ABOUT
Luminosity Children’s Ensemble is a faith-based dance program providing a creative and performing dance experience for children ages 5-8. Through weekly rehearsals and a seasonal performance dancers will develop and progress in beginning ballet technique, body connectivity, creative expression, and performance skills while working with others in a positive and professional environment.
There is no audition or previous dance experience required to join the Children’s Ensemble. Dancers need to be ages 5-8 as of September 1, 2025. Register online to reserve your spot (minimum 5 dancers required; maximum 10 dancers).
DIRECTOR INFORMATION

Please email if your child will be absent. Visit LuminosityDanceCompany.com for Announcements, Company Information & Policies, Seasonal Schedules & Homework, sneak peeks, and upcoming events.
PARENT MEETING
At the beginning of each season we will have a parent meeting to introduce ourselves, set the performance day and time, discuss policies, volunteer for various company needs, and answer questions. Dates for fall and spring breaks and holidays will also be set at each season’s parent meeting. Parent or guardian attendance is mandatory to participate. If you are unable to attend the initial parent meeting, contact Micah Taylor for an alternative meeting before joining rehearsals.
TUITION
There will be no charge for tuition. In exchange for free dance instruction and a professional experience, families are asked to volunteer for different company needs in return (such as childcare during rehearsals, scheduling the building, printing programs, etc.). Options are detailed in the Volunteers document and sign ups will be at the Parent Meeting.
REHEARSALS
This is a dance company, think of it as a commitment to a team not just a weekly class. Each dancer’s attendance, respect, and effort affects the whole team.
Please do not bring dancers more than 5 minutes early or pick them up 5 minutes late.
DRESS CODE
Hair must be pulled back out of the face in a ponytail or similar style, no jewelry.
Dancers should wear all black — tops (no prints) that have sleeves and cover the midriff while moving (a leotard is recommended, not required) with pants or capris (should cover the knee and should not extend past the heel, for safety). All attire should allow for ease of movement and be fitted in order to see alignment and allow for accurate feedback.
Dancers can dance barefoot, wear ballet slippers, closed toe lyrical shoes, or tan jazz shoes for class and for the performance.
PERFORMANCE
Children’s Ensemble will perform at the end of the season for family and friends. We will show a featured choreography dance as well as an opener and finale that help showcase community and skills we have worked on during class time. Inviting family, friends, and neighbors is encouraged. Families are asked to help set up chairs before the show and help clean up after the show.
Costumes will be determined at the parent meeting. Costumes will vary each season but will follow dress code. Most seasons I will provide an additional costume piece or accessory for dancers to borrow for the performance; these pieces need to be returned after the showing to use for future seasons.
PICTURE DAY
The week before the performance we will use some of rehearsal time to take individual and group photos. All photos and videos taken throughout the season and of the performance will be shared with the registering parent via email within a few weeks after the end of the season.
PHOTO RELEASE
Families will receive free digital copies of all photos and videos taken of their dancer(s) throughout the season. By joining Luminosity, you give Luminosity permission to use photos and videos for promotional purposes for Luminosity or a Luminosity affiliated event without compensation.
