How long does your semester run?
OJC Dance Fall and Spring semesters run for 15 weeks, from August to December and January to May. Our Summer semester is 4-6 weeks in length from June to July.
How many performances do you have per year?
We have one big studio produced spring recital every other year and a holiday performance every other year, with smaller recitals on the “off” semesters. We also have a student produced showcase in the spring highlighting the choreographic talents of our students.
How much are classes?
Please see the Class Schedule for more information about tuition costs. It varies according to the age of the dancer and the length of the class.
My daughter has been taking ballet for so long, will she ever get her pointé shoes?
We get this question a lot. Students seem to take ballet classes for years and yet the instructor never seems to say, “Okay, I think you’re ready for pointé shoes.” An extreme amount of stress is applied to the muscles, ligaments, joints and bones of the feet and ankles during pointé work. If a student is placed on pointé to soon, damage can be done to the growth plates, as well as numerous other injuries that can effect the dancer for a lifetime.
