• What are the Session dates for 2026-2027 classes? Visit https://dancecrestedbutte.org/calendar for 2026-27 session and show dates.
• Do you offer payment plans? Yes! If you prefer to pay your tuition in installments, please contact Alice at programs@dancecrestedbutte.org to set up a payment plan.
• Do you offer scholarships? Yes! We provide scholarships for students of all levels of ability and ages (youth and adults). Visit dancecrestedbutte.org/scholarships for more information, including application forms and deadlines.
• How do registration fees work? Most sessions have a Late Registration Fee. However, we love it when students register early! Early registration is vital for our organization and helps our individual instructors prepare for their classes. To encourage families to register early, you will not have to pay the Late Registration Fee if you register by the Early Registration Deadline. For the Youth Fall Session 2026, please register by Friday August 21 to avoid the Late Registration Fee of $25 per family. For more information, visit dancecrestedbutte.org/youth-registration or dancecrestedbutte.org/adult-registration.
• If a class you wish to take is full, please add your name to the waitlist! That way we will know how many want to take that class and may be able to add a class to accommodate demand.

• Most classes in the YOUTH SESSIONS will perform in Nutcracker [Rated CB] in December!  Each Youth Class in the show will include a $50 “Nutcracker Performance Fee” in the tuition.

• For the Youth Fall Sessions, we’ve worked to minimize conflicts between fall and winter sports and our dance programming. Please reach out to ask about any special circumstances for your students.
• There will be no youth classes September 7, September 28, October 12-16, and November 23-27. Adult classes may vary.
