FAQ

• How do I join Next Step Dance Kodiak?
  Registration for classes happens all year long. The best time to register is April through June for summer classes and June through August for the full season of classes that run from September through May. You can inquire at any time during the year about special sessions or any class availability.
  
• Can I sign my child up for a trial class?
  YES! We do offer a risk-free trial class. Potential students should register online for the class they would like to try. You can also contact us, and we can get your dancer signed up for you! Payment will not be processed until after the trial class.
  Note: If you/your dancer is interested in performing in a recital, please note that depending on when you register, additional fees may apply to ensure costumes arrive on time.
• What should my dancer bring to their trial class?
  Trial students can wear clothes they feel comfortable moving in, such as leggings and a t-shirt or athletic shorts and a tank top. If needed, your dancer can borrow shoes for class at the studio! Also, don’t forget your water bottles!
• What if I am not sure what class to register for?
  Call us at 907-654-5722 or contact us, and we will be happy to help you choose the best class for your child according to their age and interests.
• What if a class my dancer or I am interested in is full?
  Class size is limited to offer the best possible experience to each student. A class will default to “waitlist only” when it reaches the maximum registration limit. Classes are first come, first served. You can register for the waitlist, and we will contact you as soon as there is an opening. We’d also be happy to chat about any other classes that might pique your interest!
• Do you offer classes for adults?
  Heck yes! We love our adult dancers, and we offer full-year and short courses (8 weeks) in multiple styles, including ballet, tap, hip hop, and aerial!
• When can I discuss concerns about my dancer with their teacher?
  We are always available via email or phone to discuss your concerns. Classes at NSDK run back-to-back, and often teachers do not have time to discuss concerns between classes thoroughly. We want to be sure we are giving you the best and most complete information, so please do not try to engage teachers in lengthy conversations between classes! You can call us at 907-654-5722 to set up a time to come in and chat or ask questions you may have!
• What if I miss a class?
  Attendance is a serious commitment at NSDK in order to make sure your dancer progresses at their fullest capability and that they keep up with new material and choreography. But we all get sick sometimes, and that’s A-Okay. Your dancer can jump into any other class that suits your schedule to make up for the missed hour. It can even be a different subject! You can make up a missed class. If you choose not to attend a make-up class, your account will still not be credited for the missed class. So really try not to miss any!
