Question 1

General Rules

Accepted Answer

Parents, please discuss these rules with your dancers prior to class to help ensure a smooth and successful classroom experience. Thank you!
 • Food & Drinks: Water is the only beverage allowed in our classrooms. Food and drinks should not be brought into the studio unless you have a dinner break between multiple classes. If this pertains to you, all food and drinks MUST remain out in the lobby area and you are responsible for cleaning up after yourself. PLEASE be responsible and respectful of our new studio space and help us keep it beautiful and clean!
 • Drop off / Pickup: Dancers 7 & under should be walked inside by a parent/guardian.  Dancers 9 & under must be picked up inside by a parent/guardian. A staff member will be at the front door to assist dancers being dropped off & picked up.  Older dancers (with parent permission) may enter/exit on their own.  Our lobby is smaller now, so please limit extra family members inside and try to enter closer to class time to help reduce congestion.   Should this policy change once the season gets started, we will communicate that accordingly. 
 • Please make an effort to be prompt! *We cannot be responsible for your child after class.*
 • PRE-SCHOOL & KINDERGARTEN GUARDIANS – Please take your dancer to the restroom before class begins to avoid accidents. :-)
 • Please stop and check in with the front desk staff member upon arrival.  When teachers are ready for their classes to enter, the front desk staff will let you know.
 • Please keep an eye on your children, and help us keep everyone safe by keeping them or siblings from running or climbing on furniture, etc.
 • No cell phones are permitted once classes have begun. Please turn off cell phones before entering the class.  Should a parent need to be contacted, this will be handled by our front desk staff.
 • No GUM allowed in the studio.
 • Please write your child's name or initials in all dance shoes. 
 • We are not responsible for lost or stolen items at the studio. Please check the lost & found bin for items. All items not claimed are donated to charity monthly. 
 • No outside street shoes are permitted on our classroom floors.
 • Class Observation: After the 1st two weeks of the season, we do not allow parents, friends, or siblings in the classroom at anytime unless your teacher invites you in. This allows our students to completely focus on learning and for our staff to deliver the best quality class for your children. We can assure you that your children are in great hands! 
 • Our lobby space is now smaller, so seating is very limited.  We encourage families to drop dancers off and return at pickup time to help reduce congestion in the studio.  
 • Later in the season, we will host special Parent Observation Days so you can see all the progress your dancer has made. With our new  3-room setup, we are still finalizing the best way to organize this, and we will share details with you as the season goes on.

Question 2

What is required / dress code?

Accepted Answer

Requirements (attire, hair, shoes) will vary depending on the class your child is enrolled in. Hair should be pulled back off face for all classes. A bun must be worn for ballet class. Please refer to the Class Requirements (https://www.illuminationdance.com/requirements)page for more details.

Question 3

How does tuition work?

Accepted Answer

Our season runs from September through June. Tuition fees are for the entire season (10 months).  It is not based on the number of classes during a month, but on the entire duration of our season. Monthly tuition is due by the 10th of each month and you are strongly encouraged to sign up for Auto Pay.  Auto Pay runs on the 1st of each month.  Late fees will be assessed on the 11th of each month for any unpaid tuition fees.

Question 4

Do you have a recital?    Am I required to be in the recital?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We have one annual recital in June every year. Recital specifics are distributed around December/January of each season. 
No, you do not have to be in the recital; however, our classes are focused on recital preparation beginning in January.

Question 5

What additional costs are   there  in addition to monthly tuition?

Accepted Answer

During our regular season (September - June) you can expect the following 'extra' expenses:
 • Dancewear / shoes required for class(es) & Recital
 • Recital Costume(s)
 • Recital T-shirt
 • Pictures (optional)
 • More detailed pricing is distributed to you when classes begin in September.

Question 6

Do you offer any discounts?

Accepted Answer

Yes! A family discount is automatically applied to your monthly tuition rates if you have more than 1 dancer enrolled in classes. We also offer a MULTI-class discount too!  The more classes you take, the more you get off your monthly tuition.

Question 7

Do you offer classes for boys?

Accepted Answer

Yes, all of our classes are co-ed!  We currently offer a boys only Hip Hop class.

Question 8

How do I  sign up OR add a child to a class waitlist?

Accepted Answer

1. Click the Family Login (https://www.illuminationdance.com/faq)button at the top of this page.
2. Create an account (or log in if you already have one).
3. Create your child’s account inside DSPro and be sure their birthdate is correct (classes will only show up based on this).
4. There should be buttons to either “add to waitlist” (if a class is currently full) or you will be able to select the class if there is still availability.
