Tuition:
January's Tuition was posted Dec 20th. It is January and 1/2 of June. If you responded on the google form in August for option 1 or 2 this does not apply to you. If you did not responded on the google form, enrolled in September or after, or if you chose option 3, June's tuition has been posted 1/2 in January and the other 1/2 will post in April. This is due to ordering costumes and closing our season books in May.
Costumes and Music are available for viewing in your parent portal!
To See your child/children's costume(s) go into your parent portal and click the costume tab on the home page. Recital Music downloads will be under the music files tab.

Due to limited studio in person spots, monthly tuition must be paid in full by the end of the month to hold your child’s spot in their class/classes. Autopay is available!
We hope everyone had Happy Holidays! Take a look at our amazing dancers on the holiday card 💜
Viewing, Illness & Inclement Weather Policies
We are still getting costumes in, if dancers are trying on those costumes the zoom will be off for privacy.
For illnesses please follow the same policy as schools. If your child is not feeling well or has been exposed to an illness, please stay home. We offer makeup classes! You can follow along on zoom but please note there is no audio.
If your dancer is going to be absent please log the absence in your parent portal under attendance.
Curious if there is class due to the weather?!
We will cancel class due to weather 2 hours prior to opening.
Example: If the studio opens for the day at 4pm we will send out the cancellation around 2pm. If we don't post a cancellation that means We Are Open!
The studio may be open even if school is cancelled.
All cancellations will be posted on our website cancellation page, public & private Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, studio telephones and emailed to you. If you haven't already, please join our private studio members Facebook page! https://www.facebook.com/groups/CSDAStudioMembers

Congratulations to Miranda Ouellette and Brianna Fein for placing in their school's DECA competitions.
A couple of our dancers received the SWIM award at their schools. The SWIM award stands for Stay safe, Work hard, Include all, Make good choices. Congratulations Madeline Babij, Kyla Lane and Faith Leitao.
We had some dancers perform in the Nutcracker in December. Julia Ronemus was an angel and a soldier and Maggie Shea was snow and flower. Great job dancers!
