Can I change clothes at DANZA?
Yes, but it is encouraged to arrive at the studio ready to go for class: hair in bun, ballet attire underneath street clothes and be prepared to remove street shoes and clothing prior to entering the studio.
What time do I arrive for class?
Students should arrive approximately 15 minutes prior to the start of class to warm-up. We recommend you arrive dressed to save as much time as possible. To ensure each class runs on time, parents are expected to pick up their child promptly at the conclusion of class. This is strictly enforced.
If I am running late, how late can I enter?
All students must be in the studio and ready at the start of their class. You may enter class no later than 10 minutes. It is vital to arrive on time not only because class time is limited, but in order to prevent injuries. If late, wait for the exercise in progress to be over before quietly taking an open place in a manner that will not disturb the class. If later than 10 minutes, the student may observe class.
Do you offer private instruction?
Yes, private instruction is on a first-come first-served basis. Packages available for a reduced price. Please email for details.
Are classes open to observation?
No. DANZA, Center for the Arts has a policy of no observation by parents nor outside guests, as it is disruptive to both the teacher and the students.

Absolutely no gum, food, or drink, other than water in a sealed container, is allowed inside the studio.
Do you offer studio rental?
