Your Questions, Answered
-
Stress-free dress code: Just wear comfortable athletic wear and bare feet!
General Dress Code: No dress code required—just comfortable clothes! (Note: Our regular dress code for ages 7+ does not apply to mini-sessions).
Tap Classes: Tap shoes are encouraged, but we have free loaner tap shoes available! Just bring socks. Planning to stay beyond the mini sessions? Dancers will eventually need solid black tap shoes.
Ballet Classes: Regular activewear is perfect. If you register for both sessions (8 weeks), we recommend a solid black leotard and pink ballet slippers so we can check alignment.
⚠️ Pro-Tip for Ages 7+: Thinking about joining our regular season after the mini session? Check our official dress code with us before buying any new gear so you don't have to purchase things twice!

If your dancer’s birthday falls during their mini session—or within the next 2 months—you are welcome to choose either eligible age group. Pick whichever class style and time fits your family's schedule best!
-
No. We are unable to offer refunds, make-up classes, or price adjustments for missed days. Here is why we keep this policy strict:
🔒 Your spot is completely reserved: Once you register, your child's spot is locked in for all 4 consecutive weeks. No other dancer can take that seat in class.
👥 We protect our small class sizes: We limit our enrollment numbers to ensure every child gets expert, individualized attention. Because we don't overfill classes, we can't fill a spot if someone is absent.
-
No, our 4-week mini sessions do not include a performance. However, our studio loves hit-the-stage moments! We host two major showcase events every year:
🍂 Fall Show * 🌸 Spring Recital
Want your dancer to perform on stage? If your child catches the dance bug during their mini session, you can seamlessly register them to continue dancing with us for the regular season! They’ll get to learn a routine, wear a fun costume, and perform in our next big show.
-
No, our mini sessions are exclusively for families new to our studio. * 🌟 An Extended Trial: These 4-week sessions are designed as a low-pressure introduction to dance for brand-new students.
🚫 The 12-Month Rule: Dancers who are currently enrolled—or have been registered with Elevate Motion Studio within the past 12 months—are not eligible to sign up.
-
Very little! We keep it super simple so you can just walk right in. * 💧 Bring this: A water bottle clearly labeled with your child's name.
❌ Skip this: You do not need to print out any confirmation emails, tickets, or receipts. We already have a digital record of your registration and will be ready to check you in!
