September classes
are open.
One sentence, in one place, that every page on the site reads from. Right now dapr.ca says this twice, and the two answers do not agree.

Registering, in one place
Four ways in, all of them saying the same thing, all of them reading from the same status.
Online
Fill in the form
You get a copy the moment you submit it, and so does the office. Nobody has to wonder for a week whether it arrived.
By phone
250-624-3457
The Academy already offers this. It stays exactly as it is.
By email
dapr@citywest.ca
Also already offered, and also unchanged.
In person
Open house at the studio
Dates stored once, so the page can never again be advertising last September.
No fee appears anywhere on this concept, because the Academy does not publish one. In a live build this is where it would sit, beside the button.
The ten classes
Ages are the Academy's own. The day and time column is empty on purpose — the Academy does not publish one, and this concept does not invent one.
Read from the live site, 30 July 2026
Two pages, both live today, giving opposite answers.
dapr.ca/register-online/
“Registration for fall classes is OPEN!”
dapr.ca/how-to-register/
“New and Returning Student Registration: CLOSED”
…and the open house it sends you to is “Sep 2 & 3, 2025 @ 3-7pm” — last September.
Ten disciplines, and not one day or time
Ballet, jazz, tap, acro, hip hop, modern, song and dance — every one is described, and none has a day, a time or a fee. A parent working shifts cannot tell whether any of it is possible before they commit.
The form asks people to check that it worked
The registration page itself says that if you have not heard back in a week, the system may not have emailed the registration through. That is the Academy carrying a risk that belongs to the software.
The footer reads 2018
It is the number a first-time parent uses to decide whether what they are reading still applies — and here, on two of the pages, it does not.
The registration page, in its own words
“If you haven’t heard from us in a week, please contact the office at dapr@citywest.ca, it’s possible the system didn’t email us your registration.”
None of this is a criticism of anyone. A studio updates its website between classes, and a page that was right last September quietly stops being right without anybody touching it.
What would change, in order
1
One place that says open or closed
Registration status stored once and shown everywhere it appears. The two pages can never disagree again because there is only one answer.
2
A timetable people can read
Day, time, age and room for every class. It is the single question every parent asks first, and the site currently answers none of it.
3
Publish the fees
A family deciding between dance and hockey in August is comparing prices. If one of them is not published, that is the one they stop considering.
4
A form that confirms itself
The parent gets a copy, the office gets a copy, and nobody has to wonder for a week whether the registration arrived.
Why there are no photographs here
There are no photographs on this concept. The Academy’s students are children, and it would not be right to fill a page about them with stock pictures of other people’s children. In a live build the photography would be yours, taken in your studio, with your families’ consent.
