REGISTER NOW for the 2013/14 Dance Season

EDCI's 11th ANNUAL OPEN HOUSE & REGISTRATION  will take place at the studio from Tues Sept 3rd - Thurs Sept 5th from 4pm - 8pm. View the facilities, meet the staff, get more information, view our photos/videos and costumes, and register for the classes of your choice (subject to availability ~ age/level restrictions and/or class pre-requisites may apply). Please stop by and speak to us if you have questions in regards to which classes would be best suited to your son/daughter prior to registering. 

ONLINE REGISTRATION is available for your convenience by following the registration link on our website - we even accept online payments via Paypal. If you prefer, you can drop off a cheque (including your first installment and $25 Annual Registration Fee) through our studio mail slot after completing your online registration. 

NOTE: if you are submitting a cheque with an online registration, please note this in the "additional info" section at the bottom of your online registration form and we will process it fully once your payment is received at the studio. 

At EDCI, we believe in quality over quantity, therefore we offer smaller class sizes in a smaller studio environment for greater individual attention. Just be sure to register early, as space is limited and classes do fill up quickly. 

Classes begin the week of September 9, 2013.

*Note: Adult and specialty 8-week programs will begin later in the season ~ dates to be announced. 


Upcoming Studio Events: 

Week 1 - ORIENTATION WEEK (Monday Sept 9th - Saturday Sept 14th) 
Come out to your first week of classes, meet your teacher, make new friends, learn about your class and ask any questions you may have at this time. Don't worry about your "class uniform" during this week, just wear something comfortable (dance wear / body wear, yoga pants, fitted tank top, etc.) Please bring the appropriate dance shoes if they still fit, or just plan to wear your bare feet until you get all of your class uniform information for the season.  We encourage students/parents not to purchase anything until after the 2nd week of classes (see week 2 info below) so that you are certain of which classes you are going to be taking for the remainder of the season. 

Week 2 - DANCE EXTRAVAGANZA WEEK 
(Monday Sept 16th - Saturday Sept 21st) 
During this week all *Registered Students* can try any class for their age/level free of charge. Students wishing to transfer classes after this week may do so at the Director's discretion (space permitting ~ age/level restrictions and/or class pre-requisites may apply).
Also during Week 2 - BRING-A-FRIEND WEEK (Monday Sept 16th - Saturday Sept 21st) 
All *Registered students* may bring a friend to their regular classes (free of charge) during this week only. 

Week 3 - CLASS CONFIRMATION WEEK (Monday Sept 23rd - Saturday Sept 28th) 
By this week, students have had the opportunity to try a variety of classes and should now be settling into their confirmed classes for the remainder of the season. Parents should be submitting all post-dated cheques for the remainder of the season (see our payment options & studio policies for further information, if necessary). 
Students should also be arriving to their classes in the official class uniform or be purchasing their class uniform sometime during this week. For your convenience, some items may be available at the studio. Please check with us at the front desk.

Week 4 - CLASS UNIFORM WEEK (Mon Sept 30th - Sat Oct 5th) all students will be required to attend their class in their "Official Class Uniform" from this week onward, for the remainder of the season. 

*Please speak to us in regards to class uniforms prior to purchasing anything to avoid error/confusion, as most body wear / tights / shoes are often non-refundable and/or non-exchangeable. Students will be required to wear the appropriate attire as outlined in the Uniform Requirements, as"similar items" or "alternatives" will not be accepted for class. 

NOTE: We will gladly give you more information regarding where to purchase the required dance uniform for your classes. 

More upcoming studio events to be announced shortly, including our Halloween Week, Spirit Week, and our Annual Winter Recital in December 2013.
