Unlimited Student Program

This program has been designed as a wonderful opportunity for students to be able to take many classes at an affordable price. Unlimited status occurs when a student takes four classes per week. These students may take additional classes (options for classes providing by faculty) without a fee. The purpose of the Unlimited Student Program is for interested students, with the love of dance, to be able to further their dance education without exorbitant cost factors. It's a great program for serious dancers!
