Frequently Asked Questions
If your child is shy, parents are welcome to come in and dance/gymnastic with their child to make them more comfortable. Usually, it takes a couple weeks before they are running into class without looking behind!!
We have a parents waiting area. We ask that you keep it clean. No food is allowed in the waiting area.
Recreational classes have no dress code. We do have requirements, such as leotards, tights, and proper shoes. Long hair must always be in a ponytail or a bun.
Please refer to the ‘Shoe Requirement’ link on the home page of this website where you will find shoe requirements.
Your child should be three years old.
Tap & Ballet: 30 min class
Combination, tap, ballet & gymnastic: 1 hour class
Gymnastics: 45 min class.
I would suggest the combination class. A three year old really doesn’t know the difference between dance or gymnastics. The reason why I offer a combination class is to give the child an opportunity toexperience both.
Classes vary in time depending on the age and the ability of the student.
A beginner student will most likely dance once a week. If a beginner student takes more than one class, we try to schedule the classes back to back.
No. We are fortunate enough to have many students, thus allowing us to be able to group them according to age and level.
This depends on the class. A pre-school class may have 10-12 students enrolled with one head teacher, one jr. teacher and a student’s assistant. A gymnastic class will have 12-15 students with one head coach, 2 assistants and a student-teacher. The group is divided into 3 stations leaving each teacher with five students in a station. All other classes will have 10-12 students with one head teacher and one assistant (if the teacher feels students need extra help she will bring in another assistant.)
At Caffery’s, your child will not have a teenage instructor. Your child will have only instructors who have studied and trained with Ms. Lindsay. It is mandatory that all instructors teach with Ms. Lindsay for 2 years before they are allowed to conduct a class on their own.
No. You are only committed for 4 weeks. A written withdrawal or email is required to stop your billing cycle. You are responsible until we receive this. Phone messages are not accepted for withdrawal. PAYMENTS ARE DUE ON EVERY 5th CLASS and pre-payment for the month prior. You will receive a payment schedule, and reminders are posted in the school.
