New Creative Dance class for brand new 3-6 year olds, 4 weeks only!

You've asked for it, so we are offering...A new 4 week session for those with little ones who tried to register too late and did not get in to our fall classes, or those just wanting to try ballet now.
We will be holding this short session April 25 - May 16, every Saturday for four weeks, from 11:30 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. The tuition for this short session is just $40 (or $35 if you have a sibling already enrolled at INB!). This session is a great way to see if ballet is something your child will enjoy, and where he or she fits in to our levels. If you are enrolled in the session, you also become a "current student", allowed to register for fall on our first day of registration in June, rather than waiting until the following week, when many classes are already full. You must be pre-registered to attend, and enrollment will close once the class is full. If you are interested, please call the studio at 467-0765, e-mail us at inlandnwballet@aol.com, or message on Facebook (make certain you have our current "like" page "Inland Northwest Ballet OF SPOKANE" rather than our old friend page). If you would like a copy of our handout "How to tell if your child is ready for Creative Dance", just send us an e-mail…:) Happy dancing!
