There is a two month minimum for all lessons. One month notice from the first of the month is required to discontinue payments. To withdraw a parents must: 1) inform the studio in person , and 2) complete a withdrawal form. All charges will be stopped after the one month notice period.

Rescheduling and Substitution

Refunds

Refunds are only issued when DSD cancels a class due to low enrollment.

Class Transfer/Change

Changing class sections is allowed within one week of registration without a fee (only provided that a class option is open to switch to). There is a $10 charge for changes or cancellations made after the initial registration period (one week after registering).

Attendance

Regular attendance is vital to student progress and group choreography. Please make every effort to attend each class. Students may make up missed classes until April 1. If you miss more than two of the final 8 classes before recital you may be dismissed from participating in the recital routine at the discretion of the teacher.

Questions - We are happy to answer any questions you may have regarding your dancer and our program. Let us know if we can help in any way!

Observation

Parents are encouraged to view classes through our viewing windows. Other observation is at the teachers discretion. It is imperative that distractions be kept to a minimum for our dancers therefore parents and other students are not allowed in the studio during class.

Inclement Weather Policy

In the event of inclement weather, a message will be left on the studio answering machine after 2:00 P.M.  regarding the status of classes. Please note that we do not necessarily follow the school closings as roads are often cleared by the time studio classes begin. However, if schools are closed ALL morning and afternoon classes during school hours will be canceled. Any canceled classes can be made up on your own time from our regular schedule of classes. In the event that there is not a make-up class available, a replacement class will be scheduled.

Costume Orders

All classes have a costume for each style of dance unless otherwise noted. Costume payments are due IN FULL by December 15th. Costumes are ordered over Christmas break and costumes will not be ordered unless costume is paid in full. There are no returns on costumes once the order has been placed.

Signing this policy page informs us that you have read, understand and agree to abide by these policies.
