SUMMER SEMESTER DATES

Our Summer Semester runs June 13 through August 14 and includes 8 weeks of classes, with one week off for the Fourth of July holiday.

Class pricing is based on the full 8-week summer semester.

This schedule allows dancers to stay consistent in their training while still leaving room for summer travel, family time, and rest..

A Note About Summer Placement

Some summer classes are open by age or experience level, while leveled ballet classes may require placement or instructor recommendation.

If your dancer is new to Tye Chua Dance, has previous training, or falls between age ranges, please contact us before registering so we can help determine the best fit.

Adult dancers are welcome to register for the full summer session or purchase drop-in classes when available.
