FAQ

Enrollment

Can I Take A Trial Before Signing Up?

Yes, we offer a one-week unlimited class pass for $20. You can come to as many classes as you want throughout the week to see which style and which instructor you like. 

If you sign up for our classes on the same week, we will credit the $20 back to. your enrolment.

How Late In The Season Can I Sign Up?

You can sign up for select classes year round, depending on availability, but some may have seasonal restrictions. Most of our classes will close for enrolment in November, but we may have some ongoing options. Please inquire for specific classes. 

Can I Pay Now But Start Later?

For seasonal classes, we require payment and enrolment to start in the same month to ensure fairness and keep class availability open for all students.

Progressives (ie. 12 week program) are one lump sum payment. Dancers can start late, but it’s one flat fee for all students. 

What If I Can’t Commit For A Full Season?

We offer a flexible cancellation policy. Just provide at least 10 days’ notice by email before the next month, and your last month’s deposit will cover that month’s classes. Competitive programs, however, require a full-season commitment.

Our short term progressive programs do not have a cancellation option.

How Many Dancers Are In Each Class?

Class sizes depend on several factors including the age group, size of studio and the needs of the students. Hip hop classes can be better with bigger groups to create an energetic, fun vibe, while other genres and some age groups may need smaller groups for more focused attention.

Can I Attend a Class Outside My Age Category?

Age brackets are based on the school year and as of Sept 30.  

*Some Progressive programs have different age requirements. 

Can I Skip a Level if I Have Previous Experience?

If a student is able to pass the curriculum requirements, through examination, they can move to the next level. We offer private lessons if they need extra practice before moving up. Please email us if you have further questions about this.

Do You Offer Classes For Differently Abled Children?

While we don’t have specific classes built out for this, we are an inclusive studio. Please email us if you have any questions or would like to discuss your child’s specific needs.

Where Can I Park?

There is free street parking in front of the studio.

Can I Bring A Friend To Class?

Yes, we can set them up with a week pass and they can come try the class with you! 

 They will need to email us, to let us know which class(es) they’re interested in trying out and set up an account with us first. 

If they sign up for regular classes, ask about our referral bonus!

Can I Attend Classes In Multiple Location?

Yes, you can attend classes in any of our locations without an additional registration fee. You’ll also receive a multi-class discount and can make up any missed classes at the other location.

Can I Switch To A Different Class If My Schedule Changes?

Yes, as long as there is space in the class and you meet the curriculum and age requirements. After class enrolments close for the season, we cannot accommodate class switches, unless it’s within the same dance genre and skill level. This is due to progressive curriculum. 

If you are switching from a Progressive to a Seasonal Class, or vice versa, there may be additional fees.

Can I Make Up Missed Classes?

Yes, if you’re unable to attend a class due to illness or other reasons, you can make it up by joining another class. Please email us to confirm a suitable make-up class.

Parent and Student Extras

How Can I Buy A Parent Hoodie or T-Shirt?

Yes, we have adult sizes. Please email us to purchase apparel. 

What If My Crew T-Shirt or Hoodie Is Damaged Or No Longer Fits?

If your T-shirt or hoodie is damaged or no longer fits, please email us within 60 days of purchase. We can assist with an exchange or help you order a new size if necessary.

We recommend purchasing a slightly baggier size, as it allows room to grow and fits the style of hip hop dance, which is typically more comfortable with looser clothing.

Can I Watch My Child’s Class?

For Little Tots and Tots classes, parents are welcome to watch from inside the studio as long as space permits.  However, throughout the season, we will work towards having the parents step out of the classroom to help foster a sense of independence over time.

For Mini’s, Junior, and Senior classes, we ask parents to watch from outside the doorway, even if your child is comfortable with you being in the room. We have a variety of personalities in class, and many students can feel nervous with others watching. 

This approach helps encourage independence and creates the best environment for all students to grow. Parents are always welcome to join for the last 5 minutes of class to watch the freestyle circle.

Can I Film My Child’s Class?

Yes, you’re welcome to film the last 5 minutes of your child’s class! Feel free to tag us @streetkingsstudio if you post on social media.

Policies and Cancellations

How Do I Cancel Classes?

To cancel your class enrolment, please provide a 10-day written notice (via email) before the 1st of the next month. Your last month’s deposit will be applied to your final billing date, which is the month following your cancellation. Any remaining balances must be paid in full within 30 days, and discontinuing attendance does not automatically cancel your enrolment.
