Hey amazing parents and dancers!! We are so excited to kick off this year with you on the right (or left) foot!!

After a year of virtual communication, we are excited to have our very first in-person beginning-of-the-year meeting to review policies, procedures, dates, and protocols for the 2021/2022 school year. COVID has changed so much in our lives and we want to be sure we communicate as effectively as we can! Miss Ana, Miss Emily, and our amazing staff will be there to guide you through our year at PAW!!

Dancers and parents in ballet Level 3 and up join us in the studio 8/29 from 2:00 - 3:00pm.

Dancers and parents ballet Levels 2 and under, Jazz, Hip Hop, and Modern join us in the studio 8/29 3:30 - 4:30pm.

Join Miss Ana at the front desk Monday - Saturday, 9:30am - 1:00pm to register for classes, answer questions, and get set up for the new year! This is a great chance to get ahead of the game with tuition/class set up and ask Miss Ana questions! Miss Emily is also available sporadically. If you need her, please email us to set up a time!

Please remember - you cannot set up contracts yourself for auto-pay on mindbody, we need to do it with you! Stop in during the times above to complete this step with us!

All students and families do need a mindbody account to complete billing and registration. You can make one here!

NOTE : We will still be ZOOMing classes for those dancers and families who are not comfortable coming in. If this is you, just give us a shout so we can plan accordingly!!

Yearly schedule is released! You can find all the info you need for this year on the website OR click the links below! Rehearsal, performance, outreach, and competition schedules to follow.

You will notice there are no teachers on the schedule. This is because PAW's faculty's lives have changed and some will not be returning. We love and will miss them very much!

Never fear, when we do release teachers, you will see Miss Ana Mendoza, Miss Hannah, Miss Rebecca, Miss Jazmyn, Miss Ana Da Costa, Mr. Tylor, Mr. Zuri, Miss Tiffany, Miss Janica, Miss Emily, Miss Catharine, Miss Jenny, Miss Liv, and Miss Sadie are holding down the fort!

Check out our policies and procedures packet for the new year. There have been some changes and each family must sign and return this packet! Brush up on dress code, attendance requirements, our absence policy!

Check out an updated rate sheet for the year. Due to our building's sale to new owners this year, our rent is increasing over the next 5 years. We must continue to keep the studio open to share the joy of dance with you and this is why you will see a fluctuation! These small changes will be in effect starting with the new school year on 8/15.

Our dress code is stated in our policy packet and we are working to streamline some options through Applause and Discount Dance Supply for purchasing!

Discount Dance Supply will ship everything you need and starting in August, they will have a detailed list of what the studio requires for classes. these links will be online as they are available!

Applause Dancewear down the street will give you a 10% discount if you mention PAW!

We are planning to bring our outdoor program back if we have enough dancers to enroll! Stay tuned for our schedule - three month semester beginning in September and ending in November.

At PAW, a personal touch is very important to us both in the classroom and out. PAW staff and faculty strive to communicate as best we can with you!
