Private Lessons
For those students who would like private instruction, private instruction
is available at U Can-DANCE. Our policy and our belief is that ALL
TECHNIQUE SHOULD BE TAUGHT DURING CLASS TIME. As such, we do not encourage
specialized and private instruction to teach our in-class core curriculum.
However, if a student requires specialized choreography or "clean-up"
sessions to fine-tune choreography in preparation for competition, we do
encourage private lessons and are able to incorporate private lessons around
our class time.
Summer Camps
U Can-DANCE offers a variety of summer camps in the performing arts. In
addition to areas of dance, the students also have the opportunity to
explore Creative Dramatics and Acting, Musical Theater, and other fun
subjects not covered during the dance year. In addition to our studio
hosting various camps, our instructors will also be available to travel to
your location for integration into your summer camp programs. Just let us
know what you need and we will MAKE IT HAPPEN! Your organization can choose
one of our pre-designed camps or assist in the designing of your own camp.
As an option, at our studio, we offer early drop-off and late pick-up
services during summer camp for those parents whose schedules need to be
accommodated.
Summer Camp and Tuition Schedule
U Can-DANCE Buddy Program
Periodically throughout the year, students will be allowed to bring a "dance
buddy" to class. The "dance buddy" can be a friend or relative who is
around the same age as the student. The "dance buddy" will be allowed to
participate in class with the student. We feel that this allows the student
to expose her friends and family members to something that she likes to do
and something that she finds important.

Community Service Projects
U Can-DANCE believes that our studio and our students are a part of a larger
picture which includes the community in which we live. As such, throughout
the dance year, we choose special community-based projects in which our
students have an opportunity to give back to the McKinney area. These
projects are designed to be of service and to promote civil responsibility.
