Step Into Pointe: Summer Series



Ready to take your ballet training to the next level? Our "Step Into Pointe" summer series is designed for new pointe dancers or those preparing for pointe work. This program provides focused, intentional training to build strength, refine technique, and foster confidence.


Running from June 17th to July 17th, dancers will train in either pre-pointe or pointe based on individual readiness, with placements determined by our expert instructors.

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.
