FAQ - Children Division

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

Each Division has a Registration and Forms tab, explore each division on our website to discover the necessary information.

You can also call 609.921.7758 for more information.

Cindy Mahoney, Registrar, can help you register.  Lisa de Ravel, Dean of Students, can help you figure out which class is appropriate for you.

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: 

Prices vary depending on length of class.  See the registration information for pricing information and payment plans options.

Question: 
What age do you start classes?
Answer: 

We have a program called Hand-in-Hand for children age 3-4 and their parents. All other classes start at age 4.

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 Dressing for Dance information brochure to order.

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.
