Clear answers. Better next steps.

The Studance Lab combines structured training with a welcoming, inclusive culture. Programs help dancers build technique, confidence, creativity, teamwork, and a lasting love of movement—from a first class through advanced pre-professional training.

Programs begin with Parent & Me for ages 18 months–3 years. Tiny Tots is for ages 3–4 and requires potty training, Minis for ages 4–5, and YoungStars for ages 5–7. Level 1 generally serves ages 8–13; Levels 2–3 require placement or evaluation. Teen programming is intended for high-school-aged dancers. Placement can vary by readiness and experience.

Preschool classes are generally 45 minutes. Other lengths vary by age, style, level, and program. Check the current 2026–2027 class schedule or contact the front desk.

Use the free-trial page, or contact us at 623-932-1505 or contact@studancelab.com. Review the dress code and arrive a few minutes early.

Use the schedule and tuition page to begin registration. Current families can use the parent portal, and current documents are organized in Parent Resources.

Attire and footwear vary by program and style. Use the Dress Code page or printable guide. Proper dancewear helps instructors see alignment and supports safe movement.

An adult participates in Parent & Me. For other classes, follow the supervision and pickup instructions for the dancer’s age and program, and remain reachable. Children must be picked up promptly. During Friday Open Session, a parent or guardian must remain on site for participants age 12 and younger.

Call the front desk at 623-932-1505 as soon as possible. Late arrival can affect warm-up and safe participation, and dancers must be picked up promptly.

Tuition is based on the 42-week season and paid in monthly installments. A valid card must remain on file, and autopay runs on the first of each month. Tuition is not prorated for short months, holidays, absences, closures, or travel. Accounts unpaid after the 10th may incur a $20 late fee, and dancers may be unable to return after the 15th until the balance is resolved. Current tuition depends on program and weekly training plan.

Eligible single-class drop-ins are $25 when space is available. Contact the studio before arriving to confirm that the class accepts drop-ins and has room.

Yes. Follow the current ESA Payment Guide. A valid card is still required on file, and families remain responsible for balances not covered or delayed by the program.

Seasonal opportunities may include the Live to Give holiday performance, June recital, community appearances, and—depending on the dancer’s pathway—competitions or conventions. Requirements, dates, rehearsals, and fees are announced each season.

Costs and requirements can change by season and program. Former October 1 and $30 costume language is retired. Rely on the current season’s written information in Parent Resources or confirm details with the front desk.

The current pathway progresses from Recreational to Performance Team and then The Company for advanced pre-professional training. Placement is audition- or evaluation-based and requires increased dancer and family commitment. Use the Teams page for current pathways.

Contact the front desk about any available make-up option for the dancer’s age and level. Make-ups depend on availability and current policy; they are not guaranteed. Tuition is not credited or refunded for missed classes, and payments are not transferable.

The studio operates on a 42-week season with monthly billing from July through June. Enrollment continues unless a completed withdrawal form is received by the 15th of the month before the requested withdrawal month. Verbal notice, email, or non-attendance alone does not complete withdrawal.

The Studance Lab was founded by Bonita Saldaña and is operated by Bonita and Gabriel Saldaña. The studio centers high-quality instruction, clear progression, and a supportive environment for dancers and families.
