Question 3

Do I go into the class or is there a place for me to watch?

Accepted Answer

We have a waiting room with a closed circuit TV. Most parents stay the first few weeks and after that sometimes wind up doing errands or going for coffee.

Question 4

What if my child won’t go into the class without me?

Accepted Answer

This is not uncommon for a younger child and our teachers (https://www.sharonsdance.com/dance-teachers-whippany-new-jersey)are experienced with this issue. The teacher will first try to bring the child into class without you, but will come ask you to join your dancer in the room if needed. After a couple of lessons, the child usually is fine going in without you.

Question 7

My child is 2 ½, can they take the Preschool Combo Class for 3 ½ - 5 year olds?

Accepted Answer

Our dance classes (https://www.sharonsdance.com/dance-classes)are designed with each specific age group in mind. A trial class (https://www.sharonsdance.com/general-fall-reg-lp)would be recommended. It is most important that the children have fun. If a class is too structured, the student could lose interest. The teacher (https://www.sharonsdance.com/dance-teachers-whippany-new-jersey)would then make a recommendation for you to try again when he/she is a little older.
