Registration

Register with the instructor during the registration week only on the day/time and location of the class you are signing up for. These instructors travel from site to site and so are only at your recreation center or class site on the day and times of their scheduled classes. Registration week is the only week that the instructor is able to accept registration for classes. Prior to registration, download and fill out the class registration form and release of liability (PDF) and bring the form along with payment to registration. If you are unable to download, the teacher will have copies on site that you can fill out. Many classes fill up, plan on attending registration day (or sending a friend with your payment and paperwork) to ensure your spot in the class.

• Most locations have multiple levels of instruction, open only by teacher promotion, therefore you must REGISTER WITH THE TEACHER.
• Classes listed are beginning levels, with more advanced levels at many centers by teachers' promotion and audition.
• NO REFUNDS are made unless the class location has been cancelled.
• The classes listed are subject to cancellation when enrollment minimums are not met and based on budgetary constraints.
• No classes: All City holidays, November 21 to 27, December 19 to January 8 (Winter Break), April 2 to April 15 (Spring Break)
• Please be advised that parents will not be allowed in the dance room to watch classes as it is disruptive to the students dancing. Parents may watch the last 5 minutes of class only.
