Grownup & Me

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I wear to class?

Dancers (and Grown Ups) should wear comfortable clothes that they can move and groove in! For footwear, dancers should wear sneakers and bring a towel to sit on outside. Dancers will NOT be allowed to participate in activities barefoot or in unsafe footwear, such as sandals or flip-flops.

What is the tuition cost?

Tiny Toes tuition is $25 per class. Since the Fall Session is outside, classes may be cancelled or rescheduled due to inclement weather.

How do I register?

All tuition can be paid online through the website, or via Venmo. Cash or cheque payments will not be accepted at this time.

Can I do a trial class?

Yes! All new students interested in attending our classes may schedule a trial class to see our studio and determine if the class is a good fit. Please email us at hello@odonnellacademy.com or fill out the contact form below to schedule your trial class at a time best for you.

What if I miss a class?

You can schedule a make-up class in the same level of classes within the same session of the class missed. Please email us to schedule a make up class! All registered dancers may also attend virtual classes at any time during the session if they need to miss in-studio classes for any reason.

Is there a recital?

Dancers in all our Tiny Toes programs will have an opportunity to showcase their skills with their grown ups in our end-of-session showcase and celebration. Dancers enrolled in our Spring session or in our year round classes will also participate in our end of year showcase.
