General Guidelines

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. 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. Director’s approval is required for all Pre-Professional course enrollments.

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.
