Your child will learn more extensive ballet, jazz, and tap exercises. This is a combination class for your child for ages 6 & 7 and up- both ballet and tap shoes are required.
All Dance classes begin in the fall and progress through the spring and summer session. Do not register for a higher level in the spring or summer. For beginner and lower-level classes, new students should enroll according to the age requirements specified below. New students with previous training and any student with questions regarding proper class placement should call Carolyn Hanna at 903-510-2483 or email chan3@tjc.edu for information and director’s approval before enrolling.
Enrollments are accepted on a “first come, first served” basis. ENROLL EARLY TO GUARANTEE ENTRY, as the dance program limits class sizes, and classes will be closed when enrollment quotas are met. Late enrollments after the session begins will be accepted on a space-available basis only.
We reserve the right to cancel classes not meeting enrollment quota, for 80% refund or transfer into another dance class. Class schedule may be subject to change after publication of this booklet. It is requested that all dance students register through the TJC West either by phone or by Internet. For registration only, call 903-510-2900. All other inquiries, call 903-510-2483.
Parking Permits can be emailed upon request to access student parking lots. Non-permitted parking is always available on the surrounding and adjacent streets to our building. Please do not park in the Tyler Museum of Art lot. All Academy of Dance classes are held in the Ornelas Center for Band, Apache Belles & Dance (formerly Ornelas Health & Physical Education building).
Missed classes may be made up in a comparable or lower-level class at any time; ask your instructor as to which class to attend. Make-up classes for missed or canceled classes may be taken at any time during the session, but make-up classes cannot be “rolled over” into a future semester. Making up missed classes is optional. There are no refunds for missed classes, regardless of the circumstances. Students who discontinue attendance at classes enrolled may not transfer their enrollment to another student, nor are there refunds for non-attendance.
In case of classes canceled due to instructor illness or threatening weather, it shall be at the instructor’s discretion to schedule an extra makeup class, or to have students attend another class already in session.
Students may not substitute optional classes for required classes, nor substitute classes from another level without approval of instructor/director.
† A $50 discount will be given to students who enroll in three or more classes.
