Choosing a new dance school

For all the Moms, Dads and dancers out there who have recently moved to a new area and are faced with finding a new dance school. Remember that dance schools come in all shapes and sizes, some are geared toward younger dancers, some toward advanced students, some are all about ballet, and some are all about competition. Know what kind of school you are looking for first, then research what is available in your area by doing a yellowpages search for dance instruction or by finding the local dancewear retail store and asking if they have a list of schools in the area. If the schools have a web site, pull it up and READ the school policies, check out the faculty, and determine whether they are a competition school.
