What happens if my child misses a class?

If your child will miss class, please inform the front desk so that they can relay the message to the teacher(s).  If a makeup class is available, you are always more than welcome to make up that class during the summer or first half of the Fall season. We cannot promise there will be any openings available for every age group, so contact us first if you are interested in a makeup class. We will do our best to accommodate. 

Can we try a class before committing?

Yes, as long as the desired class is open! 

Do you close for inclement weather?

Yes, we follow Chesterfield County Public School's inclement weather closings. We do NOT make up classes that have been cancelled for inclement weather.

Does Spotlight Compete?

We are not a competitive studio. We have a year end recital in which all dancers participate. Our company program offers dancers the opportunity to perform at charity and community events. We haven chosen to prioritize other values over trophies.

How many students are needed to hold a class?

Classes need a minimum of 6 to hold it's place on the schedule.  If a class closes, students can choose another class, or will be thoughtfully placed in another class.

When does your season begin and do you have open enrollment year-round?

Our season runs September - June. Our annual recital is held in June. We accept new enrollment until late in the year, as long as the desired class has not reached maximum enrollment.


If you are a Teen or Adult dancer, we do offer drop-in classes. Please click below for more information regarding drop-in classes.

Drop-in Classes

Do you do private lessons?

Yes private lessons are available in all of our offered genres.  See the front desk for availability. 

How do you communicate with families? What is Team App?

Our primary sources of communication are Team App and email. We ask that everyone provide us with a current email address, and download Team App on their smartphones so you can stay updated with necessary studio information.

Team App is Spotlight's very own form of communication. You can download Team App, for free, from your app stores or online with laptops, tablets etc.     

Once you have downloaded the App, Recreational dancers search for "Spotlight Studio of Dance" and Company dancers search for "Spotlight Company". Once you're in, create a profile and you're all set!    

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Can parents observe classes?

Absolutely! We have windows outside of every studio, so feel free to stay and watch, or drop-off and Pick-up your child. 

Is there a separate costume or recital fee?

No. Costumes are included for free with tuition for everyone who participates in the end of the year recital. Group photos are free and given to each class at the end of the season, along with a downloadable video of their recital dance.
