Summer Class Information 2024

                                                   Summer Information Letter

Dear Lifehouse Families,

We are excited for the plans we have at Lifehouse this summer! We hope you will join us.  Included in this letter is the schedule for weekly summer classes, company audition information for the 2024-25  season, and information about summer intensive and camps. 

Class recommendations for next season

If your child is currently in an open class, you will receive a recommendation in April for class placement for the 24-25 season.  Feel free to contact the studio if you wish to discuss the best options for your student.  Ms. Nesha or Ms. Annie are happy to talk through options with you.

Schedule of Weekly Open and Company Summer classes

Summer classes will begin on June 17 and conclude on July 26. Classes will not be held on July 4.  Makeup classes for that day will be on June 28.  Classes will be held on July 24. Summer classes are open to everyone.  

• Tuition is determined by the number of hours of instruction per week and is equivalent to regular tuition during the year.  

• There are six weeks of summer classes.  Summer tuition will be due on July 1.   

• You may also pay by the week if you will be gone a significant number of days during the weeks of summer when classes are offered.  YOU MUST SEND AN EMAIL TO lifehouseacademyinfo@gmail.com WITH THE DATES YOU WILL BE GONE BEFORE SUMMER CLASSES BEGIN TO GET ANY DISCOUNT.  IT IS NOT RETROACTIVE.

• A $20.00 non-refundable annual registration fee is due upon enrollment for summer.   The registration fee is $20 per student or $50 maximum per family.  This reserves your spot for summer classes and/or summer intensive and guarantees you a spot for the fall.  You must pay it online when you register or your registration will be dropped.

Enroll in classes on your Lifehouseacademy.com account.  Registration will open on May 1.  

Weekly Open Classes offered this summer—Preschool, combo classes for 5-8 year olds, and open technique classes for students 9 and older.

Lifehouse will offer preschool, combo classes for 5-8 year olds, and technique classes for open students ages 9 and older  this summer.    Students should register for the class that corresponds to their grade level for the 2024-25 school year.  For example, students entering  kindergarten or the first grade should enroll in the five/ six-year-old combo class.

Weekly Company Summer Schedule

Students interested in participating in a company for the 2024-25 season need to register for summer classes.  Students 4th grade and older who are new to Lifehouse should contact the studio for recommended placement.  We are looking forward to having six weeks of summer classes!

• The summer class schedule will be based on company placement from the 2023-24 year.  

• Summer classes will serve as the audition process for next year’s company placement.  This will allow us to watch students for an extended period and better place them in the right class for their growth the following year.  It will also allow us to better place new company members in the right class and help us to keep skills sharp and stay in prime condition year-round.

• Some Company classes have required classes and optional summer offerings for those who want to intensify their training.  Optional classes are indicated by **.

• You will need to register individually for each class listed on the schedule.

Pointe dancers must dance year-round

Because of the safety issues and intense physical conditioning needed for pointe work, students who are on pointe must dance year-round and take summer classes.  If a student does not take summer classes, they will be pulled off pointe and must dance for a month on flat and be re-tested to be put back on pointe.

Summer Intensive and Camps

Lifehouse will be offering camps and our summer intensive in addition to the weekly summer classes.  Below are links with detailed information.

Auditions for Lifehouse 2024-25 Companies

An audition for Dance Companies will be held Saturday, July 20, between the hours of 9 am-2 pm. It is a good experience for students to learn the art of auditioning as it is a part of the dance world.  Students will showcase what they have been working on all summer.  After the audition, class placement for the next season will be determined.  Always our goal is to place dancers where they can grow and progress to their potential.

Best Regards,
