Prompt and regular attendance is expected of all students. Any student more than 15 minutes late will not be permitted to dance but will observe instead. If an absence cannot be avoided, the missed lesson may be made up in another class as arranged by the instructor. Parents are expected to pick up their children immediately following class. If a child must remain late, please notify the school administrative assistant in advance. Students taking the final class of the evening must never be left late for any reason.

Ballet Memphis School has a required uniform for all students that enables the teacher to best see and evaluate each student.

Please see individual class listings for specific colors and styles. Students should not wear the following items: jewelry, underwear, sweaters, leg warmers.

Leotards, tights, and shoes are available online at Discount Dance, or locally at Barbara's Dancewear in East Memphis, or you can visit this link for a gender neutral unitard choice.

Students must wear appropriate street clothing over their dance attire when entering and leaving the building.

Ballet Memphis follows the Shelby County Schools’ inclement weather policy. If city schools are closed because of weather, all classes are canceled for that day. If it begins snowing later in the day, please wait until 3 p.m. to call the studio. Whenever possible, up-to-date information will be emailed to registered students, posted on this website and on Ballet Memphis' Facebook page.

Tuition

Tuition may be paid all at once or in monthly installments for the 32-week ballet school year or by semester for our Discover Dance levels.

You may register online or by phone at 901-737-7322. Our classes fill up quickly, so please reserve your child's place in the desired class early. Tuition is only refundable up until seven (7) days preceding the beginning of each semester. No refunds will be given once the semester begins.

All tuition arrangements and payments for students are handled by the School & Company Manager.

Financial Aid

A limited number of full and partial scholarships are available to school-age students through age 18 whose circumstances warrant assistance. Financial assistance is awarded as applications are received for the period of one school year (August through May), and must be resubmitted annually. Contact Courtney Sage if interested in applying for financial assistance.
