2022-23 registration opens!

Fall Schedule, Leveling and Registration
Our 2022-23 schedule is now available for viewing! You’ll also find links to tuition, class descriptions (with recommended number of weekly classes) and attire considerations on this page. Registration will open Monday, July 18 at 9:00 am. Information regarding Iowa City Youth Choir auditions and Madrigal Singer auditions will be available soon. Classes begin Tuesday, September 6. Dance students’ 2022-23 levels (levels 1-8) can be found in the parent portal by clicking on the 3 bars in the top right corner, “Account” then “View Student” by your student’s name and navigating to the skills tab as seen below. Please register for your assigned level, as our instructors have considered each dancer for a most successful year of learning! 

Faculty & Classes
We have a wonderful returning faculty along with some new faces! We welcome advanced ballet faculty Jere Hunt, who will also be instructing modern dance, and Juliet Remmers, new advanced modern and young children’s dance faculty Breanna Dorsey, our new Acro and young children’s dance faculty Kari Rosfjord, and Kayla Drow joins us teaching a variety of genres. Learn more about these new additions on our website. We are also excited that Evan Zukin will be leading our Tap Program this season.

Our studio truly offers something for everyone – be it young children’s programming, visual arts, dance, Pilates, musical theatre, choir, acting or fitness/dance/art classes designed for adults! Read more about all that we offer here.

Covid19 Policy Update
Please see our current policy here. We are continuing to align with the CDC recommendations and ask that our students follow their guidelines. We will no longer be notifying families of positive COVID19 cases.  

We appreciate and celebrate the success we have had in all our staff and students adhering to COVID19 policies for the past two years. In fact, we have also benefited in cutting down on illness in general from the use of masking when feeling unwell! While masking is no longer required for any students at Nolte Academy, we encourage mask wearing anytime a student may be under the weather to help us avoid influenza, strep, stomach bugs, and other cold viruses! Our teachers thank you.  

Pay it Forward with Our New Artists Initiative
This summer we partnered with Big Brothers Big Sisters to bring camps to new BIPOC artists that are just getting to know us at Nolte Academy. It was a great success! 

“My daughter is loving Nolte camp and having the best time!  We would not have been able to afford this camp without the partnership between Big Brothers Big Sisters and Nolte Academy and appreciate the chance to participate!” 

Please consider helping us keep the momentum going this fall! You can “pay it forward” with the New Artists Initiative in two ways:

1. Check the box “NAI Carpool Volunteer” when you register for fall classes to indicate you are willing to pick up another student living in your area in need of a ride at the same time you head to Nolte Academy.
2. Check the box “NAI Financial Contribution” and indicate how much support you pledge to give; every dollar counts! Contributions will be used to lower tuition burdens for BIPOC students demonstrating financial need.
