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. Easy for everyone! You can do many other things though your portal, like order dancewear, recital tickets, and recital goodies, access files for studio and class information, see the studio's calendar, and register for classes.
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 or directly to Kara. Please do invite/add additional parents, and your dancers who have Facebook accounts! Everyone must answer the questions so we can keep the group focused on its intended purpose.
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. If your child has an email address, it can be added to their profile in the DSP system so that they can stay informed and take some responsibility for their own 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, or the response will be where you can find the answer. It may take thirty seconds to ask and answer, but imagine repeating that process 80 times throughout the day. Nothing else would get done!
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 in regular season classes. You can place orders for any class attire in the Online Store section of your parent portal. We have leotards, tights, boys' attire, and shoes, as well as extras like skirts or pants. If we don't have your size or color on hand, we will get it. Log in and select "Online Store" in the menu or quick links.
Some examples of skin-color-matching and how good it looks! No more pink for us!
Recital 2025

Upcoming dates you will need. Changes will be announced.

Dancers should report to the house (that's where the audience sits) upon arrival. If your Teal/Black dancer is not in ballet, they may leave after their blocking time and return at 3:00pm. YOUR DANCER MAY NOT LEAVE AT ALL UNLESS AN ADULT TELLS KARA. It is very important that we know where everyone is. All others should NOT leave once they are on site. Curtain is 4:00pm.
