Parent questions

Lyrical & contemporary FAQs

Does my child need dance experience?

No. The class is open to dancers ages 7–13, including beginners. Dancers with ballet experience will build on it, and new dancers learn the basics step by step.

What's the difference between lyrical and contemporary?

Lyrical brings the music and lyrics of a song to life with flowing movement, graceful turns, and leaps. Contemporary adds floor work, creative movement, and more freedom of expression. This class combines both.

When does the class meet?

Mondays and Wednesdays from 5:30 to 6:15 PM at our studio in Sandy, starting Monday, January 4, 2027. It's right after Kids Ballroom (4:45–5:30) and right before Junior Ballet (6:15).

Is the first week really free?

Yes. The first week, January 4 and January 6, is free, so your dancer can try the class before you enroll.

How much does it cost after the first week?

Tuition is based on how many hours your dancer takes each week, starting at $60 a month for one class a week. Siblings after the first get 5% off. See tuition.

What should my dancer wear?

Fitted clothes they can move in, bare feet or foot undies, and hair pulled back. Bring a water bottle.

Can my child take this with ballet or ballroom?

Yes. It sits between Kids Ballroom and Junior Ballet, so dancers can take two or three classes back to back on Mondays and Wednesdays.
