Please note that after you purchase a class package, you must make sure that you sign up for the class to "assign" your package in the class schedule here. Please contact our Kids & Teens Coordinator at kidsandteens@alvinailey.org if you need assistance.
No! Ailey Extension Kids & Teens classes are open to all dancers, no audition required.
The Ailey Extension Kids & Teens classes are all open-level classes. We welcome children of all dance backgrounds including absolute beginner students. Classes are determined by age, not dance level.
While there is no strict dress code at Ailey Extension, we suggest that students wear form-fitting dance wear to class. Students are asked to wear ballet shoes for ballet classes and clean sneakers for hip hop classes.
In order to maximize the experience for all children enrolled in the class, students are permitted a 10-minute grace period for tardiness. Students will not be permitted in class after that 10-minute period.
Make-up classes are not offered for any missed Kids & Teens classes. Students may only attend classes for which they are registered and all Extension class purchases are non-refundable.
Yes! We offer an informal showing for friends and family at the end of the session. More information will be sent out to parents when the date nears.
