FAQs

Where are your classes located?

Our classes are located in a basement studio at a convenient location in the heart of residential Kemp Mill. 

​

What should my daughter wear to class?

Your daughter should wear what she is comfortable moving in.  If your daughter wishes to wear a skirt, we ask that she wear leggings underneath so she is comfortable stretching.  Please no straight line skirts.  Ballet shoes or jazz shoes for corresponding classes.  If she doesn't have yet, socks will work.  For gymnastics and TKD classes, girls should be barefoot.  She should have her hair pulled back either in a ponytail or in a bun for ballet classes.

​

What should my daughter bring to class?

A water bottle!  We have no water fountain in the studio.  Girls are responsible for bringing their own water bottles to class.

​

Will the June performance be open to everyone?

No, the June performance is open to women and girls only.  ​

Why can't my daughter join some of the dance classes for just the Winter Session?

Previous experience has shown us that, for classes with students over 1st grade, adding in students after the culmination of the Fall Session is detrimental to all parties involved: the returning students, the new student and the teacher.  Imagine the class of 10-12 girls where they have all been there working on material for 10 weeks together, and then your child joins the class, totally new.  How do you think she feels when she's trying to get caught up?  She's going to feel self conscious, and maybe even get frustrated with herself.  Or worse, feel like she's not a good dancer and not want to continue, even though she was put in a situation that is totally not ideal for her.  And imagine how the rest of the class feels when the teacher is spending time breaking down the material that they've been working on in trying to get her caught up.  Are they waiting patiently while the teacher spends time with this child? Or are they getting frustrated and start talking/acting out in the class?  Experience has shown us time and time again that this is not a good fit for anyone and leads to frustration and resentment.  If you feel like your child is a unique case, please reach out, as we can make exceptions on a case-by-case basis.

​

Can my daughter wait either before or after her class at La Zooz?

No, unfortunately we do not have a waiting room or a properly supervised space to accommodate your daughter while she waits.  Children should not be brought more than 5 minutes before the start of class and should be picked up within 5-10 minutes of the class's ending time.
