General Dance Rules

• All dancers must come to class prepared with the proper dance attire, shoes, and hair secured. If you are new to dance, we can order any dance attire or shoes you may need!

• No food, gum, or candy is allowed during class. We encourage every dancer to bring a bottle of water with them.

• All dance bags, shoes, coats, and personal belongings belong in the lobby waiting area or designated cubbies.

• PLEASE PUT DANCER’S NAME IN DANCE SHOES!

• Please make arrangements that allow for you dancer to be picked up on time.

Parking

There is a public parking lot just north of the studio. You may also pull into the side alley ways to drop your dancer off and have them walk to the door. Please do not leave your car in the alley ways.

Attendance

For proper dance training, regular attendance is extremely important. Regular attendance also encourages commitment and responsibility. Attendance is taken at the beginning of every dance class. If for any reason your dancer will be absent from class, please call or message the studio to let us know.

Weather Policy

We do not necessarily cancel dance classes for the day even if schools were closed due to weather. and post our decision to stay open or close by 2:00pm. Please check your email and our Facebook page regularly to stay updated with our latest news and announcements.

Costumes

Costumes MUST be paid for by the posted deadline. If we have not received costume payment, a recital costume will NOT be ordered for your dance and they will not be able to participate in the recital. The average cost for a recital costume is $80 ($110 for Hip Hop costumes). This cost includes all tights and accessories. All payments must be paid in full to receive the costume before picture day. If your account is not paid in full by the time we send costumes home, then you will not receive your costume.

If you would like to discuss setting up a payment plan, we are more than happy to work with you so please contact us!

Fundraising

We offer many different fundraising opportunities throughout the year. All of our fundraising is an opportunity for dancers to raise funds for their own account. This means that all of your fundraising profits are applied directly to your account. Many families are able to cover a significant portion of their tuition costs and/or recital fees through consistent fundraising. Visit our Fundraising page for a full fundraising schedule and more details.

PLEASE NOTE: If you end the year with an account credit due to your fundraising profit, it will roll over into the next year and be applied to future fees if you continue to enroll in classes. If you decide to leave the studio and not return for classes, we will NOT refund you any fundraising profit. These fundraising profits will be added to our scholarship fund.
