FAQ
Q: How do I sign up for classes?
A: Current Students can click here to register access the Parent Portal and register for the appropriate class. New Students should call us or email us for placement information.
Q: When can my child start taking classes?
A: We take registration beginning at age three by September 1, 2023. We cannot make exceptions to this.
Q: What level should my dancer be in?
A: Placement is at the discretion of our faculty.
If your dancer is age 3-4, or 5 not yet in kindergarten, they should be registered for Tiny Dancers.
If your dancer is age 5 or 6 in kindergarten, they should be registered for Pre-Ballet.
If your dancer is age 6 or 7 in 1st grade, they should be registered for Ballet 1.
If your dancer is age 7 or 8 in 2nd grade, they should be registered in Ballet 2.
If your dancer is 8 or older in 3rd grade and up, please email us at info@midlandfestivalballet.org or call us at
432-682-2653 for Placement.
Q: What if my dancer misses a class?
A: We usually encourage students to make up missed classes by attending a class in the level equivalent to or one level below their current class. 3 absences per year can be made up. All make-up classes must be within the same month as the absence.
Q: Why is there a dress code?
A: A dress code is enforced for multiple reasons. First and foremost, a class uniform allows the students to focus on the dance training and not what they are wearing. In addition, wearing proper dance attire to class allows the instructors to effectively correct alignment and technique.
Q: Can I stay and watch my child’s class?
A: At this time, we do not allow parents to sit and observe classes. This can distract the dancers and take away from class time learning.
Q: Are there performance opportunities?
A: Yes! At the end of each school year, Midland Festival Ballet has a School Showcase recital. Students are also invited to audition for and participate in Midland Festival Ballet’s annual production of The Nutcracker.
