Class Schedule

Your Back to Dance Checklist

For the first class...

  • Arrive 5-10 minutes early to give your dancer time to use the washroom and change into their dance shoes/dancewear. You can review our dress code policies here.

  • Remember to bring a water bottle to stay hydrated during class.

  • Make sure to put your dancer's name on their dance bag, shoes, and water bottle.

  • When it's time for class to begin, teachers will come and line-up their class to bring them into the studio to start dancing.

  • Reminder - for dancers in hip hop, you need to have clean, indoor, non-marking runners.

Refer a friend and earn rewards!

 

Nothing is more fun than dancing with your friends. That's why we're kicking off the year with our most extravagant refer a friend program to date.

Refer 1 Friend - Earn a MAD superstar button

 

Refer 2 Friends - Earn a pen and a MAD superstar button

 

Refer 3 Friends - Earn notebook, a pen, and a MAD superstar button

 

Refer 4+ Friends - Earn a t-shirt or sweatshirt of your choice, a notebook, a pen, a MAD superstar button

Let's bring our community together, one dance step at a time, and make year 15 our biggest and best season yet.

 

Registering friend must be a new MAD student who registers for our full season 2024-25 dance classes and lists you as their referring friend when they register.

Order Your Dancewear
 

Did you double check your dancer's dance bag, only to realize their shoes don't fit anymore? Don't panic! We can get your new dancewear ordered. Throughout the month of September, we'll be placing orders every week to ensure you can get your dancer perfectly outfitted for dance class. Stop by the office today to get fitted.

Orders at this time of the season typically take 7-10 days to arrive. Dancers waiting on dancewear/shoes can participate in class in bare/feet and/or comfortable active wear in the interim.
