A Message from the Director:

To the parents, we are dedicated to the enjoyable task of not only teaching your child to dance, but also to witnessing the development of their mental and physical growth, coordination, poise, grace and personality. We hope that by enrolling your child at Salsabor Tropical you intend to take an active part in helping maintain an enthusiastic attitude in dancing for your child at all times. You must place your trust in us to make proper decisions in your child's best interest. We trust that your child’s dance experience with us will be a meaningful one.

We are here to teach your child the Art of Dance.

  STUDIO RULES & CLASS RULES:
  
  

• FIRST AND FOR MOST SMILE!
• ABOUT THE DANCE CLASSES – Anyone between the ages of 7 and 14 can participate in the class. No tryout is required! These classes have two primary purposes...1) to highlight some of the basic fundamentals of dance and 2) to give the dancers a chance to learn routines and to perform in front of an audience. The class will learn a routine that will be performed in different shows. These classes are a great way to prepare for being on the dance team.

OBSERVATION:

• Parents or siblings are not allowed in the dance room during class time; We enforce this rule because we don't want noise or distraction for the dancers when they are learning.
  exception to this rule.. the instructor might invite the parent or sibling in on a special occasion to watch.
