MS. 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.

We follow the Mesa Public Schools calendar which means we occasionally run into Monday holidays. I will not teach on those days and I will not make-up those classes. The Monday students may, however, join the Tuesday class as a make-up. If for some reason I have to cancel class then I will make-up those classes.
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, black leotard, and light pink ballet slippers along with their provided costume. I have found that the best qualify of slipper for the least amount of money is at Payless Shoes.
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 a distraction. Please arrange to drop off your child at the appointed time and pick them up promptly at the end of class.
Each semester is $200.00. You may pay this upfront or in monthly installments of $40.00. This cost also covers the costumes dancers get to keep for the Spring recital. Upon registration, a $40.00 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 (Fall) or January (Spring). Finally, you may pay by check/cash or online through either Square or Venmo.
I am excited to get started! Let me know if you have any questions.
