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.
No food, gum or
candy will be allowed in the dance area.
Students are
encouraged to bring a water bottle and a towel to class.
Class Attendance
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, a staff member will notify the student's parent(s) by a telephone
call, email 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
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
Studio Closings
In the event of
extremely bad weather (i.e. snow, threatening thunderstorms, etc.), classes
will be cancelled. When Springboro Schools
are closed due to bad weather, the studio will also be closed. A schedule
of studio closings will be posted at the studio. You can always check
the home page on our website (www.miamivalleydanceacademy.com) for
special announcements and closings.

Recital (Costumes and Recital Fees)
At the end of the

weekend�Location TBA). We will be ordering recital costumes in November.
Students are responsible to purchase their own recital costumes. Each
class will have at least one costume. Combination classes may have two
costumes. Costume prices usually range
$69.00-$89.00 each.
There will be
a $50.00 recital fee per student (due by April 15th) to help cover the
costs that are involved in putting on a recital. Tickets will NOT be sold. We
will have an open attendance policy so all family members and friends who wish
may attend.
You may put down
a deposit on costumes if you wish. Fees are due in November before Christmas.
Some families like putting down a deposit a month or two before the entire
amount is due to keep expenses a little bit easier to manage during the holiday
season.
Videotaping and
photography will only be allowed during the dress rehearsal. A professional
edited DVD by Flipbox Productions will be available to purchase at a minimal
cost.
Class Observation
Parents may
monitor classes through a viewing window.
