Parents and Dancers
Information you need, and where to find it
Online Payment
All tuition and other payments will now be handled through Dance Studio Pro. Please don't use the old PayPal direct link; PayPal is a payment option in DSP. Using the previous PayPal Direct link will not log your payment in the system.
We have a closed Facebook group for parents, teachers, and dancers to interact. It can be found at www.facebook.com/groups/ebsdancers. Please do not add friends who are not current dance parents; if they are looking for information about our studio, refer them to the business page. Please do invite/add additional parents, and your dancers who have Facebook accounts!
Email Communications
We do a huge amount of communicating via email. Please make sure you gave us a valid email address when you enrolled your dancer. You should already be subscribed to receive emails from the studio, but if for some reason you are not getting them, you can use this form to manually add yourself. This can make a difference in whether your email server classifies our newsletters as junk mail. If your child has an email address, they are also welcome to join the mailing list and take some responsibility for their activities. We especially encourage this in our teen and tween students.
When You Have Questions....
First, check the website and/or social media. We try to have answers readily available, especially to questions that begin with “What time is....?” “What do we need for...?” “When and where is...?” and “Are we closed for...?” If you have done so and cannot find the answer, ask Kara. Please don’t go to individual teachers with studio questions. It’s not their job to have all of that information organized and available to you, and sometimes they don’t have all the information for things that don’t pertain to their classes specifically. If the answer to your question is available to you elsewhere, you might not get a response to your inquiry. It may take thirty seconds to ask and answer, but imagine repeating that process 85 times throughout the day!
Studio Gear
Visit our Bonfire store for shirts, tanks, and sweatshirts with the studio logo.
Class Attire
Your initial uniform is issued to you upon enrollment, and we are building a stock to keep at the studio, but if we don't have your size or color on hand, or you want to purchase extras like skirts or pants, we have an online store set up in your DSP parent portal. Log in and select "Online Store" in the menu or quick links.
PLEASE NOTE: We will be rewarding any level with 100% dress code compliance with a party at the end of each semester. We are now incorporating shorts, skirts, pants, and wrap sweaters into our class uniform attire. Your dancer may wear these items during class and remain dress code compliant. Studio logo shirts and hoodies from our Bonfire store will be considered compliant. Outside items will not be considered compliant.
