Our classes run from September through June, culminating with our annual Spring Performance. The curriculum is designed for the student who enters in September and studies throughout the school year. Classes may be entered on a space available basis until January.

TUITION - is based on a 35 week schedule (five 7 week sessions) excluding vacation weeks and holidays. Our payment plan is broken up into 5 equal payments, due on the first class of each new 7 week session.

Payment in full is required, regardless of class attendance. Refunds are not given for classes missed or unattended. Tuition is non-refundable and non-transferable. (There will be a $25 fee for any returned checks.)

FEES - Classes missed due to illness may be made up in another class of an appropriate level within two weeks. Classes cancelled by the studio for holidays (other than those on the studio calendar), weather, etc., will be rescheduled or assigned to another class.

Cancellations due to inclement weather will be announced on the studio answering machine or a number to call will be left for up-to-date information. Refunds or credits will not be given for missed lessons. The only exceptions are prolonged illness or injury verified by a doctor's note.

• Consistent delinquent payments on accounts over 30 days may result in the suspension of that student's participation in class.
• No credit will be given for any missed classes (including extended absence due to driver's ed, extended vacations, etc). Students have one month to make up missed classes.
• No student will participate in the recital until all fees, late fees, NSF charges or costume fees are received and cleared.
• If needed, please call the office to set up an alternate payment plan. We do not want to deny any student the opportunity to dance if a viable solution is available.

SPRING PERFORMANCE - Students are invited to participate in our annual Spring Performance. The cost is not included in tuition. Students will be asked to buy costumes.

• COSTUME FEES: A costume fee is charged for each costume for the annual recital which is held in June. A deposit is due no later than Novemeber 30th with the balance due on Session IV bill. If your child is not performing, we must have written notice no later than November 30th as costumes are ordered at that time. If your child withdraws from classes after costumes are ordered, you are obligated to pay the costume bill. No refunds, credits or exchanges on costumes.

Parents, friends, etc., who wish to watch the show must purchase a ticket. Specific information about the Performance will be given out early in the new year.

Dance requires discipline and dedication. It is an art form and should be respected as such.

• REFUNDS - There are no refunds due to absence or withdrawal.
• NO GUM, FOOD or DRINK allowed in the studio. Students are responsible for the studio's tidiness.
• NO SMOKING on the premises.
• ALL COURSES begin and end at the scheduled times.
• STUDENTS ARRIVING LATE will be admitted only with the approval of the Instructor.
• NO STUDENT should leave class without permission.
• IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ATTEND CLASS, please notify the Instructor or leave a message.
• MISSED CLASSES MUST be made up with 2 WEEKS' TIME. (One month allowed for extended absences)

The Studio and the Instructors are not liable for personal injuries or loss or damage to personal property. Since dance is a physical activity, injuries may occur. Please inform the Instructor of any physical limitations which may prevent full participation in class.

We have a very liberal dress code*, as we feel bright colors and fun attire can encourage enthusiasm. However, body placement and alignment are impossible to correct when hidden by baggy clothing or long overshirts; therefore, THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED!

• Ballet – Pink or black leotard, pink tights ONLY, pink ballet shoes. (Pointe shoes – see Instructor) Ballet skirts allowed with Instructor’s permission. Jazz pants & shorts ARE NOT ALLOWED.
• Tap – Solid leotard, pink or black tights or dance pants, black tap shoes. Street clothes, i.e. pants, shorts, etc. ARE NOT ALLOWED
