Or here for Step by Step Instructions.
I cannot find the right class for my child OR the class I need is full…
Please call the studio if you can’t find a class meeting your student’s age and skill level. Also, if a class you need is full, still enroll in the class. You will be put on a waitlist. New classes may be created if there are enough students on the waitlist.
How do I fix an enrollment mistake?
If you accidentally enroll your student in the wrong class or wish to change to a different class, you cannot adjust it on your own. It needs to be done by the studio. Email the studio the changes at lifehouseherrimandirector@gmail.com and we will fix it and notify you.
Detailed class information will be emailed the week before classes begin
Each class will receive an email the week before classes begin with information specific to their class including what to wear to class, the expectations of the class and a link to the yearly calendar.
*The studio has a store in the office where tights and dance shoes (ballet & tap) can be purchased.
Parent Meetings
There will be parent orientation meetings offered for all students at Lifehouse. Parent meetings are highly recommended for new students and optional for existing students. The parent meeting will go over studio policies for the year, getting parents oriented on how to make payments and how the studio communicates information, the curriculum and plans for your child’s class, how to support your child in their arts education, and details about performances. I look forward to connecting with our students’ families and creating an open dialogue to work as a team for their success and growth. Meetings will be held at the end of September. Dates will be sent out after fall classes begin.

DANCE FEES 2024-25
Registration: A yearly $20 registration fee is required to enroll each student. There is a $50 maximum registration fee per family. (For students enrolled in summer, you have already been charged the registration fee.) Registration fee is non-refundable.
Recital Fee: There will be a $30 recital fee per family per performance. Each ticket will cost $8 plus a small handling fee by the ticket venue. Recital fees are due by February 1, 2024. You will be sent an email as a reminder in January.
Costumes: Students will have between 2-5 costumes depending on their level and number of performances. The purchase price of costumes is between $65-$150. Whenever possible, we will rent costumes to keep costs down for parents. Costume rental fees are $35-$40. A non-refundable $35-$150 is required. See the class descriptions on the website for the exact amount of the deposit. Open class costume deposits are due upon enrollment. The costume deposit for company students and musical theater students will be due on October 1. The deposit will be credited toward costume fees for the year. Final costume payments are due April 1 for any remaining amount due.
MONTHLY INVESTMENT
Tuition is based on a monthly fee and not a per class basis. Payment is the same no matter how many times your child attends class. The monthly tuition fee guarantees a minimum of 36 weeks of instruction for the dance year. If class has to be canceled due to bad weather or teacher illness, you will be notified and a makeup class scheduled. I ask that you only sign up for dance if you are committed to finishing through the June recital.

IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS, PLEASE REACH OUT.
If during the year you ever have concerns about your child’s dance training or if your child is having a difficult time, please come talk to us and we will find an appropriate solution together. I have always found that it is better to deal with issues directly and one-on-one. You may leave a message at the studio at (385)-230-2199 or email our Herriman studio director at lifehouseherrimandirector@gmail.com. A response will be given within 48 hours.
