Class Information

Tuition

All Recreational and Performing Arts classes are run in a nine month program from September until June. Yearly tuition covers approximately 30 dance classes this year, due to construction, plus dress rehearsal and is divided into nine monthly payments. All holidays and breaks are accounted for so that every class has the same number of dance classes in the 9 month dance year.

Dress Code

For your convenience, all Dress Code items may be purchased at Prairie School of Dance.

Health & Safety

To foster a healthy dance community, we continue to evolve our safety plans to meet the needs of our dancers and larger community. Masks are optional for dancers and families inside our buildings.

If your dancer is not feeling well, please stay home and join us back in the studio when you are feeling healthy! Dancers should always be 24 hours free of a fever before attending class.

Please follow the CDC’s Guidelines if you have been exposed or have tested positive for COVID-19.
