About the provider

Dovetail Studios was established in September 2015. Joanna Read is the owner and education director, and she has over two decades of experience in dance education with training in classical ballet, contemporary, jazz, and choreography. The studio describes itself as a dance community, inclusive environment, and vibrant arts community hub.

Classes are grouped by age, experience, and teacher recommendation. Attendance is important. For youth division, tardiness means the student may need to observe class instead of participating. Children’s make-up classes must be completed before Thanksgiving Break in fall and before Spring Break in winter. Adult program make-ups must be completed before the session ends. Dancers aged 13+ may sign a waiver to walk across the street with parent permission.
