E'chappe Dance Arts accepts children ages two to seventeen. EDA relies on a positive atmosphere for our instructors, admin’s, dancers and their parents. Our program promotes a positive learning experience for all participants. We believe that the dancer’s success depends on the support of their parents or guardians. Your commitment to the process makes an enormous difference; we encourage you to be a supportive part of your child’s dance education. E'chappe currently offers the following dance genres:
Ballet (Mandatory Class)
Tap
Jazz
Modern (Ages 7+)
Acrobatics (Ages 7+)
Hip Hop
African

Parent observation occurs at two specific times throughout the year. The dates for parent observation are posted on the bulletin boards and are located in the fall brochure. Please plan to stay for the entire class period. No flash photography is permitted. All cell-phones and pagers must be turned to silent or turned off. Show your dancer support by giving them your full attention and encouragement; show your dancer (s) what it is to be a good audience, as you set the best example.
Observation is only permitted at designated times. Prospective students and special cases must be approved by the instructor and Director no later than 1 week prior. The training process is sensitive; your presence may distract or inhibit other students.
