Housing: Fee for Host Family Program $350 Saint Louis Ballet School's Summer Program offers a very safe housing program by providing host families for students who are coming from out of town and need housing. Host Families Provide:
24 hour supervision,
3 meals a day, (if students want to buy lunch separately they need to bring extra money), and transportation to and from the studio. Extracurricular activites are usually planned by the family so spending money should be brought with the child
Housing is a very limited program, therefore students requiring housing through this program should notify our office upon registration for the Summer Dance Program that they are needing housing. Call 636-537-1998 to inform the office of your needs.
