Code of Conduct

*Students, parents and teachers alike are expected to show respect and courtesy to each other.

*Students will be dismissed from class for unreasonable behavior.

*Students may wait in the waiting room between classes to do homework/eat as long as they are not disruptive to the classes in progress or the other parents and dancers in the waiting/lobby area. Students who cannot wait in a respectable manner will need to be accompanied by their parent or other guardian.

*Parents, siblings and other visitors may wait in the lobby area during class. However, this area can become crowded with students and parents alike and we ask that everyone respects the space and the classes in session.

*No cell phones in the dance studio unless permission to tape has been given. They are allowed in the dance lobby.

*Dancers enter and exit the dance studio quietly and no running out.

*Students should be dropped off no earlier than 10-15 minutes prior to class if possible and should be picked up promptly after their last class. If a situation should arise that a child needs to be dropped off earlier or picked up late please notify me.

Rules

  • Dance wear is required for all classes
  • No street shoes on the dance floor

“Respect each other and our beautiful dance space. Be kind and friendly to your entire dance family! Help each other and smile! Bring your positive attitudes each day. This is your time to leave the outside world out, be present to get the best out of yourself.”

Love Miss Becky

Tuition, Costume, Policies 2019-20

Enrollment Day is July 8th 2:00pm-6:00pm. To enroll a new dancer you must complete the new student registration form.  If you are a returning dancer please let me know of any changes of information at the time you enroll your dancer.  At enrollments there is a one-time non-refundable registration fee for the year:  $20 per dancer or $25 per family. 1st quarter tuition is also due at this time. Classes start August 20th.

1st class taken:  $35 per month. You may pay monthly, quarterly, semester or dance year. Dance year is paid for 8 month sessions. Example Monthly ($35) Quarterly ($70) Semester ($140) Year ($280). Monthly would be paid 8x, quarterly 4x, Semester 2x, and year 1x.

All classes taken after 1st class:  $25 per month. You may pay monthly, quarterly, semester or dance year. Same as above. Example Monthly ($25) Quarterly ($50) Semester ($100) Year ($200).

PREFERRED PAYMENT IS QUARTERLY.

There is no pro-rating if any classes are missed, this is similar to a membership.  If there is a serious illness or injury I will determine if there will be adjustments to your tuition.  If you have 3 or more children in dance you will receive a discount of $7 for each dancer’s Primary class per quarter.   It will come off your quarterly balance automatically so please remember at the time of making your payments.

Snow Days & Picture Days

If the Central City Public or Private schools cancel for the whole day or after school has started, then dance classes are cancelled also. If they have a late start there will be dance unless I cannot get to Central City due to weather. If that is the case please check Remind or Band App to see if class is cancelled. There will be no snow day allotted for each class this dance year. Each year it may change. So, if there is a snow day this year we will have a make-up day!!!!! Pictures will be the week after recital 17th, 18th, 19th.

Fundraising

Please do not feel you have to participate in the fundraisers, as it is simply and great option to help out financially. The total that you make on the fundraisers will go straight to your account unless otherwise noted. There will be certain fundraisers for the whole studio and others for our  competition groups and traveling events to New York City, Bowl Games, Disneyworld.

Dropping a Class

You must notify Miss Becky promptly if doing so with a written note from parent and signature. Tuition will be dealt with as Miss Becky sees fit for each situation.
*Costumes are non-refundable. If a class is dropped after the costume deposit is made there will be NO refund given. If costumes have been ordered there is also no refund for this. You may pick up your paid costume when it arrives and no later than February of that dance year.
