How to register for classes

Registration at GLS happens solely online. Families returning to the studio will receive pre-approved classes in the summer for the fall, and are pre-registered in subsequent terms. Dancers move up levels on a yearly basis every fall, or by a teacher’s recommendation.

Families pay a $25 admin fee for each dancer registered upon submission of the registration form. A final invoice will then be sent once your registration is complete. Please be patient with us – registration is a manual and time-intensive process, so there may be a bit of a delay in submitting your registration form and receiving your next steps!

Trial classes: At this time due to the popularity of our programming, we do not offer any trial classes. Please contact us for more information on finding the right class for your dancer!

All tuition fees from first term must be paid up prior to the start of the winter term or the student will or the student will not be allowed to re-register for second term.

Make-up classes

Feeling sick happens, we get it! In order to provide the best class experience, we ask that parents email the studio in advance if their dancer is going to be missing class. Make-up classes will be available at the studio’s discretion based on class level and size, exam preparations, recital choreography, and/or other factors.

We will do our best to accommodate dancers who miss classes, however who consistently miss classes or do not notify the studio promptly of absences may have future requests for make-up classes denied.

At times, students may be instructed to attend a make-up or additional class directly by teachers. Communication for make-up classes from teachers will happen through the studio email system.
