Q: How old does my child need to be to start classes?
A: We have classes for students ages 2 years and up!
Q: What should my student wear to class?
A: You can find our class requirements on our Read Me page.
Q: Where should I buy shoes for class?
A: We have all shoes available to purchase at the studio! There are also other choices to purchasing shoes locally.
Q: Should I stay at the studio while my child is in class?
A: While we do suggest if your student is under the age of 5 that a suitable adult is present, it is entirely up to you and your family! We do have a waiting room with a monitor so you may watch your student's class. We also hold “Come On In!” the 3rd week of each month where we invite our family and friends to observe the last 5-10 minutes of class!
Q: How should our hair be done for class?
A: Hair should always be secured away and out of a student's face. Ballet classes have a strict policy where hair must be secured into a neat bun.

A: We have a very helpful pricing page that should answer your questions!
Q: Will my student get to perform?
A: YES! This is the very best part of taking a dance, tumbling, or cheer class at APAC! We offer our annual recital for Academy and Competition students. Our End of the Year Recital is our blowout show with costumes, stage sets, and profession lighting! This is something you do not want to miss!
*Please note: Leaps and Turns, and other technique only classes will not have a performance dance, they are strictly technique classes.

A: Costumes for our educational programs are beautifully selected by our faculty and director. These costumes run $90-$115/dance.
