Frequently asked question
Here are a few answers to our most common questions
1. What ages do you teach?
We offer classes for students ages 2.5 years old through adults.
2. May I take a free trial class?
Yes. If you are interested in attending a class, please email us at mydanceworldacademy@gmail.com.
If space is available, we may be able to accommodate a free trial class for you or your child.
Please note that free trial classes are not available for our Little Stars program. For this class, we recommend enrolling for one month so your child has time to adjust and experience the class.
3. Will I be the oldest in class?
Class placement is generally determined by age. However, if a student demonstrates more advanced skills, the instructor may recommend moving them to a higher level.
4. Do I have to participate in the dance recital?
Participation in the dance recital is optional. Recital dates and details will be shared with parents in advance.
5. Do we have to buy costumes or would MDWA provide it?
Yes. Students who participate in performances are required to purchase their costumes through MDWA. Costume prices typically range between $80–$120, depending on the routine and costume design.
6. Do students have to pay registration fee in order to participate in MDWArecitals?
No. Students enrolled at MDWA do not need to pay an additional registration fee to participate in the recital.
7. Do parents or anyone coming to the recital have to buy tickets?
Yes. Anyone attending the recital other than the performing student will need to purchase a ticket. Ticket information will be shared closer to the recital date.
8. How do I know if my child is placed in the correct class level?
Our instructors continuously evaluate students throughout the year to ensure they are in the appropriate class level. If needed, adjustments may be recommended.
Parents are always welcome to speak with the instructor if they have questions about placement.
10. Will my child progress each year?
Yes. MDWA follows a progressive curriculum, and students continue developing their skills each year. As they grow and improve, they move into more advanced levels of training.
In some of the older age groups, the class name may remain the same, but the level of training and choreography will continue to advance.
11. Should my child take multiple classes per week?
Students ages 2.5-7 typically do not need to take multiple classes per week.
After age 7, depending on a student’s interest and dedication to dance, they may choose to enroll in additional classes. Like any sport or art form, the more you practice and train, the more progress you will see.
12. How do I know what classes to enroll in?
Students should enroll based on their age, as recommended in the “Dance Levels” section. If you are unsure or need assistance, please feel free to contact us and we will be happy to help guide you.
13. If I want to speak to a teacher should I catch them after their class?
Teachers often move quickly between classes and may not always have time to speak immediately after class.
If you would like to speak with a teacher, please leave a message via email at mydanceworldacademy@gmail.com and we will make sure the teacher follows up with you.
14. Do you offer private lessons?
Yes. We offer solo private lessons, group private lessons, wedding choreography sessions, and other event-based private lessons.

15. Do I get a credit for the holiday closings or if I miss a class?
We do not provide credits for holiday closures. Tuition remains the same even if a month occasionally has more or fewer classes.
We also do not provide credits for missed classes. Tuition reserves your child’s spot in the class, so as long as tuition is current, your spot will remain secured.
16. What happens if we paid for a month but my child was unable to attend? Can my payment be refunded or rolled over?
If you will be away for an extended period (such as a vacation) and would like to keep your child’s spot, please let us know in advance.
We can freeze an account for up to two months. During this time, you may be required to pay the upcoming month’s tuition in advance in order to secure the spot.
17. Is the registration fee a one-time fee?
Yes. A $50 registration fee is charged every September for all enrolled students. This fee does not prorate, regardless of when a student enrolls during the year.
