Step In Time Dance

ONLINE REGISTRATION
is now OPEN for the 2025-2026 Season!

IMPORTANT STEPS FOR REGISTRATION:
Below you will find some of the most common reasons people reach out for trouble shooting their registration and the solution. If you already are comfortable with the registration process you can scroll down to find the registration link and schedule.

COMMON ISSUES WHEN REGISTERING- Please see these most common issues if you're having trouble with registration.

Once your registration is submitted you will see a purple/pink thumbs up screen that confirms your classes have been submitted. If you do not get to this screen your registration is NOT COMPLETE. The last step before getting to this page is to click on SUBMIT CLASSES FOR REVIEW button at the bottom of the page. It will look like you've already been added to classes because it will list all of the classes you wish to register for, but this is decieving and you need to scroll to the bottom to click on the SUBMIT CLASSES FOR REVIEW button for us to see anything on our end. Once you submit it can take up to 2 business days for the class to appear in your account as we need to manually approve all incoming registrations.
If you do not have a Dakiki account, you need to create one. Please do so by clicking the registration link below.
If you do not click the link below and just create a Dakiki account it will not link you to our studio and we won't be able to see your account on our end. If you end up creating an account with out going through our website or you're switching to our studio from another studio that uses Dakiki, our studio code is: XDYZXJ
Once your account is created you need to activate your account with the activation email you receive from Dakiki. This email oftentimes goes to junk/spam so you might need to check there if you don't see it in your inbox.
THE APP DOES NOT WORK FOR REGISTRATION OR PAYMENTS. You need to login using an internet browser (chrome, safari, etc...). It's best to do the registration process on a desktop or laptop. It will work on a mobile device but the screens can be a little trickier to navigate on a mobile device. The app can be used to see class times, update your child's attendance and it will also be used for recital videos at the end of the season.
When adding your dancer to your account, do not add an email unless it's different than the account email. This email is only used if we want to look it up and will not send any communication to that email. Only the account email will receive communication.
If all else fails and you can't get the registration to work for you, please contact us at info@stepintimedance.ca and include as much information as possible (dancer name, birthdate, location, class, allergies, phone number, etc...) and we can register them on our end manually. Emails are monitored on a reduced schedule for the summer but we will check in as often as we can.

What does my dancer need to wear to class?
ATTIRE/SHOES
• Recreational mash-up classes: dancers should wear comfortable exercise attire that they can easily move in and hair up. Shoes are not mandatory, but a pair of jazz shoes or black ballet slippers will work for most styles this season. A clean pair of sneakers for hip hop month is also recommended.
• Competitive Prep technique: Dancers will require jazz shoes, ballet slippers and tap shoes. Hair should be in a ponytail or a bun. • Competition Level B: Dancers will require all white sneakers for hip hop, jazz shoes, turning shoes or ballet slippers (to be determined by instructor) and tap shoes. Dancers must wear form fitted clothing for both classes. For technique, hair must be in a clean dancer bun and for choreography, hair must but up in either a ponytail or a bun.
• Competition Level A/B: Dancers will require all white sneakers for hip hop, jazz shoes, turning shoes and tap shoes. Dancers must wear form fitted clothing for both classes. For technique, hair must be in a clean dancer bun and for choreography, hair must but up in either a ponytail or a bun.

How early do I drop my dancer off for class?
DROP OFF/PICK UP
Dancers are to be dropped off at the door no earlier than 5 minutes prior to class beginning. Some exceptions are made for our pre-school classes as they tend to take longer to get in the door; however, the older students should not arrive any earlier than 5-10 minutes early as they are not supervised until the class begins. Pick-up is available at the door after class. Instructors will open the doors when parents can enter for pickup. This system worked very well during the pandemic and avoided crowded coat areas so we will continue to use this strategy for drop-off and pick-up. Please no parents in the coat area during classes.

Can I stay and watch the class?

We do not allow parents to stay and watch classes. It is important for class structure that the instructor is the authority figure in the room. For pre-school dancers, parents can enter the coat area to drop off, assist their dancer and then send them in with the instructor once they’re ready. Instructors will coordinate pickup after class is done so please wait outside until they notify you to come in and pick up your dancer. Go get a coffee, relax and enjoy the break ☺
Note: we recognize that for pre-school aged dancers, the start of a new season can be an adjustment. If a child is upset, a parent may stay with them in the coat area for a few minutes to coax them in. We do not recommend this method as it tends to prolong the difficulty with drop off; however, we recognize that every child is different and what works for each child can vary. Sometimes all it takes is some coaxing or a pickup with an assistant to adjust. After a few weeks if they are still struggling with drop off, they may need to wait until next season to start.

What is a Mash-Up class? What is a Competitive Prep Technique class?
RECREATIONAL CLASSES
• Recreational Mash-Up Classes: The mash-up classes introduce dancers to a variety of styles throughout the season! For the first 6-8 weeks, instructors will introduce a new style each week so dancers can get a feel for each style. Starting in November, each month will feature a different style and dancers will learn some fun choreography as well as some basic technique and skills that go with each style. At the end of the season, the instructors will pick which styles the dancers will perform in the Year-End Showcase in June. This season we will introduce the following styles to our dancers: Jazz, Lyrical, Ballet, Musical Theatre, Acro & Hip Hop. Mash-up classes are available in both Hampton and Sussex locations for the following age groups: Age 3, Age 4, Age 5-6, Age 7-8, Age 9-10.

• Competitive Prep Technique Classes: These classes are for the budding dancer who wants to delve more into the technique and conditioning aspects of dance class. They are an add-on to the mash-up classes and will help prepare dancers who are interested in advancing to one of the competitive levels in the future. This class will not learn choreography but will instead focus on skills and conditioning. This class is by invitation only. Please email info@stepintimedance.ca for more information.
