JOIN THE SCHOTIME FAMILY

Every dancer starts somewhere. Whether it’s their very first dance class or they’re looking for a studio where they can truly thrive, we’re so glad you’re here!

At Schotime Dance Center, we’re more than just dance classes. We’re a community that helps kids build confidence, friendships, discipline, and a lifelong love of movement. Our goal is for every dancer who walks through our doors to leave stronger, more confident, and excited to come back.

New students are invited to get started with a FREE trial class! We’d love the opportunity to meet your dancer and help you find the perfect fit.

If you’re ready to enroll, we recommend registering early to get the best selection of class times. You can view our current 2026 Summer Schedule or our upcoming Fall Schedule to find your favorite class options, and simply register online here!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Tuition is paid through your online parent portal and is automatically processed on the 1st of each month. We accept major credit and debit cards. Tuition is averaged across the season, so monthly payments remain consistent regardless of the number of classes in a given month, with the exception of our summer session which is a one time separate payment.

For safety and hygiene reasons, dancers in our independent classes must be fully potty trained. Our Dance With Me classes for ages 0-3 allow a caregiver to participate alongside the child.

Our PreScho classes are the perfect introduction to dance for ages 3-5! Dancers wear ballet shoes and learn foundational dance skills through movement, music, imagination, and fun.

While ballet fundamentals are at the heart of our curriculum, dancers are also introduced to elements of jazz, creative movement, musicality, and coordination. Each class follows a consistent routine so dancers know what to expect and can build confidence, while exciting new themes and music keep every month fresh and engaging.

As dancers grow through our PreScho program, they eventually graduate into style-specific classes in Level C, including:

  • Twirl – Ballet
  • Pizazz – Jazz
  • Tiny Taps – Tap
  • Hip-Hop Flip-Flop – Hip Hop with beginner tumbling and acro

Our goal is to help young dancers build confidence, coordination, classroom skills, and a love of dance while discovering which styles they enjoy most.

You may withdraw from classes at any time by notifying us before the 1st of the month. Withdrawals received after the 1st will be responsible for that month’s tuition. Registration fees are non-refundable.

Yes! All three of our studios have observation windows where parents are welcome to watch class. To protect the privacy of our dancers and minimize distractions, we ask that families refrain from taking photos or videos during class. We also offer our Mini SchoCase days throughout the season when photos and videos are encouraged and you’re invited to come watch inside the dance room.

Absolutely! Many of our families choose to drop off and return at pickup. Our staff works hard to create a safe, welcoming environment where dancers can build confidence and independence. While you’re always welcome to stay and watch through our observation windows, our waiting areas can become busy during peak class times, making drop-off a convenient option for many families.

Yes! We believe performing is one of the most rewarding parts of dance education. Dancers have the opportunity to participate in our annual recital, and we also have what we call Mini SchoCases scheduled throughout the season for our dancers to perform for their families.

Dance skills build on one another just like reading, sports, or music. Consistent training helps dancers develop strength, flexibility, technique, confidence, and friendships while allowing them to progress safely and successfully. If you dance year-round with us you never have to pay a registration fee again, and get priority selection for your favorite classes.

Our classes are designed as part of a structured season, so we do not typically offer drop-in classes. However, we do have a simple cancellation policy with no long-term contracts, so if you’d like to try dance for a month or two, that’s absolutely an option! We also offer camps, workshops, and trial opportunities throughout the year.

We do not offer account freezes or holds during the dance season. If your family needs to discontinue classes, you may withdraw according to our withdrawal policy and re-enroll later if space is available.

Just like you would wear cleats and shin guards to soccer, the proper shoes and attire are an important part of dance class. Wearing the correct dancewear allows teachers to see alignment and technique, while proper dance shoes help dancers move safely and correctly.

All dancers should have their hair pulled back away from their face and should not wear dangling jewelry for safety reasons.
