Frequently Asked Questions

We are located next to Magnolia Commons at 124 Market Street, New Bern, NC 28560.  

At Attitude Dance Center, we offer two dance seasons each year, giving families flexibility to balance dance with other activities.

• Fall Season: August – December, with a recital in early to mid-December

• Spring Season: January – May, with a recital in early to mid-May

Join for one season or both! Whether your dancer wants to commit for a full year or participate seasonally, they’ll have the opportunity to perform on stage. Recital dates are subject to venue availability.

Our split-season structure makes it easier for dancers to enjoy both dance and other activities, whether they prefer to train year-round or switch between dance and seasonal sports.

We look forward to dancing with you!

Drop-In Classes have No Registration Fees Required!

Black, pink, or aqua/teal leotards are required. Tights are highly encouraged for classes. Dancers may wear dance shorts, skirts, and/or leggings. All dancers are required to have their hair pulled back, buns are preferred. Jewelry is not to be worn during classes. Proper dance shoes for each style should be readily available to each dancer for each class.  

Dress Codes DO NOT apply for our A.M. Preschool Drop-in classes, although dress code rules are encouraged.  

Approved dancewear and shoes can be found and purchased in our online store to be shipped and picked up at the studio. 

Each class has a Recital Costume Fee that includes a dance costume, (1) pair of tights, and a garment bag. Costume fees are as follows:

• Minis & Petites – $80

• Juniors – $90

• Teens, Seniors & Dance Squad – $100

Additional tights may be purchased and are encouraged as a backup.

• For Combo Classes: While combo-style classes learn both tap and ballet, they will only perform one style in the end-of-season recital. This means only one costume is required, reducing the need for quick changes backstage. The performance style will rotate each year, allowing dancers who continue in the program to experience both ballet and tap on stage.

We are excited to offer two styles of preschool-age classes for our dance families!

• Preschool Combo Classes (Traditional): These structured classes introduce young dancers to both tap and ballet, providing a strong foundation in movement, coordination, and rhythm.

• Preschool Drop-In Classes (Summer Only): These fun and engaging classes encourage young children to explore movement and dance in a playful setting. Offered in both the morning and afternoon during the summer, Drop-In classes provide flexibility for families looking for a casual introduction to dance.

We are always looking for qualified teachers for upcoming seasons and/or substitution fill-in availability. Please send your resume to Tabbi Taylor at tabbi.attitudedance@gmail.com
