There will be a festival fee charged to your account of $90 per student on February 1st, 2025 to cover related expenses

There is a dress code for all classes in order to set students up for success - CLICK ON ANY PICTURE BELOW FOR DETAILS
New Heights Dance stocks leotards, tights, and shoes for purchase in our studio. Please visit our "shop dance wear" page for some more options
Hair should be pulled back and out of the student's face for all classes
Students should not arrive to class in their clothes from school - they should have a change of clothes for dance- even if their school wear loosely fits into a dress code requirement. It is important for them to feel mentally prepared for dance class, and part of that is being in dance specific attire.
For summer camps, please send students in clothes they can comfortably move in (including doing tumbling). Leotard and tights, or athletic wear with leggings are great options.

Please drop off and pick-up your student within 10 minutes of their class time.
The entrance is on the south (right) side of the building. As soon as you walk around the corner, you'll see an entrance through a fence- that's us!
The outdoor waiting area is provided for parents to wait during class if you wish to stay
You will pick your students up from the side patio as well.
Parking is available directly in front of the building. You may also utilize the church lot across the street - park anywhere in the lot - they will not close the gates or tow! You can also park along Keyes Ave (again, the church will not tow) - OR after 6pm you can park in front of the gates at the gym next door. Please plan ahead for parking!
