Hope Academy’s first day of dance classes for 2024-2025 is on Saturday, September 21. This will be a “get to know you” and “get settled” day as students are evaluated for placement.

A dance clothing and shoe “swap” will be scheduled so that families can return their gently-used items and pick up new sizes. Anyone can donate (and we are grateful for all items that fit our dress code), but we will only be able to provide dance clothing and shoes to our students. Full Scholarship Plus students will have the first opportunity to pick out their dance clothes and shoes.

DANCE CLOTHING AND SHOE DONATIONS 

Donations can be dropped off at the Highland Ave entrance of East Liberty Presbyterian Church 

FOR DANCE STUDENTS IN ALL CLASSES
Because we do not have changing rooms, students should come to class wearing their dance attire under their street clothes. Please pack your dance bag with everything you need and check it before you leave your house.

Temperatures in our studios fluctuate so layering is best. Please bring a form-fitted dance sweater (nothing bulky or with a hood) and pack a water bottle.
