PCA offers combination, single discipline, and competitive dance classes. Students will be placed into classes based on previous experience (for returning students) or by instructor evaluation (for new students). If at any time the instructor feels a student needs to be moved to another class – the parent/guardian will be advised. Consistent attendance is a must for every dancer. Students missing multiple classes will be removed from the program. Missed classes may ONLY be made up if a phone call is received 2 hours prior to the student's class – tuition will not be credited for missed classes. There is an $80 per class costume fee due by October 1.
