Dance Program Policies

Registration

All students are required to pay a $20 one time, non refundable registration fee.
Monthly tuition is $60 for Guardian students & $75 for outside participants, for one lesson per week. Tuition is due on the first Friday of each month.

Tuition

Tuition is due the first lesson (Friday) of each month. Failure to pay will result in your child being dismissed from dance until it is caught up. Payment will be made through Brightwheel.

Parental Observations & Visitors

Parents or other visitors are not allowed to sit in or observe class. This is very disruptive to the dancers and teacher. There will be planned observations at the end of each 8 weeks.

Attendance/Absences

Please try to attend all classes. If you are tardy, please come in quietly and join the class. If you know you will not be able to attend, please inform us in advance.

Great attendance=Great growth

Attire

Students may change 15 minutes prior to their scheduled class. Students should arrive to class in the proper attire. Appropriate clothing includes tank tops, fitted shirts, leotards, leggings, tights, biker shorts, socks or ballet shoes. Students should wear their hair pulled back in a bun, ponytail or braid so that hair is out of the face! Please bring a dance bag to class. Your dance bag should hold your shoes, extra clothes (in case of accident), extra hair ties and clips, and extra water. A message will be sent home if your child is not wearing the proper gear, as it could be dangerous while dancing. Please mark all belongings with dancers’ initials in case they are lost.

Class Etiquette

It is most important that students remain respectful and quiet during class to cultivate a positive learning environment. Students not conforming to this rule will be asked to leave class. Repeat incidents will result in dismissal from the dance program.

  • Disrespect for teachers and classmates is NOT tolerated.
  • Food and drink is not allowed in dance class (except water bottles).
  • Street shoes should be taken off before entering the dance classroom.

Snow Days/Holidays/School Closure

There are no “make up” classes for snow days, holidays, or school closures. Tuition is not adjusted for missed days. Classes will be held on Teacher Workdays and Early Release days.
