School Policy:
All students must be registered to participate in classes. Please fill out a registration form. Upon registration, a non-refundable fee of $15.00 per family is due, along with the first month’s tuition.
Tuition is due and payable in advance before the first lesson of each month. All single classes must be prepaid. Students who are not current in their tuition accounts will not be allowed to take classes.
After the l0th of the month tuition is considered late and a $18.00 late fee will be charged. All tuition is charged on a per month basis and includes a discount. Students who pay for single class will be charged $16.00 for a 1-hour class, $24.00 for a 1½-hour class, and $28.00 for a 2-hour class. All fees can be placed in the payment box in the lobby and are due before class. Guest teachers will determine fee for private classes.
Tuition refunds will be given for the following: (a) Student moving; (b) Student unable to dance due to medical reasons with doctor’s statement provided by the parent.
All return checks will be charged a handling fee of $30.00.
Students are expected to attend all classes in which they are enrolled. Please call and notify the school if your dancer is not attending. Give appropriate notice.
Students are excused for illness, family emergencies, and religious services.
Students may make up classes for excused absences if there is space in another class or if another class is learning the same material. Unexcused and excessive absences retard the growth of the student and the class and will result in dismissal from the school without a tuition refund.
Students enrolled in pointe and jazz classes must enroll in a ballet technique class. Because dance is a disciplined art form, students who are late to class will not be able to participate if they have missed the warm-up.
Students are expected to be respectful of other students and their instructors while in class. For the benefit of the other students, disruptive students and parents will be dismissed from the school and they will not be given a tuition refund.
Prompt pick-up of your child will ensure his/her safety. Students must remain inside for rides. (Parents later than 15 minutes will be charged a babysitting fee of $5.00 for every 5 minutes they are late. Please drop off and pick up students at the rear of the studio.
