Hi! This is Linda Brown on behalf of Expert Village. The next thing you want to consider when enrolling your child in a ballet class is the availability of a dressing room and bathrooms at the studio. You might assume that every studio is going to have these. Restrooms; yes. Dressing rooms; possibly not. Your child is going to need a place to transfer mentally from school to dance class. Don't take the chance of having them dress in the car. Many times, they're going to be coming straight from school, so make sure that the studio has available dressing rooms so that they can spread out their things and get ready for class. Check the bathrooms. Are they accessible? Is there more than one? Are they available to your child? Make sure that they're clean. Many of you are going to have a younger child with you when you come, that younger sibling. Make sure that bathroom is clean and that you're comfortable bringing your children into that environment. Is the space that they've given for your children to dress separate from the bathroom? You don't want them to have to be standing outside the door and miss the beginning of class.
