July 7th – August 15th
Welcome to our summer program! Summer is a great time to take classes without the stress of school and homework. Students are encouraged to take multiple classes in order to maintain strength and advance for our school year program. Continuing students should remain in their current level of class. Teachers will notify students if level changes should be made.
Please sign up early to get your first preference for class times. Sign-ups begin Thursday, May 15th and will continue through July 7th or until classes are full. A $50.00 non-refundable and non-transferable deposit is required (per student) upon registration in order to guarantee your spot. The balance will be due upon the first day of summer classes. Tuition will be pro-rated for summer vacations (unlimited students must be missing at least 2 weeks in order to have tuition pro-rated). SBDC needs to be notified of specific vacation dates at time of registration. Please note that all tuition is non-refundable after the summer session begins.
New this summer to South Bay Dance Center are Dance Camps for students ages 6-12 and Level IB Prep and up. We have exciting themes planned throughout the summer session. Please contact the studio for additional information, or check the bulletin board for additional information and prices.
