Q: What is a "Combo" class?
A: At Central Dance Academy, our Youth Combination classes consist of half of the class time being for ballet and half of the class time being for tap. At show, the dancers will perform both a ballet dance as well as a tap dance. For these classes we choose a two-in-one costume that has a leotard base and two different skirts. For class, students will wear pink tights. For show they will need both pink and tan.
Q: Is Jazz/HipHop also considered a combo class?
A: Yes and no. In this class the dancers are taught basic techniques of jazz while incorporating a little bit of hip hop. The dancers do not have two separate shoes, costumes or dances, unlike the regular combo classes.
Q: What does it cost to take classes?
A: Please review the schedule page . Also, please note that we offer multi-class discounts for 3 or more classes as well as a referral program.

A: All of our classes have some type of dress code. General dress code and shoe requirements can be found in the class descriptions online and full details may be found in our, annually updated, Parent and Student Handbook.
