Any dancer enrolled with In the Key of Dance Studio shall not have any contractual agreements and enrollments with multiple studios. Parents must figure out their best option of choice. Every studio trains differently and the dancer is the ultimate priority and should never have to chose between performances and missed classes due to conflict of scheduling, cost, confusion with training styles, etc...

Injuries are taken very seriously. If a dancer is injured, they are encouraged to sit and take notes to not only eliminate further injury, but to not miss what training transpired during classes.
