Classes

Classes are offered to students beginning at age 2½. Our Early Childhood Program provides a developmentally appropriate dance education for the very young dancer. This program consists of

  • Toddler Dance (2½ - 3 years old),
  • Creative Movement I (3 1/2 - 4 years old),
  • Creative Movement II (4 to 5, Pre-K),
  • Pre-Ballet (Kindergarten),
  • and Primary (First Grade).

Level Classes, also known as our Elementary Program, are open to students aged 7 and up and are traditionally structured classes of ballet and modern.

  • 30 minute classes: Toddler Dance
  • 45 minute classes: Creative Movement I and II, Pre-Ballet & Primary
  • 60 minute classes:  Level I, II and III
  • 90 minute classes: Level IV and V

We also offer certain classes in our Summer Session.

In order to provide quality instruction, our classes are limited to 10-12 students. Placement is at the discretion of the instructor. Students with no previous experience must enroll prior to January 15th unless joining a newly-created beginner class.

Our studio is also home to Tap Classes with Sara Draper, Pilates mat classes, and Aikdio classes with Dr. Jaideep Mukherjee.

And, in addition to classes taught at our two studios in the Heights, Claire School of Dance also offers classes at Country Day Montessori, Cathedral House Montessori, Sherwood Forest Montessori, and Rice Children's Campus.

Registration, Tuition & Payment

Students register for an entire class year, rather than for individual semesters. The fee schedule reflects tuition for the 2008-2009 class year.

There is a $35 registration fee. Parents have two payment options for tuition:

  1. Pay the full year's tuition at the time of registration.

    Parents making a one-time payment receive a discount.

  2. Pay the tuition in four installments, per the payment schedule at the right.

    Parents making installments must enroll in our automatic debit program.

We offer sibling discounts. If you wish to enroll multiple children, please call the office.

Tuition and registration fees are NON-REFUNDABLE. For more information on this and other issues, please see the policies and procedures page.
