Preparatory Division

Our Preparatory division is the perfect place to jumpstart your dancer's growth from ages 4-8!

Designed for children aged 5-8, our Preparatory Division offers an engaging introduction to ballet and tap, focusing on the essential elements of rhythm, movement, and creativity. In Levels 1 & 2, your dancer will explore tap alongside ballet, developing a strong foundation in rhythm and coordination. As they progress to Level 3, they will begin their journey into character dance, broadening their artistic expression and technique. With guidance from our experienced teachers, your dancer will enhance their coordination, musicality, and social skills. Through imaginative activities and structured lessons, they'll build confidence, discipline, and lifelong friendships.

Join us for an unforgettable adventure in the enchanting world of dance!

What are your tuition policies?

We offer 3 payment plans: monthly, semesterly, and yearly. The first and last months of tuition are due at the time of registration. For Conservatory dancers, 30 days of notice must be given to withdraw from the program and tuition must be paid for the full 30 days before the financial agreement is absolved in lieu of paying the first and last months at the time of registration (due to the higher tuition rates). Tuition can be paid by dropping a check into the lockbox at the studio or signing up for auto-pay with your credit card (subject to 3.5% convenience fee). There is a $25 late fee for any payments more than 10 days late. 

Are parents required to stay?

As long as children are toilet-trained, parents are not required to stay during their child's classes. However, we would be pleased to welcome you in our lobby or cafeteria spaces with free wifi!

What are the performance opportunities?

Prima is proud to provide two high-quality performance opportunities per year to our students. Every student can audition in August to participate in The Nutcracker in December. In lieu of a recital, we do a Spring Ballet each year that all students can elect to participate in.
