In general, close-fitting clothing that allows the dancer to feel comfortable and allows for proper instruction is recommended. Dance attire is not required. No costumes or tutus, please. Students should wear ballet flats for ballet class, variations, and repertoire. Character or jazz shoes are recommended for Character class. 

Lunch is not provided for our Adult Intensive students. There are a number of restaurants in the area surrounding Joffrey Tower. A fridge and microwave will not be available to those bringing a packed lunch.

Beginner II

Dancers will develop the basic technique and start to expand their terminology and use of arms and legs at the barre and the center. Beginner II requires basic ballet knowledge and is not suggested for those who have never danced before. 

Intermediate

A well-rounded class for those looking for expanded terminology and technical challenges. It is recommended that dancers are well versed in ballet terms as the pace of the class will move quicker than the beginner levels. Longer exercises with more steps are also introduced at this level.

Adult Division Cancelation Policy

Adult students who have registered for a class in advance but are unable to attend may contact the academy and request that their class registration be canceled. Canceling registration will result in a credit in the amount of the class price being added to their account. Credits may be used towards any future registration. Credits do expire 90 days after they've been added to the account.

Adult Division Refund Policy

Adult Arrival/Departure Policy

We kindly ask that Adult students arrive no more than 30 minutes prior to the start of their class and leave promptly within 15 minutes of their class ending. This is to ensure the safety of all students at the Academy and the security of our buildings.
