Do your students teach any classes?
No. At Villa Dance Company, students are not permitted to teach classes. All instruction is led by certified teachers. Student helpers may assist in class with activities, technique support, and shoe changes, but your child’s dance and tumbling education is always in the hands of trained professionals.

 

When is registration?
Summer program registration opens in June Registration for our full-year classes typically begins early August for current families and mid August for new students.

 

At what age can children begin dance and tumbling lessons?
We offer instruction for boys and girls ages 3 and up. Students must be 3 years old by the fall of the registration year. If you have further questions on this, we ask you contact our office.

 

Do children need to be potty trained?
We prefer that children are out of diapers. Pull-ups are acceptable in our youngest classes.

 

Do boys take dance classes?
Yes! We proudly have several male dancers. We offer co-ed classes as well as a boys-only hip-hop and tumbling combo. Our male students participate recreationally and competitively in styles such as ballet, jazz, tap, clogging, hip hop, and tumbling.

 

What is the required classroom attire?
All students must wear proper shoes for their class style and movement-appropriate clothing.

• Girls: Leotards, tights, leggings, or spandex

• Boys: Snug t-shirts and athletic wear
  Teachers must be able to see body lines to provide effective feedback. Specific brands and colors of shoes are required. Please refer to our full dress code policy for details.

 

How long is the dance year?
Our season runs from September through June. We also offer a variety of summer classes in a shorter session format.

 

Are students placed in classes strictly by age?
We initially place students by age, but instructors may move students based on skill level and classroom fit to ensure the best learning experience.

 

How is level placement determined?
Our curriculum is designed for students to be placed with dancers of their ability. Classes are tailored to student needs and progress accordingly. Higher levels do not necessarily mean more advanced technique—placement is based on each student’s readiness and focus.

• The first year typically introduces the curriculum.

• Following years build mastery and technique.
   

When is tuition due?
Tuition is due on the 1st of each month and must be paid online. We do not send paper bills. A reminder email will be sent if payment is not received by the 10th. A $15 late fee applies after the 10th. Auto-pay is highly recommended to avoid late fees. Visit the Parent Portal to manage your billing.

 

Is the recital mandatory?
Participation in our end-of-year recital is optional. Students who opt out will still learn the routines but are not required to purchase costumes, attend photo day, or perform on stage.

 

Do you work on recital all year long?
No. We begin recital choreography after the first of the year and continue through April. However, all classes still include stretching, warm-ups, and technique throughout the year to ensure growth and readiness for performance.

 

Do you host tryouts for your competitive team?
No. Our Company Team dancers are selected by instructors through in-class evaluations and live performance observation. Placement is based on technique, ability, attitude, classroom attendance, stage presence, and willingness to learn.
