About the Dance Program:

The Yocum Institute for Arts Education dance program offers training in many styles of dance for ages 2 – adult and all levels of experience. Students will have numerous performance opportunities including the Annual Dance Recital. Dancers will develop a positive body image, self confidence and creativity in a nurturing, educational environment.

All dance classes are ongoing. For Session Schedule scroll down.
  • Ongoing dance classes begin in September and continue throughout the year.
  • Session tuition is based on the number of dance classes offered for the year (Sessions One-Four) divided into four equal payments.
  • Students enrolled in ongoing dance classes are expected to remain enrolled in Sessions One through Four unless a withdrawal is received in writing.
  • Students are accepted into programs after September, however, they are expected to pay a minimum of 80% of the session’s tuition and will be billed in accordance with the billing schedule for subsequent sessions.
  • Unless a student temporarily or permanently withdraws (in writing) they can expect to be billed at the end of each session for the subsequent session.
  • Withdrawals and transfers must be received in writing (forms available from the instructor or at the front desk) and are only effective from the date they are received.
  • Any student who temporarily withdraws MUST Reregister when they return.
  • No one is accepted for recital participation after January. Furthermore, recital participation is not mandatory. 
The Annual Dance Recital is January 11th, 2011 at 6 PM.

Students enrolled in Private Instruction will be billed for the number of weeks in the session, based on the day of the week the lesson takes place.

Parent visitation/Performance:
