Parent / Guardian Registration

Registration is for a parent or legal guardian to complete. Please do not submit sensitive medical information or payment card details in this form.

Application only — no payment required now. Submitting this form starts the application process; it does not reserve or guarantee a student place. DBCOPA will review completed applications for eligibility and availability. Only 50 places are available, and enrollment is first come, first served among eligible applicants who complete all required enrollment steps. A place is secured only after DBCOPA sends written acceptance and receives the required enrollment payment. Payment instructions will be sent separately when available. An automated email acknowledges receipt only, not acceptance.
Student uniform sizing & supplies

Please provide the student's current sizes so we can prepare the DBCOPA uniform and lapa. The $120 enrollment fee covers the uniform, lapa, and student notebook. Families purchase jazz shoes and other required dance footwear separately from Capezio or a dancewear store. Sizes will be confirmed before ordering.

Before you submit: This is an application, not a confirmed enrollment. No payment is collected through this form. DBCOPA will send enrollment-fee payment instructions separately. Your place is secured once the $120 enrollment fee is received, provided space remains available. January tuition is due December 15, 2026.

After submission, look for a receipt acknowledgment by email (check spam). This confirms receipt of the form only; a place is reserved once the separate $120 enrollment fee is paid and space remains available.
