FAQs

  • How do I register for a class at DAU?

    Registering with DAU may be done in a few quick, easy steps. You must set up a family account with us providing important contact information. You may create your online account by clicking here or through our DAU Office. The Customer Service Team would be happy to get you signed up via phone, email, or in person.

  • How do I know which class to sign up for?

    Our schedule is big, which allows DAU to offer both age and level specific classes. When looking for a class you will want to check the age group located in the parentheses [i.e. (4-6)]. In our Creative Movement class, dancers must be registered age (3) by August 1st, 2024. For our Intro to Dance and Pre- classes, dancers must meet class age requirement as of October 1st. For older dancers, it will be important to know which style of dance they will be interested in. Still not sure which class is the best fit for your dancer? Contact us, and we will gladly help you!
