2023/24 MY GROWN UP & ME CLASSES (UNDER 3 YEARS)

Excalibur offers a fun and safe environment where students of all ages are encouraged to grow, create, and reach their full potential!

45 minute classes for our youngest dancers, from 18 to 35 months of age. My Grown Up & Me offers a pre-introduction to dance, intended to ease your child into a more traditional classroom setting. Involvement requires a parent/guardian to play an integral role: Taking part in class, providing comfort and modelling participation for their little one. These lessons will introduce valuable skills such as listening, taking turns, and following directions, encouraging children to develop both individually and socially in a fun, creative environment.

Our 2nd semester begins the week of Tuesday, January 2nd, 2024.

BEGINNER (18-35 MONTHS OF AGE)

PRE-INTRODUCTION: Each dancer must be accompanied and supervised by a parent or guardian. This individual is expected to engage with the lessons being presented, encouraging their little one to participate.

  • Select a Register link to begin your online registration process.
  • If a class has reached maximum enrollment, a Waitlist link will be displayed. Waitlisted students are given first consideration should a spot become available, or if a similar class is added to the schedule. A large waitlist will often dictate when a new class is created. Joining a waitlist is free of charge. 
  • If no link is displayed, the class may require a special enrollment process (admission by audition, for example). This also occurs during the final months of each semester, when classes are no longer accepting new enrollment.

Upon submission of online registration, fees will NOT process immediately. Expect an email confirmation within three (3) business days. This will include the total amount owing, with applicable taxes and discounts. This confirmation will also schedule a date for the processing of your initial payment using the provided billing method.

(Numbers)

When multiple classes share the same name, each class is assigned a number (in brackets). For instance, Junior Ballet (1) and Junior Ballet (2). These numbers exist only to differentiate the classes on the schedule and have no impact on student placement.

2023/24 Season

The 1st semester of our season begins on September 5th, 2023 and ends on December 16th, 2023. The 2nd semester begins on January 2nd, 2024 and ends on June 15th, 2024. Unless otherwise noted, classes will continue for the entire season provided minimum enrollment is maintained.

Commitment

Though our 2023/24 season runs from September 2023 to June 2024, registration does NOT commit you to the entire 10 month period (6 months for second semester). Tuition is paid on a monthly basis. Students are free to add classes, transfer to a new class, and/or withdraw from class at any time. Important: Enrollment and billing will continue through to the end of the season unless office staff are otherwise notified by the registrant.

Initial Fees & Monthly Tuition

Initial fees will be posted at the time of registration. Subsequent tuition fees are due on the 1st of each month. Initial fees include the first month's tuition (prorated if joining mid-month), a $40 registration fee per family, and costume fees as detailed below. Listed fees DO NOT include GST, taxes are additional. Families will be discounted for multiple students/classes.

Tuition is calculated based on class length and day of the week. For example: Monday classes offer fewer lessons due to stat holiday and long weekend closures, resulting in a lower tuition fee. 45 minute classes will likewise feature a lower fee compared to 60 minute classes.

Costume Fee/Recital

Due to the unqiue format of these lessons, and considering the age of those involved, My Grown Up & Me classes are not well suited for participation in our annual recital performances. As such, no costume fees will be applied during the registration process.

Fixed Payment Plan

Tuition fees are calculated as part of a "fixed" payment plan (also known as an equal payment plan). Fees are calculated by determining the total cost of the season, minus all studio closures, divided equally across the 10 month period between September 2023 and June 2024. The registrant pays the same fee each month regardless of how many classes are attended. Note that all scheduled closures are subtracted prior to the calculation of fees, thus reducing the average monthly tuition.

Don't See the Class You're Looking For?

If we do not offer an appropriate class, please let us know. Be sure to join a wait list if the class of your choice is full! New options will often be added to the schedule based on demand.
