Youth And Teen Classes

The Motion Pacific Youth + Teen Program provides students of all ages the opportunity to experience dance. We are dedicated to high-quality training within a non-competitive environment and offer access to many forms of dance. Our curriculum caters to each student’s strengths and is designed to encourage creative expression and positive body image. All bodies (big, small, fat, trans, fluid, BIPOC, differently-abled and/or disabled, etc.) are dancers’ bodies. Motion Pacific is a nurturing and dynamic setting for students who seek dance as recreation or as a career path.

Policies

REGISTRATION FEE

A $30 registration fee will be charged for each student who enrolls in our program during the school year.

TRIAL CLASSES

At the beginning of the Fall session, students may take trial classes for a $16 fee. Trial classes are available through the month of September. If the student enrolls, the cost of the trial classes will be subtracted from the full tuition. Trial classes are available for the Little Movers and Young Movers program the first month of both Fall and Spring. Trial classes are subject to availability.

PAYMENT PLAN

Motion Pacific offers payment plans for both Fall and Spring tuition. All payment plans require a current credit card be kept on file with MOTION PACIFIC. Accounts will be charged on the 15th of each month.

SCHOLARSHIPS

Motion Pacific is proud to offer full and partial scholarships for our Youth Program. Scholarships are awarded based on commitment and financial need. Students must have previously attended at least one semester with Motion Pacific or have two letters of reference from a prior studio. If you are a first-time visitor at Motion Pacific and require financial assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to .

ABSENCES

Regular attendance is the basis of artistic and technical growth; consistency is extremely important for the student, teacher and class. If you know that your child will be absent from any classes, or if your child becomes sick, please notify us as soon as possible by leaving a message at (408) 508-5125. Excessive absences will affect the student's level placement for the following year and participation in the end-of-year recital.

PLACEMENTS

Recommendations will be made to students that currently attend Motion Pacific about placement. New students will be assessed upon attendance to their first class. It is HIGHLY recommended that you do not enroll your child in ballet or contemporary classes until they have attended a class for assessment first.

CLASS OBSERVATIONS

During class, studios are closed to observers. However, there are scheduled Parent Observation Days for selective classes. These days provide an opportunity for parents to experience their child's dance class, firsthand. Class observations are scheduled at the beginning of the session and announced throughout the session.

POLICY OF INCLUSION

Motion Pacific values a culture of inclusion and friendliness in our studio classrooms from the start of the session. The Motion Pacific Youth & Teen Program has zero tolerance for bullying or exclusion of any kind—physical or emotional.
