FAQ - Advanced Division

Question: 
Where can I find the information I need to enroll my child?
Answer: 

Under each Division there is a Registration and Forms tab which will provide all the necessary enrollment forms. 

Please contact Lisa de Ravel, Dean of Students, for information on placement into our Advanced Division at 609.921.7758 or lderavel@arballet.org.  Cindy Mahoney, Registrar, can assist with registration information at 609.921.7758.

Question: 
Where do I register?
Answer: 

All registration is handled at our Princeton location, regardless of where your child will take class. You can register in person, by mail, email, or fax. Registration cannot be done over the phone or online.

Question: 
How much does it cost?
Answer: 

Pricing depends on class length. See the registration information for additional details and payment plan options.

Question: 
Can I sign up for half a year?
Answer: 

No, registration for students age 4 and up is for the full school year, September through May. If you are unsure if your child will want to stay in the class, pay the first installment, rather than the full tuition amount.

Question: 
How do I go about buying a leotard?
Answer: 

We have a uniform in several different colors and styles, depending on your child's level. Please consult our website for ordering information.

Question: 
Do you do recitals?
Answer: 

No, we are not a recital school. Our professional company, American Repertory Ballet, performs The Nutcracker every year, and students in level Intermediate 2 and up are eligible to audition for it. Every spring, the school presents a full length ballet that all students in Children’s Ballet 1 and up are eligible to perform in. There is no audition. It is an optional activity. Rehearsals take place on the weekends outside of class time.

Question: 
Do you have classes other than ballet?
Answer: 

We also offer pilates, jazz/hip-hop, modern, and theater dance for students age 13 through adult. We do not offer these classes for younger children because we believe they need a foundation in the ballet basics of movement and body control first.
