MCDC Questions
What should I wear?
Creative Movement: Comfortable clothing (shorts or pants, please) that does not inhibit them from moving freely and safely. Bare feet are required. No tights or shoes, as shoes inhibit grounding the body and articulating the feet, which aids in balance and coordination for young children.
Ballet attire: Any color leotard or fitted T-shirt, tights or legging, and ballet slippers (any color).
Jazz, tap, modern, musical theatre: Any color leotard or fitted T-shirt with jazz pants/leggings. Appropriate footwear: jazz shoes for Jazz class, tap shoes for Tap class, or bare feet for Modern and Musical Theatre.
Aerial: Any color leotard or fitted T-shirt with jazz pants/leggings; bare feet.

Are there discounts available?
For school-year courses, families registering for more than one course or more than one child receive a 5% discount on all courses. (Must enroll in multiple courses — not just the two sessions of a single adult/teen class.) This discount doesn't apply to summer courses.
Muhlenberg College students and Allentown School District students receive 30% off total fees. Faculty and staff receive 15% off fees for themselves and their immediate families.
(Take the 5% discount first, if applicable, then the 15% or 30% discount. For example: If a staff member's child is taking two youth courses, the total of two youth courses would be $308. Multi-course discount is 5%, so multiply $308 by .95 to get $292.60. Staff discount is 15%, so multiply $271.70 by .85 to get $248.71. If you have questions about tuition, please email [email protected].) Students are eligible for only one affiliation discount — ASD or Muhlenberg, but not both.
Can I drop in and take a class?
Yes, students can pay per class! The drop-in rate is $20. This is a good option if you’re not available for all of the classes, or if you would like to try a class to see if it’s right for you. Please arrange drop-in payment in advance by emailing [email protected].

What classes should I take?
If you have any questions abotu placement or registration, please email [email protected] or call 484-664-MCDC(6232) to ask Gianna, the MCDC Director, for assistance.
What if a class is cancelled?
We expect to be able to offer all of the classes in the current schedule, but we do occasionally have to cancel or combine classes due to low enrollment. The schedule listed here on the website will be the most up-to-date version. Registered students will receive a full credit or refund for any cancelled classes.
