Tap dance classes are the newest addition Faith & Fitness.

​​

Levels & Times

Beginner (typically ages 6-10, depending on experience): Wednesdays 4:15-5:05pm

Intermediate (typically ages 10-16, depending on experience): Wednesdays 5:10-6:00pm

​

These classes are held within three sessions:

Main Session 1: September through December

Main Session 2: January through April

Summer Session: May through August​

​

Enrollment​

Enrollment occurs three times a year, prior to the session start.

The enrollment deadline is the first day of classes in a particular session.

Classes are cumulative, so to be fair to our students, they cannot enroll after a session has started. For instance, if classes start September 3rd, enrollment will close on September 3rd, and the next sessions enrollment will begin, which begins January 7th.

The instructor has the right to deny, cancel, and/or revoke the enrollment of a student at any time. Offenses may include but are not limited to misbehavior, poor attendance, late arrivals, distracting other students, etc.

*Per the Newton Rec, there is a minimum enrollment of 4 students, and a maximum enrollment of 15*

​

Expectations

Students are expected to attend all classes in a session.

Should a student have to miss class for any reason, they must contact Mrs. Hannah via text (413) 522-5287.

Classes are cumulative, so missing classes does a disservice to the student, and to the class.

Students should arrive to class 5 minutes early.

Students are expected to wear dance or athletic attire (eg. sweatpants, tights/leotard, leggings).

Attire should be modest (no midriff or cleavage).

Hair should not be a distraction - ponytails, buns, or braids are acceptable.

A filled water bottle should be brought to each class.

 

Cost

Tap dance classes are $35/month per student, per class, made payable to the Newton Rec.

While payment is made month to month, it is expected that a student finishes out the session they are registered for.

If a student misses a class for any reason, they are responsible for that missed class, and are not eligible for a refund or makeup class.

If the instructor or studio cancels a class for any reason, including scheduled breaks such as Christmas and Spring Break, the student may take any class offered by Mrs. Hannah at the Newton Rec as a makeup class, within 2 weeks of the cancelled class. 

​​​​

Structure

Classes are 50-minutes long (subject to change, dependent on class size) and are held at the Newton Rec Center on Wednesday evenings.

Students should arrive 5 minutes prior to their class.

The studio is the "Railer Room", located on the 3rd floor of the Newton Rec.

​

Celebration Days

Though there are not enough classes currently to host a recital, we still want to celebrate your student's progress.

Once per session we will host Celebration Days, where parents can attend the class to watch their student showcase what they have learned that session. Celebration Days will take place during the last scheduled class of the session, unless otherwise noted.
