When do classes begin?
All classes begin in September and run through until June, just like the school year. If you are unable to commit to the full year, we suggest trying our Spring Mini Session and/or our Dance Camps. 

What should I bring to class?
Come ready to learn! Wear your appropriate uniform (see next question) and shoes. Parents, please be sure to send along a refillable water bottle (water only) that is easy to drink from. And…bring a smile…we love teaching happy dancers!

Does UUC by CSDS have a dress code?
Yes.

• All students are required to wear a black leotard and black dance shorts to all classes, except ballet and hip hop. Leotards and shorts are available through the studio.
• All ballet students are required to wear a black leotard and pink ballet tights.
• Boys will wear white fitted t-shirt or tank top and black fitted dance shorts. If attending ballet, please have black ballet slippers.
• There is no required dress code for students registered in hip hop classes, the funkier the better! However, clean inside running shoes must be worn. No jeans please.
• Pink ballet slippers, black jazz and black tap shoes are required for their corresponding classes. Dance paws, turners or bare feet can be worn for lyrical and contemporary classes.
• Any student participating in the Society of Classical Ballet (Vaganova Method) examinations must wear the required studio leotard, appropriate ballet tights and ballet shoes.
• Students are required to have their hair up and in a secure bun for all ballet and acro classes and up off their face and neck for all other dance classes.

What if I miss a class?
If you would like to attend another class at your level to make up for the class you missed, please be sure to contact the studio office to get a list of options. Your class choice must be confirmed prior to attending the make up class.

What if my child is not participating in class?
At UUC by CSDS we encourage all parents to allow their children to learn at their own pace. It may take a little time and patience until they become comfortable in their dance class, but it is always worth it.

What is your inclement weather policy?
When the weather outside is frightful – classes will be cancelled due to inclement weather. You can check our Website, our Facebook page , or our Instagram page for up-to-date cancellation information. We will do all that we can to ensure that your cancelled class gets made up before the end of the dance season.

Do I have to know much about dance to send my child to dance classes?
Of course not. We can teach you both! Always be encouraging to your young dancer and be sure not to put too much pressure on them. Dance classes are fun – at every age. Ask us about our adult classes for yourself.

My son has expressed an interest to dance. Do boys dance at UUC by CSDS?
Absolutely! Dance class is a great way to increase coordination, flexibility and rhythm. We offer classes for all genders and all ages.

Where do I find dance shoes for my child? Do you sell them at your studio?
There are a few places to purchase new dance shoes in the region. Try Inspirations Dancewear  You can order dancewear from them online only.  Or check out the newly opened FreeStyle Dancewear store in Kitchener.  If you are interested in gently used shoes, our studios carry many different sizes in jazz, tap and ballet styles – please ask.
