Class Behavior
Students are expected to behave appropriately during all dance classes and functions. Students are also expected to listen to the instructor, follow directions at all times and maintain a quiet noise level in the studio. Excessive talking will not be tolerated.
Instructor has the right to dismiss any student if she feels the student is disrupting the class by any means. If the parent is present, the instructor will explain the child's actions. If the parent is not present, the child will remain in the waiting area until the parent arrives.
Absolutely no food, gum or candy in the dance area.
Students are encouraged to bring a water bottle and a towel to class.
Students are expected to be present for every class.
Attendance will be recorded. If a student is absent for three or more consecutive weeks without notification, the instructor will notify the student's parent(s) by a telephone call or by a letter in the mail. Excessive absences may result in the student being dismissed from the class. Make-up classes will not be offered for personal absences.
Tuition is due at the beginning of each month. A grace period will be given. After the 15th of the month, a $5.00 late fee will be applied. Tuition remains the same whether it is a long, 5-week, or short, 3-week month. A make-up class will be scheduled if classes fall under 3 weeks/month. If a make-up class is unavailable, a credit will be given. Credits will not be given for personal absences. A non-refundable registration fee of $20.00/student will be required when signing up as a student at the
