Frequently asked question

  • Will there be a costume fee?
    Yes. We aim to keep costs below $30/number for our mini contortionist ages 3 to 11 and between $45-$75/number for ages 12 to up older contortionist. We wear a uniform ballet costume. Costs will vary based on style (ballet costumes tend to be more expensive) and age (the younger the dancer, the cheaper the costume). If you already have a suitable costume, you can wear your own instead of purchasing a new one.
  • What should my child wear?
    Clothes suitable for exercise: Bodysuits, tights, tank tops, leggings, and shorts are all acceptable.
  • What is contortion?
    Contortion is a flexibility-based art where the body moves into extreme positions using strength, balance, and control. With proper training, anyone can improve their flexibility safely.
  • How will I be kept updated?
    There will be a monthly newsletter sent via email plus extra emails and texts for special circumstances. Updates will also be made on our Facebook and Instagram pages.
  • Are parents allowed in the studio while classes are on?
    With the exception of parented classes, we ask that parents stay outside the studio during class time. Students (particularly younger ones) are easily distracted by the presence of their parents.
