All Academy classes are $180/student with a 50% discount available for those registering siblings or for those registering for more than one class. Once we have received your submission, we will calculate your total amount due and send you the link to our PayPal account to process payment! Please submit one form for each student enrolling.

DANCE CLASSES
-For all Dance Classes featuring a “Beginning” or “Intermediate/Advanced” designation in the title, please sign your student up (or yourself) for the class you feel they belong in, but if we need to make a change, we will place the students in a different dance level if their ability is noticeably beyond or below the other enrolled students in that class. This is not to separate good dancers from bad dancers, or an A Team from a B Team. This is to put our students in a class level that is appropriate for them to learn and the teachers to teach. One semester of “Beginning” does not qualify you for being in the Intermediate class the next semester. It takes TIME for the body to adapt to dancing. If the appropriate level does not fit with your schedule, we also are very happy to offer private dance lessons.
-**The Adult Dance Classes will be for adults, while the other classes will for Kids and Teens.**

Also this semester we are very pleased to offer PRIVATE DANCE LESSONS! These lessons will be one on one with your student and one of our accomplished Dance Instructors. Scheduling will be determined by you and the instructor. There is no better way to improve your dancing! We are still offering PRIVATE VOICE LESSONS as well. If you register for those below, we will contact you for scheduling and teacher preferences.

We will email you a PayPal invoice for class payment within 1 business day of registration for classes.

FALL SEMESTER COVID-19 PROTOCOLS
The following protocols come directly from the GTC board, producers, and company as a whole. These are the same protocols we are observing for mainstage productions.

These are subject to change, we will inform you immediately if and when they do.

Our focus this year has been to prevent death and serious illness while ensuring we have as many shows as safely possible. While the overall numbers of Covid have risen, the deaths and hospital capacity remain steady. In addition, every person ages 6 months and older now have the capacity to be fully vaccinated.
With all of the above, this is the new policy effective Saturday, July 30:
 1. If you are Covid + you must isolate for 5 days and may return to rehearsals or performances wearing a mask at all times for an additional 5 days as long as you are asymptomatic.
 2. There is no testing requirement regardless of vaccination status.
 3. There is no masking requirement regardless of vaccination status.
 4. The Covid committee can reinstate the previous policy at any time given current circumstances.
 5. If testing must resume, cast and crew members must supply their own tests.
