MRS. ERICA'S BALLET DANCE CLASSES
Thank you for your interest in Ms. Erica’s Ballet. I want to thank all continuing students who have made this studio possible and I’m excited to meet those who are new.
My goal is to instill a love of classical ballet and classical music through a positive, productive, and professional atmosphere. My hope is that children will gain confidence, make friends, and develop poise through both personal expression and proper technique. My program includes performance and service opportunities. In December, we will perform at a nursing home, and in May, we will put on a recital free to family and friends. (Pre-covid days of course. We'll adapt as needed)

Location
- Classes are held in my home: 3530 East Contessa Circle, Mesa, AZ 85213
- Performance locations will be announced prior to the event
- Monday from 10:00, students aged 3-5
- Monday from 3:30, students aged 5-7
- All classes last for fifty minutes
- Spring semester will begin on January 11
- Fall semester will start on August 16
We follow the Mesa Public Schools calendar which means we occasionally run into Monday holidays. I will not teach on those days, but I will make-up those classes the following Friday of the same week at their normal class time.
Dancers need to wear a leotard and ballet slippers each week (tutus and tights are optional). For the performance in December and May, they will need to wear light pink tights, light pink/tan ballet slippers, and any style black leotard along with their provided tutu. I have found that the best quality of dance attire and slippers for the least amount of money is at Walmart or Target.
Please help them put their ballet slippers on their feet with the ties double knotted before class begins, or else I spend much of class assisting with this instead of teaching. Also, please have your dancer use the restroom before class starts. For some reason, if one student has to go, they suddenly all need to go. Additionally, it has been my experience that the class is much more productive when parents aren’t in attendance as it becomes a distraction. Please arrange to drop off your child at the appointed time, and pick them up promptly at the end of class. We will be waiting in the front yard for you to walk with your child to your car.
Each semester is $200.00. You may pay this upfront or in monthly installments of $40. This cost also covers the tutus the dancers get to keep for the Spring recital. Upon registration, a $40 non-refundable registration fee is required which will both reserve your student's spot in the class and cover the class fee for the month of August (or, for the spring semester, January). Finally, you may pay by check/cash or Venmo. My Venmo is @Erica-Soelberg
I am excited to get started! Let me know if you have any questions!
