Receptionist: Each session lasts 45 minutes.
Mom: Great! And how much does it cost?
Receptionist: The fee is $120 per term, which covers 8 weeks of classes.

Receptionist: Yes! Your daughter can try the first class for free before committing to the full term.
Mom: Perfect! What should she wear for class?
Receptionist: Comfortable clothes and sneakers. No need for special dance shoes.
Mom: That’s easy! Oh, do parents stay and watch?
Receptionist: For the trial class, yes! After that, we encourage parents to wait in the lobby to help kids focus.
