Once costumes are ordered, there are no returns. Parents are responsible for final payment.

Location
Our beautiful studios are located at the Chestermere Recreation Centre. Enter the building at the main/office entrance (under the Chestermere Regional Recreation Centre sign). Take the staircase between the sliding glass doors. At the top of the stairs you will turn left to a set of double doors. Enter the doors and halfway down the long corridor you will find our new Twirl Dance Studio.
Parent Night
December 10th - 16th *All Classes
Parent-Guided Classes
So what does Parent-Guided mean?
Parent-guided classes mean that a parent/guardian must remain present and participate in the dance activities. Parents help to engage their child in the activities.
Little dancers love sharing this time with their favourite person - you!
Sometimes it is necessary for younger siblings to attend and this is okay, but since this is a parent-guided class please be prepared to focus most of your attention on the child participating in the class.
