No. Parents/guardians are not permitted to sit in the classrooms or to linger outside the studio doors. Dancers have a much more successful lesson when they are not distracted by observers. 

No. Participation in our year-end recital is not mandatory. We do ask that you inform the front desk if your child will not be participating in the show at the start of Term 2. We do encourage all students, even the youngest pre-dance members, to take part in the fun and rewarding experience of performing on stage in costume.


 

First and foremost your child must love to dance! If they are dancing a lot at home and/or asking to take additional classes they are starting to show signs of readiness. Typically a minimum of 2 years dance training is expected but some exceptions may apply. POG holds annual auditions for our award winning competitive team each spring/summer. The best way to know if your child is ready is to have them attend the audition. They will be assessed and then recommendations will be given to you on where they should be placed for training the next dance season.

We have multiple shows because of the number of classes that run at the studio. A schedule will be created to determine what show your child will be dancing in. If they are taking more than one class there is a possibility they will have to perform in more than one show. This schedule will be provided to you in the Recital Handbook distributed in the spring.

For everything you need to know about our year-end show will be available in our RECITAL HANDBOOK sent out during Term 2
