You should always feel welcome to check with our staff to determine your dancer’s placement. Our Academy Classes are designed for our young and beginning dancers. Our Elite Academy Classes are focused on helping dancers reach their full potential, and Team SDA is a competitive dance ensemble that interested dancers can audition to be a part of.

Our cost per class starts at $95 for the first class, with each additional class costing only $57 per class. Our program runs from the end of August to the end of May (36 weeks total), and tuition for classes is paid monthly.

Make-up classes are available when a dancer has to miss his/her scheduled class. The office staff can assist when it is necessary to schedule a make-up class. Make-up classes should be scheduled within thirty days of the missed class. Unfortunately, tuition cannot be prorated for missed classes.

We have many different opportunities for dancers to perform. All students are encouraged to participate in our annual recital. This is a chance for our SDA dancers to show the skills they’ve been working hard on throughout the year. Our Elite Academy Classes and Team SDA dancers have additional performance options. For our dancers that love classical ballet, we encourage participation in the Shreveport Metro Ballet. And, our tap, jazz, and contemporary dancers have multiple occasions to represent SDA at various competitions throughout the region.
