How to Register for Classes
Easy and convenient online account management is now available for our families. All registered families are able to log in to their account to view and print their schedule, track their absences and makeups, update credit card or bank information, and more.
ALL families registering for the 2022/2023 school year will register through our online registration form. Below you will find our class schedule organized by Division. Locate the Division that applies to your dancer to see the dance level offerings for your student.
If you are unsure of the appropriate Division, please view our Class Level Guidelines HERE.
After you are enrolled in a class, you will be able to use the Parent Portal. You will create a Parent Portal account by entering the email address and portal password that you provided at the time of registration. If it is your first time visiting your portal and do not know your password, click "Forgot your password" or "Need to get started?" A password will be sent to the email address you have on file with us. Use that to log in to your account. From there you can change your password.

Semester tuition is due in full at the time of registration unless the student is registered for two or more classes per week. Students enrolled in 2+ classes per week may pay the tuition in installments. Semester installment payments will be processed automatically on the 1st of each month and are due no later than the 10th of each month.
DCC requires either a credit card or checking/savings account to be on file for electronic payment processing. Once registration is submitted, the registrant has authorized DCC to use the account information for all account billing (to include tuition, rehearsal fees, late fees and any other studio or dance related expenses on your account.)
After the 10th of the month, a $15 late fee will be charged and enforced on all accounts past due. DCC will notify the account holder of failed payment attempts and late notices via email.
What if I want to add a class?
Simply go to your parent portal and add the class. Parent Portal>>Classes and Events>>Find Classes. We will apply and process (if applicable) any additional tuition charges within one to two business days. If the class has a waitlist, you will be added to the waitlist and we will contact you when a spot becomes available. No charges will be applied to the account until the student is officially enrolled in the class.
What if I want to transfer from one class to another?
While we can not support mid-semester drops or withdraws a student can transfer to another class by completing the Semester Class Transfer Request form found on the parent portal. Parent Portal>>My Schedule>>View Resources (under any currently enrolled class)>>Semester Class Transfer Request Form.
What if I do not plan to attend the following semester?
In order to accommodate changes in family schedules we offer the opportunity to withdraw from classes between semesters by submitting the Spring Semester Enrollment Change Request Form. (Please note: we cannot support mid-semester withdraws, but class transfers can be accommodated by completing the Semester Class Transfer Request form.)
Students enrolled in our Pre-Professional program are financially committed for the full school year (Fall and Spring semesters) and are not eligible for enrollment changes.
Spring Semester enrollment changes will be accepted until December 15 of the current school year. If your request is received after that date, your Fall enrollment will rollover and you will be financially responsible for your enrolled class(es)’ tuition through the Spring Semester.
