Frequently Asked Questions

  • Inclement Weather

    If inclement weather should arise call the studio 914 244-1550 to verify if we’re open. As with personal absences, if a class is missed or canceled due to weather, the student may attend an alternate class as a “make-up.” Westchester Dance Academy may not follow public school closings. Please call if questions arise.
