Create an account first, then return to the catalogue to select classes. We highly encourage parents and guardians to register on behalf of their student so HSA receives accurate information and can communicate with your family easily.
Do not create a new account. Sign in with your existing ASAP account. If you still can’t get in, call (212) 926-4100 or email info2@hsanyc.org.
This means the class requires instructor approval. Email info2@hsanyc.org for help with admission to the course.

Dance has the widest range of technique and training levels at HSA. Use these guidelines to find a starting point for your child.
Beginner-level classes are for elementary-age students, and most run on Saturdays — a strong option for a once-a-week recreational experience. Families looking for the full HSA experience are encouraged to take multiple classes across the year; that’s where students tend to see the most growth.
HSA does not offer many beginner classes designed specifically for teens. If your teen is starting at a beginner level, they should know they may be placed in a class with younger students.
Builds alignment, flexibility, and musicality. It is the foundation for almost everything else HSA teaches and a strong first class.
