CREATIVE BALLET
Overview
TPB’s Creative Ballet program is recommended for little ones who love to twirl and leap. It offers a fun, guided way for children aged 3-6 to explore dance through classes that encourage an exploration of movement in a safe and non-competitive environment. TPB’s trained staff introduces children to basic dance steps while developing motor skills, strength, balance and flexibility. TPB also works on social skills such as taking turns and following directions, as well as musicality, creativity, and joy in movement.
Registration and Payment
Each Creative Ballet Session costs $120 for eight weeks. If you wish to sign up after the session has begun, please call the studio for information about late registration. TPB does not offer refunds. Not sure if your child is ready for Creative Ballet? He or she is welcome to attend a trial class at no charge. If your child would like to continue with the class, the trial will be part of the remainder of the tuition. Parents who wish to enroll their children must complete a Registration Form. Register early, as class size is limited. Classes that do not meet minimum enrollment may be cancelled.
You may register online, by phone, or in person at the studio. Please pay for your child’s session at the time of registration. TPB accepts checks, cash, VISA, and Mastercard. Tuition payments are not tax-deductible as a charitable donation, and we do not provide refunds.
If your child must stop attending the session for any reason, TPB will apply a credit to your TPB account, but cannot issue a refund once the session has started. TPB does not offer make-up sessions for missed Creative Ballet classes.

Class Observation
TPB invites parents and family to observe the Creative Ballet classes at the end of each session. This is a great time to invite grandparents and see what the class has been learning. Prior to the observation time, we ask that families please wait outside the studio to minimize distractions during class.
- Turn off all cell phones and pagers.
- No food or drinks are allowed in the studio.
- Please no talking during class.
- No cameras or camcorders. Due to privacy concerns from parents, we do not allow photography or videography.
- Please arrive on time! Late students and parents are very disruptive to the class.
Creative Ballet Class Expectations
- Enter the studio on time in a respectful manner.
- Remain in the studio for the full 45 minute class time.
- Use the restroom before class. If the dancer is not fully restroom independent we require that one parent/guardian remain in the lobby. TPB staff is not able to assist dancers in the restrooms.
