Welcome to Your Trial Class at NLDC!

We’re so glad you’re here!

We’re so excited to welcome your dancer to Next Level Dance Center! Here’s everything you need to know for a smooth first visit.

  • Please arrive 5–10 minutes early so you have time to get settled, meet the teacher, and use the restroom.

    • Parking: Street parking is available around the studio. Some evenings are busier due to nearby restaurants, so plan a few extra minutes to find a spot.

    • View our parking map here (insert your parking photo link or embedded image).

    • Our studio is located at 153 West Commercial St East Rochester, NY 14445

    • Parents are welcome to stay in the lobby during class.

    • You’ll be able to watch your dancer live on our lobby TV monitors!

    • Please help us keep the space tidy by minimizing clutter, large bags, and sibling toys.

    • Don’t stress about attire for your first class — we keep it casual for trial lessons!

    • If your dancer is taking a ballet/tap combo class they would need ballet & tap shoes (we sometimes can fit your dancer with a borrowed pair for their class, let us know their street size ahead of time)
      For Tumbling - Barefeet & Leotard/athletic wear is great

    • Acceptable options:

      • Athletic clothing that allows movement (leggings, tank, t-shirt, etc.)

      • If your dancer already has dancewear: leotard and tights (any color or style is fine).

    • Hair: Pulled back away from the face for safety.

    • Water bottle! We encourage dancers to bring their water bottles into class (but please no juices or mixes!) - PLEASE MAKE SURE BOTTLES ARE LABELED!

    • Jewelry: Only small stud or small dangle earrings, please — no large or costume jewelry.

    • After your trial, we’ll help guide you on specific attire and shoe needs if needed!

    • At the end of your trial, we’ll provide a registration packet with program details on costs and important policies, and next steps
