FAQs
It's easy to get your child to start dancing at AILEY! First, create an Ailey Extension Mindbody account for yourself online here or through the Ailey Extension app. You can then add your child into your account and easily register them and pay for their classes.
We encourage students to register for class in advance—classes and workshops can and do sell out. Simply sign into Mindbody in our app or on your browser, find your class or workshop, click “Book,” and pay for your class. Please note that class packages are subject to expiration dates upon activation.
Students are also welcome to sign up for class at the Extension Desk at The Joan Weill Center for Dance by paying with card, cash, or contactless payments.
Make-up classes are not offered for any missed Kids & Teens classes. Students may only attend classes for which they are registered—all Ailey Extension purchases are non-refundable.
Parents and guardians are not permitted into the studio for Kids & Teens classes except during parent observation week or in Tiny Steps classes.
Parents and guardians are welcome to stay at The Joan Weill Center for Dance for the duration of their child’s class in our Kids & Teens holding lounge. Please ask a staff member to show you to the lounge when you arrive or check the studio schedules to the left of the elevators for the location.
