DRESS CODE
Wonder Theatre Academy Dress Code
Students must adhere to our dress code for all classes.
Broadway Babies and Little Wonders
Comfortable clothing as students will be exploring singing, acting, and dancing and will be moving around, sitting, or laying on the floor. Jazz/Ballet shoes are recommended but not required. If you do not have jazz shoes, be prepared to remove shoes (socks required) in the dance studio.
Acting and Vocal Music Classes
Comfortable clothing. Students are often asked to move around, sit or lie on the floor.
Dance Classes
Dance students may choose from the following:
Black leggings, jazz pants/capris, or bike shorts. No jeans.
Any color solid leotard, crop top, tank top, or fitted t-shirt.
Black or beige jazz shoes or character shoes (strap style and heel heights are up to the dancer). Street shoes are not allowed in our dance studio.
You may choose the style of dancewear that feels best to your dancer. Dance wear can be purchased at Dorothy’s Dance Shop (Target, Amazon, and other retailers also carry options).
TUITION
Leg Up Tuition is month to month and is dependent upon the number of classes taken. For example, by paying for a Two Class Membership every month, you can take Vocal Music II and Acting II each Monday within that month-long period, or any two classes you wish to take that are within your age limit. See the price breakdown below.
One Class Membership: $65/mo
Two Class Membership: $100/mo
Three Class Membership: $135/mo
Four Class Membership: $170/mo
Five Class Membership: $205/mo
Though tuition is month-to-month, you are enrolled in your classes all semester long, and transferring to a different class mid-semester incurs a $40 transfer fee. If you wish to drop a class, you can do so by contacting your Academy Admin at alex@wondertheatre.org. There is no fee for dropping a class or membership mid-semester, but once registration is closed for a semester, a student cannot re-enroll.
