sierra dance institute

 Come in to the studio during class hours, fill out a registration form, and start class that very day, if you can! 

 Some students prefer to settle into their school routine before starting dance again, and that's fine. Join us when you're ready! 

 Of course! Our drop in fee is $15. The only time we don't recommend drop ins is right before a performance, when classes are running a lot of choreography.  

 For anyone over the age of 6, please talk to George or another dance instructor about placement. Except for our PreDance and KidDance classes, we sort you into levels based on your technical ability, not your age.
Returning students should also ask about their placement. A new year does not necessarily mean you should be moving on to a higher level. It takes many students 2 or more years to master a class. Don't rush, enjoy the dance journey! 

  Although we don't have a dress code, we do ask that you keep your clothing modest. Please, no low cut tops baring a lot of cleavage, or shorts that allow your cheeks to show. If you find yourself tugging your clothing into place during class, you may want to rethink your outfit. Remember that you'll be spending a great deal of time looking at your own reflection in the mirror, so wear something that makes you feel good about yourself.  For ballet, it is best to wear a leotard with tights and a skirt.  Ballet slippers, jazz shoes, socks, or modern shoes are all acceptable choices for most classes. Sneakers or boots recommended for hip hop (please make sure they're clean!).  

 Tuition is due on the first of the month, prompt payments are appreciated! We accept cash and checks only, no credit card payments.
We certainly understand that everyone gets paid on certain days, and paying for dance classes on the first of the month just isn't possible. That's OK, as long as you make a habit of paying on a day that works well for you. Payments in advance are accepted as well (If you really want to, you can pay for your entire year up front!).
