Studio A provided a safe space for me to let go & be complately myself whenever I walked through the doors. I made lifelong friendships there and was given amazing training that prepared me for my professional dance career. I don't know where I'd be without the Studio A family, & I am so gradteful that I got to be a apart of such a great studio.
Studio A is a place where my daughter is allowed to be creative in new ways while being fearless and strong.
We are so grateful and love being part of Studio A Dance. It's not just a dance studio, it's a family! The staff of teachers are beyond talented and dedicated to each dancer. My girl has not only learned dance over the years, she's also learned valuable life lessons. The teachers have helped shape her into a beautiful dancer and the person she is today! We will forever cherish the unforgettable memories and friendships we've gained with our Studio A Dance family!

Please check your email and our facebook page for any weather cancellations. Please know that we absolutely love teaching your kids and having to cancel class is frustrating to us as a studio. However, the safety of our families and staff has to be a priority and when weather causes unsafe conditions, sometimes we have to make that difficult decision to close.Unfortunately, cancelations for weather are just part of living in Iowa.There will be no refunds for classes missed due to weather. Please remember that your tuition payments go toward not only your dance classes, but to many other things that allow us to make Studio A a great experience. We thank you for your understanding and your trust in us that we will only close when absolutely necessary.
We greatly appreciate a call to let us know if your dancer will not be attending class. As a result of COVID, make up classes will not be permitted in an effort to keep the mixing of students to a minimum. Thank you for your understanding.
Studio A requires one month's notice of class cancellation. To cancel, please send a drop request via your parent portal. Cancellations will not be taken over the phone or in person, only online.
