Policies
 

PLEASE READ ALL THE INFORMATION BELOW THOROUGHLY. IF YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR POLICIES, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT US!

  • All lessons begin with a warm-up. Students should arrive on time properly dressed and ready to dance. Missing part of a warm-up can risk injury. Improper clothing hinders movement and makes it difficult to view correct body placement. No jewelry is permitted in class and long hair must be worn up! For a complete description of our dress code, please see our policies  by clicking here:

  • In order to prevent injury proper shoes must be worn in all classes. Ballet shoes are to be pink for girls and black for boys. We use tan jazz shoes and the foot undeez or dance paws for lyrical class. Tap shoes are black jazz/tap oxford. Hip hop students need black dance sneakers. The pre-school combo classes need pink ballet slippers and black patent leater shoes (available at Payless). If you have questions regarding what your dancer needs please ask. Shoes and dancewear can be purchased through Dance Distributors at 1-800-33-DANCE. We ask that students DO NOT wear their street shoes on the dance floor.

  • TUITION IS DUE THE FIRST WEEK EACH MONTH! A $10 late fee will be assessed to all payments not received on time. Checks that are mailed to the studio must be received by the due date. Payments received after the due date but dated before will NOT be accepted as on time payments. For example, if your dancer has class on Tuesdays your tuition is due the first  Tuesday of each month. A payment not received by the second Tuesday of the month would be considered late. A student whose tuition is in arrears will not be permitted to attend class until the account made current. This will be strictly enforced. There is a $30 returned check fee. A mailbox in the waiting area is where payments are to be made. You may also pay online here on our Web site by visiting the Online Payments page!
