TUITION POLICIESWe offer 2 methods of payment: 1. Auto Pay We will deduct tuition amounts on the first of each month. (See form for detail) 2. Cash Payments-Only At registration if you only want to pay in cash for the season, you will need to pay 3 months of lessons at a time. If for any reason tuition is paid after the 5th of the month, there is a $25.00 processing late fee to cover the cost of the Administration taking the extra time to collect tuition in a timely matter.
Tuition reserves your spot in class. It is not calculated on a month to month basis, prices are based on the season. We have accounted for all holidays and extra weeks through out the season. Tuition is the same amount each month no matter how many classes fall in that month.

Example: if you call on the 1st of the month to drop your class, we will consider that the two weeks notice and you will be responsible for 2 weeks of the next month's tuition.
ATTENDANCE POLICIESThroughout the season, students may miss class due to illness or other reasons; we also know that vacations are an important family function. We only ask that you consider your students dance class with responsibility.
Please call the studio if your dancer is not going to attend class due to illness so teacher can plan accordingly.
If you are planning a vacation, please give us two weeks written notice so we can plan accordingly.
We ask that you consider your students dance class an important part of their weekly life. One of our goals is to teach children the importance of responsibility and commitment.
It is important for each and every dancer to know that dance is a commitment. When students come to class on a regular basis, their level will improve. This will give them confidence. Confidence will in turn give them power to complete their goals. They will learn about responsibility and commitment while working as a team.
If they do not attend class on a regular basis they will always be trying to catch up. This will discourage them from wanting to attend and it will create frustration. The other team members may also get discouraged, as well as the teacher who will have to repeat instruction.
STUDIO POLICIESWATER - We suggest that students bring a water bottle with them to class. It is so very important to stay hydrated.
DANCE BAG - We suggest that you purchase a bag for your dancer and keep shoes, water and hair accessories in it at all times. Have your dancer check it before he or she comes to dance. This will help teach them the importance of being prepared and organized
HAIR - It is very important that your dancers hair be in a bun or a tight ponytail. Hair is a big distraction for a dancer. When it is out of the way, their focus is on dancing and not trying to keep their hair out of the face!
BATHROOM - We ask that your dancer use the bathroom before and after class. For the little ones it can be a chain effect, if one needs to use it, then they all want to. So that class time can be productive, please take your little one to the bathroom before class.
PROPER CARE OF DANCE SHOES - We ask that all dancers bring their dance shoes in a bag or carry them into class. Dance shoes are to be worn only on the dance floor! Please do not wear dance shoes outside where there is grease, dirt, gum and all kinds of things that can be stepped on. Cement can break down the leather on the bottom of the shoe and create holes. If you only wear your dance shoes on the dance floor, it will extend the life of the shoe. Tip: Many girls wear their dance shoes and then put big slippers on when they go outside. Cute idea!!
