- The lock survives a skipped term. Your founding rate stays available even if your family skips a term.

- Moving classes follows the tiers. When a dancer moves to a class of a different length, the founding tier for that length applies — $14 for 30–35 minutes, $18 for 45–60 minutes — not one fixed dollar amount.
- Adult Ballet Founding Dancers. Adult Ballet participants who enroll by October 10 are Founding Dancers and keep the $18 per-class founding rate.

- Enroll any time. Join mid-session and tuition is prorated to the classes remaining.

The displayed tuition is for the current session, calculated from the remaining Fall Introduction classes (Mondays Aug 24 – Oct 5; Saturdays Aug 29 – Oct 10, off Sep 5 & Sep 12). General spring / regular rates may change when they publish — Founding Families keep their $14/$18 founding tiers. Request a free trial — no commitment.
Meet your teacher
Hi, I’m Ms. Tori
I’m a Houston native with about 20 years as a professional dancer and teacher — first on stage, performing on Broadway, as a Radio City Rockette, and around the world, and then in the studio teaching in the New York City area.
Now I’m bringing that experience home to the Heights as a founder-led studio, where I teach every class myself. My style is creative and imaginative — real technique delivered as joyful fun — so kids build confidence on and off the dance floor.
Because I teach every class, your child learns from one familiar, dedicated teacher, every single week.
Good to know
Parent FAQ
Is my child safe here?
Safety comes first. Every adult working with children completes a background check before the first class, we keep a no-unsupervised-one-on-one rule, and there’s a first-aid-trained adult on site during classes. Our full safeguarding policy is written down and shared with families.
What should my child wear?
Comfy clothes they can move in. Our littlest movers are happiest in bare feet or grippy socks; pre-ballet dancers can wear soft ballet slippers. A quick note: the studio floor can be slippery in smooth-soled slippers, so grippy soles help — we’ll guide you at your trial.
Is there a dress code?
Comfy, easy-to-move-in clothes are perfect for our youngest movers and for any first trial. For enrolled ballet classes (Twinkle Twos, Pre-Ballet A & B, and Ballet I): a leotard and tights with ballet slippers — girls in a pink or black leotard, pink tights, and pink slippers (a ballet skirt is optional); boys in a white or black shirt with black bottoms and black slippers. For every class: no jewelry except stud earrings, and hair pulled back off the face.
Can I watch the class?
In Magic Minis a grown-up dances right along with their child. For our older classes, we’ll help you settle your little one in and share how viewing works so class stays focused and fun.
Do boys dance here too?
Absolutely. Every class is for every kid — ballet included.
How does the free trial work?
Request a free trial and we’ll contact you to confirm your class date and time — your trial isn’t scheduled until you receive that confirmation. The introductory class is free and isn’t billed. If you decide to enroll afterward, fall tuition is prorated to the classes remaining.
Can we join mid-session?
Yes — while fall classes are still meeting, you can join mid-session. Fall classes meet Mondays through October 5 and Saturdays through October 10. When you join mid-session, tuition is prorated to the classes remaining, and your first class is a free trial. After the last fall class, Spring 2027 begins Saturday, January 9.
When is Fall Introduction?
Mondays Aug 24 – Oct 5 (Labor Day, Sep 7, off) — a six-week course. Saturdays Aug 29 – Oct 10 (no class Sep 5 Labor Day weekend or Sep 12) — a five-week course. Monday: Magic Minis 9:00, Pre-Ballet A 9:30, Twinkle Twos 10:15, then after school Pre-Ballet B 4:00 and Ballet I 4:45. Saturday: Adult Ballet 8:30, Pre-Ballet A 9:30, Twinkle Twos 10:15, Pre-Ballet B 11:00, Creative Movement 11:45. Spring 2027 begins Saturday, January 9.
What is the Founding Families offer?
Households that enroll by October 10, 2026 become Founding Families and lock in the founding per-class tiers: $14 for 30–35 minute classes and $18 for 45–60 minute classes. The founding rate stays available even if your family skips a term, and future siblings receive your family’s founding rates. When a dancer moves to a class of a different length, the founding tier for that length applies ($14 or $18) — not one fixed dollar amount. Adult Ballet participants who enroll by October 10, 2026 are Founding Dancers and keep the $18 per-class founding rate. General rates may change later; Founding Families keep their founding tiers.
