Dance Tuition

A $45.00 registration fee per child, and $35.00 for each additional child, and a $40.00 recital fee per family, is required to reserve a space in class and is non-refundable.

Prices

• All fees are payable from August to May on a monthly basis, with tuition due by the 10th of each month. The first month’s tuition and registration fee are due when you register and are non-refundable. There is a $10.00 late fee charge on all tuition received after the 10th of each month. Fees are non-refundable and cannot be carried over to the following month.

• We do not prorate tuition for sickness, holidays, or days missed for personal reasons.

• There is a $30.00 service charge on all returned checks.

• You will only receive a statement if your account is past due. They will be mailed out on the 11th of each month.

• Please put your child’s name on the bottom left side of your check.

• We are not responsible for post-dated checks.

• If for some reason your child has to drop out before the term is out, the school requires a month’s notice. (Example: If Susie drops out in December, then January’s tuition must be paid.)

• Accounts with a balance of more than $200.00, or accounts past due longer than 60 days will result in the nonparticipation of that student in classes until the tuition is paid.

 
Special Notices

• Regular attendance is essential to a student’s progress in dance. Students who are frequently absent will continually struggle to advance. Good attendance is imperative, as absences and tardiness can hold back an entire class. Please be advised that the studio cannot jeopardize the responsibilities to the rest of the class for one student. Please make every effort to have your child in every class.

• Awards are given for five, ten, and fifteen year students. Please let the office know the first week of class.

• Please discuss with your child before classes begin that it is important for them to finish what they start. The job of getting your child to class is sometimes the hardest part, but once you get your child to class they will enjoy themselves as well as learn.

• Discipline – Positive reinforcement is used to guide our students toward acceptable behavior. When discipline becomes necessary, a child is first corrected several times. If that is not successful, “time out may be necessary on his or her behavior. The studio and our instructors reserve the right to dismiss a child from class due to disciplinary problems. The studio also reserves the right to refuse service to anyone.

• Class Placement – Students will be placed with respect to potential and proficiency by Miss Debbie and the instructors. We reserve the right to place students by ability and not total number of years taken. Students will not be placed in a friend’s class because of car pools, etc., unless each has the same level of ability.

• Make up days are available for holidays through December only.

• In order to maintain class structure and discipline, observation windows are limited to the last week of each month until January when work on recital will begin.

• Visitors - A friend may visit, however, this must be prearranged with the instructor.

• The studio cannot be responsible for children left after class or children that have been dropped off early. Friends/Siblings may not “hangout” unsupervised at the studio. Please make arrangements.

• Please try to be prompt if your child is in the last class of the day. Instructors will wait for 15 minutes after class. Please call us if you have an emergency and we will be glad to keep your child in the studio until you can arrive.
  
• Bathroom Policy - All students should use the restroom before class. We cannot let every child leave class to go to the restroom. Preschoolers should bring an extra set of clothes in their dance bag for emergencies.

• The studio is not responsible for children once they leave the studio premises.

• It is illegal to double park by order of the fire and police department. Please do not double park.

• We are not responsible for teenagers that drive or who know students that drive and leave the premises.

• We do share parking with the parking lot at 6420 Hillcrest Park Ct. Coming in from Hillcrest, it is the 3rd building to your right.
