For Parents/Guardians

Commitment & Time Management

  • Schedule Alignment: Season III rehearsals take place on Saturdays from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, alongside mandatory tech week dates (that will be relayed with advanced notice). Does your dancer have any recurring weekend commitments (academic, family, or other studio training) that might conflict?

  • Transportation & Logistics: Do you have reliable transportation arrangements in place to ensure prompt arrival and pickup at BANDALOOP Studios each week?

Support & Program Alignment

  • At-Home Support: High school and pre-professional training can be demanding. How do you and your family support your dancer when they are balancing heavy workloads or stress?

Financial & Operational Understanding

  • Tuition & Requirements: Have you reviewed the tuition structure ($150/month) and program inclusion specs? Do you have any questions regarding payment schedules or obligations?
