We offer 30, 45 & 60 minute classes along with an unlimited fee that can't be beat! Dancing is an affordable sport at Shoreline. We will let you know what your dancer needs before entering any class, there are no hidden costs! We are happy to discuss times/prices and all other questions at any time. Contact us through our contact page or just give us a call at (651) 385-0252.
Part of Our Philosophy - To allow our students time to fully participate in quality family time and the activities and educational opportunities of their respective churches, we do not schedule classes on Wednesday evenings or Sundays.

About Competitions
We will attend 2-4 competitions in the upcoming season. Dates will be published by September. If you have accepted placement on a competition team, 2 competitions, which all our teams attend, are mandatory, no exceptions. You will be expected to reschedule any personal conflict that occurs. 1-2 optional competitions will be offered.
About Nationals
In the past, we have not encouraged going to national competitions. We had found that the experience was not different than regionals. However, some nationals are doing things differently and we are interested. We will not force our teams to attend Nationals but if the team as a whole is interested they may attend with our soloists and small groups that are choosing to do so.

It is your responsibility to check our web site (www.shorelinedance.net), your mailbox and our bulletin board to be sure that you are informed.
Encourage your child to do their best and give 100% to their teacher and team. Remind them that when the teacher gives them specific direction, it is a compliment to be noticed and should be taken to heart as such.
You are strongly encouraged to attend the full weekends of our competitions. You can support not just your dancer’s team but all the teams, solos, duets & trios from our studio. Part of your child’s dance education is to experience performances from both the stage and the audience.
Thank you for choosing Shoreline Dance!
