Fall Registration

Thank you to our 370+ students & families who have already registered for fall 2023 classes. We appreciate your support of our small business. If you haven’t registered for fall classes yet, the sooner the better for the best availability. Back to school & back to the barre happen on DIFFERENT dates this year (for most students) due to a PA Day. Our classes start Tues. September 5th. We can’t wait to kick off season #27!

In case you missed it, if you have a 5 or 6-year-old who loves to move & groove, we have added another commercial hip hop class to the fall schedule, starting in 2 weeks with Ms. Isabella: 🎵 Sundays 3:15-4:00 pm.

As we head into a new season, we have created a buy & sell group for families who would prefer to buy or sell gently used, North London Dance Centre uniforms & dance shoes.

Pointe & Pick and Dancewear Plus continue to carry our full uniform in stock.

Class Spotlight- Acro

Flexibility, strength, balancing, limbering & tumbling: we have acro classes available for ages 5+ this fall. Add acro to your dancer’s schedule using the parent portal. Acro is taken concurrently with ballet, jazz or contemporary.

June Recital Videos

Reminder: June Recital Videos are READY to Download!
Links were emailed to all performing students at the beginning of July. Please check your junk folder if you didn’t see the email(s). Please download your files for keeping no later than September 1, 2023.

Studio Lobby Reminders

Our studio lobby is small and can only accommodate seating for 15. If your child’s class is at one of our busier times, and there are no seats available, we would appreciate if you could occasionally wait outside/in your vehicle and/or only send one caregiver inside the facility. We also ask families to take calls / facetime outside, and if sound is being used on a device, please wear earphones.
