Helpful Information for 2026 Youth Fall Session

We’ve tried hard to minimize conflicts between fall sports and our dance programming. We have class options that should work with most U5, U6, U8, U10, U12, U15, and U19 soccer schedules. If your child is doing another sport or activity that conflicts with the dance class they want to take, please contact programs@dancecrestedbutte.org to discuss options, including partial-session enrollment.
We LOVE early registration! As an incentive to register early, we will automatically waive the registration fee if you register for classes by FRIDAY, AUGUST 21. A one-time $25 Late Registration Fee will be charged per family after August 21.
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. Please understand that at this time we are unable to offer Aerial classes.
Minimum enrollment for classes is 5 students. If there is low enrollment for a class, it will be cancelled before the session begins or after the first week of classes. We encourage you to reach out to friends groups and get them enrolled together!
Scholarships are available! Applications are due by Friday, August 7. Please visit the Scholarship page to apply. Email programs@dancecrestedbutte.org to reserve your student’s space in classes until scholarships are awarded.
Payment plans are available.
The Youth Fall Session will culminate with Nutcracker [Rated CB], December 11-12, 2026. Most classes will have the opportunity to perform in this show.
Show Week will be Sunday, December 7 through Saturday, December 12. There are no regular classes this week. We will share schedule details later, but please expect to have rehearsals throughout this week!
Each class that will perform in the shows has a $50 “Nutcracker Performance Fee” built into the tuition. This fee helps cover overall production costs, show week rehearsals at the Center, and costume rentals for each student.
If you do not wish to participate in Nutcracker [Rated CB] and/or want a more flexible dance schedule, you’re welcome to fully register or drop-in to the classes of your choice, and we can waive the $50 Performance Fee.
Single drop-ins and punchcards will be accepted for “drop-in eligible” classes in Youth Fall Session (as long as the class isn’t full). However, you will not be able to perform in Nutcracker [Rated CB] without fully registering for the class.
No classes: September 7 (Labor Day), September 28 (CBCS Day Off), October 12-16 (CBCS Fall Break), or November 23-27 (CBCS Thanksgiving Break).
Contact programs@dancecrestedbutte.org to set up payment plans, for registration questions, and for help with finding the right classes for your kids!

Dress Code

Hair

Hair should be secured back and away from the face in ALL dance classes including Tap and Hip Hop.
Hair should be secured to the head in a bun or some other fashion for classes with turns. High ponytails and braids will hinder turning and spotting ability with flying hair.
Hair should be in a bun for ballet class.

Attire

Pre K - Grade 5

Students should wear tights and a leotard or leggings with a form-fitting shirt. All dance clothing should be fitted rather than baggy, and comfortable. Dancewear should help the student feel like a dancer!

Grade 6-12

Ballet- Traditional ballet attire is pink tights, a black leotard, and ballet shoes. Fitted shorts and ballet skirts are acceptable over tights and leotards. We prefer that students do not wear shirts over their leotards, but if they do, shirts should be fitted and solid colors. In the winter, warm fitted layers like leg warmers and wrap sweaters are encouraged to keep muscles warm. Take your time to find appropriate ballet attire that makes you feel like the best version of yourself! Talk to your teachers for dancewear tips!

Tap-Leggings and fitted top with tap shoes. (socks optional)

Jazz, Lyrical Jazz, Contemporary, Improv- Leggings and a fitted top. Check with teachers for preferred footwear.

Aerial – Form-fitting tops that cover the underarms and bottoms that cover the backs of the knees. Clothes should not have zippers or buttons. NO jewelry.

Hip Hop – Clean sneakers and clothes that are easy to move in.
