What to consider when choosing

a studio for your child?

 

1. Am I able to observe my child during class?

Of course! We strongly encourage it. At TND we have one-way observation windows where you can observe your child’s class anytime. It is also beneficial to prospective students and their parents to see what a class at TND is like.

 

2. What is the average class size?

Typically our dance classes have 10 students and our gymnastics/tumbling classes have between 8-10 students.

 

3. Will my child have the opportunity to participate in performances and what's involved?

At TND we afford our students the opportunity to participate in two performances per year; one at Christmas time and one in the spring. Students that perform in the recitals usually have one costume, unless they're attending multiple classes throughout the week. We select quality, company-made costumes for our students that function as a two-in-one costume. The costumes can easily and creatively be converted for ballet/tap numbers and even gymnastics/jazz/hip hop numbers. We do all the measuring and ordering of costumes.        

 

4. Can I get immediate assistance and customer service?

We believe it is important that you have the ability to ask questions concerning costumes, schedules, payments, etc. when the need arises. Our teachers spend their time in the classroom with your children, and our Office Assistants are located at the front counter to assist you. Our goal is to provide all parents with the customer service they deserve.

 

5. Do you offer online payment or Recurring Billing/Auto Draft for fees?

At TND we offer parents the convenience of accessing their TND account 24-7. We use AKADA-DanceWorks for safely managing all our accounts. With an activated account, parents can set-up a password upon enrollment, and begin utilizing the online system. Parents can update personal information in the system as needed, view their child’s classes, review TND policies, and make payments for posted charges. In addition, if you’d like to utilize auto draft, just enter your credit card information on your account page and don't forget to check the box indicating that you'd like to participate in RECURRING BILLING.
