Enrollment will be based upon age (and experience level for dancers above age 6) for new families and instructor recommendation for current Lineage Dance Co. Dancers. During the first couple weeks of classes our instructors will formally evaluate if the class placement is correct for the dancer's age and ability. Should an instructor recommend an adjustment, those options will be presented to the parent and/or guardian for formal approval.
Any class with under 6 dancers enrolled may be subject to cancellation or combination with another class. A recommendation on a substitute class will be made at the time of cancellation and that option will be presented to the parent and/or guardian for formal approval.

We value providing feedback and hands-on instruction to our dancers. An important part of being able to effectively teach and provide feedback is being able to see each dancer’s lines. Dancers are required to follow the dress code for every class unless otherwise indicated via studio communication.

All Lineage Dance Co. dancers will have the opportunity to perform in our annual studio show!
The performance is tentatively scheduled for mid May. There will be one required dress rehearsal and one show performance. The final show date will be released by September 1, 2024.
We highly encourage your dancer(s) to participate in the end of year studio show! It is an excellent opportunity for them to showcase what they have been working hard on and gain experience on stage.
For any dancer not planning to participate in the Studio Show, a written request to withdraw participation from the show will be required to be filled out by November 1. This allows our staff to adequately prepare and plan a fantastic performance!
More info on the Studio Show to come soon!
FAQs
What is the difference between Studio Classes offered annually and Mini Sessions?
Studio Classes run from Mid-August to Mid-May and train yearlong. Mini Sessions are designed to offer students an introduction to dance in a small way on a seasonal basis! Some students may choose to add a mini-session of another genre of dance to “try it out” before they enroll for the full academic term.
How do I know when my child is ready for dance?
Typically, 2.5 is the youngest age that our classes would be a good fit. Dancers should be toilet trained and able to participate in class away from their parent or guardian for the duration of the session.
My dancer is 14 years of age or older, can they enroll in a studio class?
Unfortunately, at this time, our studio classes are only for those that are between the ages of 2.5-13 on September 1, 2024. We will be offering ad hoc training opportunities for individuals 14+ and additionally there will be master class opportunities open to dancers of all ages periodically.
Does my dancer have to have experience to sign up?
No! Our staff is eager and excited to introduce dance to your child! Initial enrollment can be done based on the dancer’s age as of 9/1/24. Our staff will evaluate their placement in the first couple of weeks of the session to ensure they are in the right class!
If your dancer is above the age of 6, the studio classes offered at the Beginner Level would be the best fit!
