In memory of our dancer Paige Michael, whose final show with us was the 2023 presentation of The Nutcracker, please consider donating towards the Paige Michael Foundation (click here for their Facebook page for more information). Paige will always be remembered for living happily, selflessly, and with a song in her heart! She loved dance, but even more, she loved being with her friends and building community at our studio.

Late payment fee: In order to ensure that families stay current in their payment of tuition fees, all accounts that are two weeks or more behind will incur a $15 late charge to their account per 7-week session. To mark your calendar for session start dates, click here for our session dates.
-
Credit Card Fee: To avoid the 3% fee charged by the credit card company, you may drop off payment via cash or check prior to the auto run date for cards on file.
LOBBY DROP BOXES
Each lobby has a locked deposit box for you to drop off payments and/or paperwork when the office is closed. Please feel free to use this secure method to keep your account current and to return registration information.
LOST AND FOUND
We have a lost and found bin at each studio location for items that get left behind; however, this bin is emptied several times a year with unclaimed items donated to Goodwill or discarded. So don’t delay… look today for lost items!
DRESS CODE
Please click here for information regarding our dress code for each of our dance styles. It is important that you dress appropriately so that the instructor can make sure your technique and form are correct. For classes requiring dance shoes we recommend purchasing those shoes at The Dance Station. Slippers found at Walmart or discount stores are not recommended as it's hard for the instructor to see if the foot is properly pointed.
NOTES ON ATTIRE: Although it is becoming more common to see professionals in the dance industry wearing crop tops, halters and sports bras, our studio requires dancers come to class dressed modestly with their torsos covered. We strive to promote a level of confidence that focuses on dance and not body image; therefore, students will be asked to change if they come to class exposing their torso. If you have any questions or concerns about this, please contact the office. Thank you for helping us to provide a family friendly atmosphere at Cecil Dancenter.
BALLET SLIPPER TIP
Please tuck your dancers ballet slipper laces underneath the top of the shoe. The lace may be cut shorter so it's more comfortable for your child (just make sure to double knot the lace). This provides a more aesthetic look for the mature dancer and for our younger dancers it helps the child/teacher to spend time on instruction rather than tying shoe laces.
PRIVATE LESSONS
Private lessons are a great way for students to get personalized attention and individualized corrections. We have staff members available to give private dance lessons at a rate of $25-$82/hour. If you are interested in private lessons, please contact our office.
WALKING TRAILS
If you are looking to fill the time while your child is in dance class, we have walking trails behind the studio property that go behind both of the neighboring businesses and leads to the Elk Creek. Parents, or the entire family, can take time to enjoy nature and the trails. Make sure to check for deer ticks after walking the property.
