The Questions Parents Ask Us Most

  • Does my child need dance experience?
    Not at all. Most of our youngest dancers come in with no prior experience. We design our entry-level programs around discovery — there's no prerequisite beyond curiosity and energy.
  • How do I know which class is right for my child?
    Start by selecting your dancer's current school grade — you'll see the dance styles available for their age group. Watching the style videos on our website together can help you and your dancer decide which classes feel right. If you'd like personalized recommendations, our staff is happy to help by email or phone.
  • How often are classes held?
    Each recreational class meets once a week, September through May.
  • What’s the time commitment?
    Recreational classes are 50 minutes each week, per style. Competitive programs expand upon these hours depending on the program and commitment.
  • How do I register?
    Registration is completed online through dancebarre.ca. Click here to register. If you'd like help picking the right class, contact us first and our team will guide you.
  • Will my child perform on stage?
    Yes. Dancers in JK/SK and older perform in our end-of-season Concert at the Chrysler Theatre in Windsor each May. Our 2- and 3-year-old dancers have their own in-class celebration at the end of their session.
  • Can parents watch classes?
    Yes — there's a viewing screen in our lobby where you can observe classes any time.
  • Who will be teaching the class?
    Our faculty is a team of highly trained adults who are passionate about fostering a love of dance. The majority of our teachers grew up at Dance Barre as dancers themselves. Each follows a tailored studio-wide curriculum and continually upgrades their training and certifications — including American Ballet Theatre Teacher Training, Acrobatic Arts, Progressive Ballet Technique, Tap Roots, Wayne State University, and mUv Method.
  • Do you offer Summer classes?
    Yes — drop-in classes and themed camps. A great way to try dance before the fall season begins. See our summer schedule here.
  • Can we visit the studio before registering?
    Yes — we'd love to meet you. Email us and we'll arrange a personal tour at a time that works for your family.
  • What are the studio hours?
    Fall: Monday–Friday 4:30 PM – 8:30 PM · Saturday 9:30 AM – 5:30 PM · Sunday 9:30 AM – 4:00 PM
    Summer: Tuesdays and Thursdays 4:30 PM – 7:30 PM
  • What’s the best way to get in touch with Dance Barre?
    Dance Barre Studio Manager: Rebecca
