Simply click on  "contact us"  or send an email to [email protected] and state your dancers name, age, and previous experience if applicable.  FDP will then send you class offerings.  Once you have accepted the classes your dancer would like, you will then be asked  for a non-refundable one time registration fee for competitive dancers or your first month's tuition for non-competitive classes to secure your dancer's enrollment.  Each month's tuition is due on the first of each month. 

FDP students are NOT required to compete and may opt to take class only and participate in optional community performances.  FDP does ask for prior communication regarding scheduling conflicts whenever possible and is MUCH appreciated.

YES!! I am proud to announce our annual recital will take place every July.  Participation is optional.

FDP recognizes and appreciates the benefits of engaging in multiple activities and with prior knowledge of other commitments, FDP is often able to work with busy schedules.   While attendance at scheduled competitions IS MANDATORY, an arrangement can be made that allows dancers to remain in the piece  during the rehearsal period if they need to miss rehearsals due to other activities.   Such arrangements may include removal from some sections of a piece or altered spacing placements to eliminate confusion among teammates.  This arrangement still allows the dancer to participate with minimal disruption to fellow teammates. 

-For competitive dancers:
-there is a one-time, non-refundable registration fee of $30 per family for the year.  This is collected in September.

 -Each dancer will need to purchase one costume/prop for each TEAM class per year.  This cost typically ranges  between $110-$125 depending on sizing and style and may include an amount needed for props for that particular team when applicable. New dancers will need to purchase a team jacket which typically ranges in cost from $60-75. They will wear this jacket for multiple years.
 
-Competition fees are set by the individual competition companies and exact cost for each entry fee  will be disclosed by email once all 3 events have been chosen.  

For non-competitive classes:

-dancers will need their own proper dance shoes for class.

-a costume will need to be purchased if a performance is scheduled.

FDP is ALWAYS accepting new students.  As soon as enough students are pre-registered, FDP will be able to create another class to accommodate new students.  There is no cost to pre-register. To Pre-register, please click on "contact me" and fill out the form with your requests. 

Additional teams may be added as well when needed.

 FDP will create teams according to age and artistic visions.  FDP strives to create teams that will benefit the growth of each dancer with the best of intentions.  FDP will offer these team options to your dancer and you may choose to accept or decline any group team offers.  

FDP offers any new student an opportunity to attend a class before making the monthly payment.   If you choose to enroll, you will be billed for the monthly amount (pro-rated from start date).  Because of this offer, refunds will not be offered.  In the event your child needs to withdraw from classes, 30 day notification is required to avoid monthly tuition billed to your account.

FDP takes great pride in selecting music and costuming that is age-appropriate. Music with concerning  or suggestive lyrics will be edited or not used during class or in competitive pieces.  Costuming will be carefully selected to fit the artistic vision of the piece while keeping the dancer's confidence in mind.  

Your monthly tuition holds your dancer's spot in class.  FDP is unable to pro-rate tuition if your dancer is unable to attend class for any reason.   In the event FDP needs to cancel class, a make-up class will be offered.  

If  available, your dancer MAY be offered the opportunity to attend a make up class.

Yes, FDP dancers may take dance classes elsewhere to enhance their dance education, however, FDP dancers may NOT compete with another studio and must be present for FDP rehearsals.  

FDP believes all children should be granted access to a quality dance education and experience, therefore, no audition is required to join our family.  New students will be assessed during foundation technique classes for consideration onto a competitive dance team.  Occasional auditions may occur when small group sizes limit the amount of dancers and there is a  greater interest than open positions within that group.  FDP realizes that auditions are a part of life in the arts and will incorporate auditioning skills into technique classes to help students prepare for audition settings.

yes, FDP will work to  accommodate those requesting private instruction and rehearsal arrangements will be made on an individual basis.  Those wishing to compete a solo/duo/trio for competition must submit a request by email.
