FAQs

General Questions

  • I have never danced before, what level should I sign up for? All our classes are mixed level and organized by age. Our instructors are trained to asses each class and dancers during the first two weeks of the session and create class content that is appropriately challenging and comfortable.

  • Can I get a refund? E.N.A. does not give credit and/or refunds if a registration is cancelled less than one week (7 days) prior to class/session beginning. For summer camps and summer intensives the academy does not give credit and/or refunds if a registration is cancelled less than 30 days prior to camp/intensive beginning.

  • Do you offer trail classes? All Dance with E.N.A. Studio classes offer a one-time trial class for new students at a drop-in rate of $25. If the student registers for the full session after the first class, this fee is put towards their full session tuition. Per Corte Madera Recreation Center policies, we are unable to offer trial classes to any dancers registering for classes at that location.

  • Can I observe class? No! We are a closed studio, drop off studio. This decision is a result of years of experience and with our dancers’ best interests in mind.

  • Can I drop my child off early? No! Our instructors use their time before class to prepare for their lessons. Doors open 5 minutes to class start time.

  • What if I’m late for pick-up? Our time is valuable! We reserve the right to charge for any pickups made after 15 minutes of class as follows:
    15-20 minutes late: $25
    20-30 minutes late: $50
    30-45 minutes late: $75
    45-60 minutes late: $125

  • Can I enroll in class if I am not performing? This is a performance based program. All dancers are expected to perform during our bi-annual show. Extenuating circumstances are looked at on a case by case basis at the discretion of our Artistic Director.
