 1.5 hours long and they are $30/class.
- Classes can also be paid incrementally by choosing PayPal credit at checkout via the store. PayPal Credit lets you purchase a class and pay for it over a 6 month period at 0% interest as long as it is paid off in those 6 months.
