    No, parents are not allowed to watch. We do have a designated Parent Watch Week - typically in November and April. That week we invite parents to to watch class.
  • How will I know if classes are cancelled?
    In the case of early dismissal or cancellation due to WINTER weather: We follow the Knoxville Community School District on cancellations. If KCSD cancels school or dismisses early, we will cancel dance classes. We post cancellation announcements to our Facebook Page, Facebook Groups, and BAND. Emails will also be sent. In case of early dismissal due to HEAT: We run class as usual- we have AIR!
