There is a $30.00 fee for all returned checks, no exceptions. When you enroll a dancer at TurnOut, you are enrolling for the entire season, September 2009 through June of 2010 (10 Months).

Break Dancer Recital

Performing on stage before an audience is a significant step in building a young person's self-esteem. The time and effort spent perfecting a dance for performance teaches valuable lesson in discipline, teamwork, and working toward a long-term goal. At the end of every Spring/Beginning of Summer, the culmination of the year's work, the recital is presented. We at TurnOut Movement Arts Studio celebrate each child's individual and team accomplishments. From the practice, to the costume, to the applause of the crowd, it is our goal to make this a moment that will forever be remembered.

Competition Team

Through an emphasis on proper technique and the joy of dance TurnOut Movement Arts Studio instills positive self-esteem and the winning aspects of a successful attitude in students that wish to further their dance options through competitive performance. Each Fall competition tryouts are held at the studio. Students wishing to participate should contact Miss Tracey to express interest.
