How to register for a class or trial:


Age Group/ Levels

The School at Peridance will place all students into the most appropriate level allowing them to progress safely through our programs.

• All students are generally placed in classes by age with utmost consideration for level and experience.
• Final placements will be determined after the first few weeks, once we have a full assessment of individual students and all classes.
• A trial or placement class may be recommended to determine proper fit of level and ability for each class

Trial Classes

Trial classes are offered during the first week of the semester. You may register for a trial by completing the registration form. Trial classes are $35.00, hold a dancer's spot in the class for the semester, and would be applied towards tuition for the class if they do decide to enroll. After a trial class, a school administrator will reach out to confirm class placement and finalize registration. Tuition must be submitted before the student's first official class of the semester or a late tuition fee will be applied.



Prorated Tuition

The School at Peridance will happily welcome new students into our programs should we have space available in the class. Students will be required to take a trial class first to ensure they are placed in the appropriate level and that both the teacher and student feel they are able to join in the curriculum with a late start. Prorated tuition is not offered by week but in three separate enrollment periods over the course of the semester.



Referral Discount (New for Fall 2023!)

Current families who refer a new family who enroll in The School at Peridance can each receive $50.00 off their tuition. New students must note the family who referred them in their registration form and referral credits will be included in each family's tuition invoice. Referrals received after Fall tuition was submitted can be credited towards future tuition. Credits expire one year after the date of issue. If the new student is attending their first class as a trial, referral credits will only be issued once the new student enrolls for the semester.



Spring Performances

All students enrolled in the Spring Semester (excluding Parent & Toddler and Toddler Dancing) are part of our end of year concerts! Concert dates will be announced at the beginning of the Spring Semester. Attendance in all classes two weeks before the performance date and attendance at tech/dress rehearsal is mandatory in order to perform!

Make-up Classes

We cannot allow make-up classes except in cases of illness. We regret this policy, but it is unavoidable due to the limit of students per class.

Make-up classes may be scheduled in the same or similar class levels and must be done through the school administrator in advance.
