Frequently Asked Question's
What age can children start dancing?
Children can start classes at 2 years old.
Are parents able to come in the dance classes?
Parents and siblings may be distracting to dancers if they come in the dance class while it is in session. We have monitors in our lobby that are turned on periodically, so that parents can view progress of their dancer.
How often do students come to class and what do they wear?
Recreational dancers can come to dance class as little as one day a week. Additional classes are available for dancers wanting more dance classes. Dancers wear dance attire and dance shoes to class. We do have a full line of new dance shoes and dancewear, as well as, a collection of second hand shoes for sale inside our dance studio. We will be glad to help fit your child with all of her/his dancing needs.
How long are classes?
Individual classes are between 30 and 60 minutes. Combinations of classes, for instance, tap, ballet, and jazz can be total an hour and a half to two hours. The dance season follows the school year, beginning in August and finishing in May with a Spring Recital at Columbia County Performing Arts Center. Summer dance camps are available in June and July.
How much is registration and class tuition?

When is the monthly payment due and how do I pay?
Monthly fees are automatically drafted on the first of each month using Mastercard, Visa, or Discover credit cards.
Are classes prorated for absences?
If a student will be missing class, please email the studio. There are no refunds for missed classes, however Stephanie will email you additional classes taught at the studio that are the same level and your child can make up her class by attending this class.
How do I keep up with studio news?
Important dates and holiday closings are posted on the calendar on this website. Important information will be sent via email a few times during the season, especially near the recital. You may also follow us on Facebook to keep up with the latest Stephanie’s Dancers news!
How can I get in touch with my child’s dance teacher?
Instructors can be contacted via email. Please do not try to catch an instructor between classes. Class schedules are very tight and our instructors would like to give your questions and concerns proper attention.

Our recitals are scheduled for the third Saturday in May at the Columbia County Performing Arts Center. It is a continuous running show and lasts approximately 2 hours.
