What makes Rhythm so special?
We offer a quality program of pre-dance, tap, jazz, hip hop, lyrical, acrobatics, and ballet set in a wholesome environment where positive attitudes are encouraged. In addition to our curriculum, we believe that values learned in the formative years carry over to the other areas of the students' lives and help propel them to success. Our children's program is second to none. We have a well-planned, well-written syllabus with superior teachers who prove invaluable in making the children feel special and in knowing what works and what doesn't.

Do you have a professional teaching staff?
Yes, we do. (Their resumes can be found in the faculty section of the website.) All have many things in common: they love dance; they love children; they are experienced teachers who epitomize excellence; they keep up with the latest moves by taking classes in New York and Los Angeles; they are constantly striving for new and innovative ways to keep their curriculum fresh and exciting.

What is the age range and experience necessary to participate in your program?
We offer classes for students ranging from 2 ½ years old and up and classes for beginner, intermediate, and advanced students. It is our goal to provide your child with a class in which he or she feels comfortable while being challenged.

Do you have competition teams?
Yes, we do. Being involved in competition can be a rewarding experience for dancers of all ages. In August, auditions are held to choose team members. An entire day is scheduled for these tryouts. All, including the present Rhythm members, are required to audition. Any student who has never competed with Rhythm is also invited to participate. All decisions are made by qualified and impartial judges.

Do you have a yearly recital?
Yes, our dress rehearsal and dance recital will be held in May. The costumes are affordable with deposits due in October. The costume balance is due in February. A fee to rent the auditorium is due in March. All accounts (including the May tuition) are due in full no later than April 18th. No costume will be given to a student until all fees are paid.

Can my child take classes whenever he/she wants and what type of commitment is expected?
Our dance program places dancers according
to their level and age. A commitment to
class attendance is extremely important for a dancer’s progress. A student is expected to pay every month
regardless of how many classes are missed.
Missed or cancelled classes may be made up on a similar level. No
refunds or reductions are given for missed classes.

Am I allowed to watch my child in class?
All classes are closed for viewing so that teachers and students can retain their focus without distraction. But remember, all of our dance studios have two-way mirrors so parents may observe whenever they like.

Is there a dress code?
No, we do not have a mandatory dress code that applies to all classes; however, certain classes will require certain attire. For students in Ballet I-V or Acrobatics class, dress code information will be given in class. We do ask that all tap classes wear black tap shoes and all ballet classes wear pink ballet shoes. If your child participates in jazz, then black jazz shoes are required.
