ISPA is a highly personalized boutique studio, each inquiry is reviewed individually. Submitting this questionnaire does not guarantee an Invitation to schedule a Welcome interview or an Invitation to the ISPA Enrollment Experience.
Step 3: ISPA Family Welcome Interview
After reviewing your application, we may invite your family to schedule an ISPA Family Welcome Interview. This gives us an opportunity to meet one another, learn more about your dancer, answer your questions, and determine the best next step.
Step 4: ISPA Enrollment Experience
After the ISPA Family Welcome Interview, should we believe ISPA may be a good match for your family and dancer, an ISPA Krewe representative will contact you regarding your next step: Creating your ISPA Parent Portal. Please allow us the opportunity to carefully review your information before following up.
Step 4: Create Your ISPA Parent Portal
Once enrollment has been offered, you will receive instructions for creating your ISPA Parent Portal and completing registration.
We look forward to getting to know your dancer and family!
