Absolutely! Both our locations offer comfortable lobbies and changerooms for dancers, with ample space to complete homework, rehearse routines, or hang out with their dance family! If your dancer needs anything, we are right there to help!
We know how exciting it is to watch your dancer grow! However, to create a focused and distraction-free environment, we do not allow in-class viewing and do not have viewing windows. This helps dancers build confidence, independence, and stay fully engaged in their class.
Don’t worry — you’ll still get to see your dancer's hard work! Every two months, we host "viewing week" in our Recreational classes, where we show our families what we've been working hard on!
Yes! Both studios offer comfortable waiting spaces for families, equipped with seating, outlets, washrooms, and coat hangers! Make yourself right at home!

In the event of an emergency, NLC staff will take all necessary steps to ensure your child’s safety and well-being. Parents/guardians will be contacted using the emergency contact information provided through Dance Studio Pro. If immediate medical attention is required, emergency services will be contacted first, followed by the child’s parent/guardian and Director Nicole Clinton. All injuries are recorded and filed in-studio.
Your dancer is in good hands, but you know them best! If necessary, your child's Instructor or Assistant Teacher will help them change, use the washroom, or tend to any First Aid-related accidents. Through Dance Studio Pro, Instructors have access to the emergency contact information on file in Dance Studio Pro – in the event of an emergency, both the parent and Director Nicole Clinton will be contacted immediately.
If you'd prefer to assist your child in the washroom and changeroom, you are more than welcome to utilize our waiting room space!

Don't write off dance right away! Each dancer adjusts to dance class at their own pace, and we accommodate every tiny dancer's comfort zone! September usually brings more tears, but as the season progresses, our dancers grow, too! With a little patience, compassion, and tissues, each dancer settles into class over time! Our Assistant Teachers are great with tears, hugs, and comforting our anxious dancers.
For further concerns or accommodations, please contact nlcdancecompany@gmail.com – let's work together to serve your dancer best!
Of course! As long as their programming does not interfere with their commitment to dance, dancers are encouraged to pursue their additional passions!
In few cases, yes! All pre-requisite information is outlined in our Recreational Programming class breakdown!
Yes! Our NLC Dance Company merchandise typically goes on sale around October (perfect for Christmas!), or can be purchased at our recitals or in-studio!
