REFUNDS

Refunds will be given only within the first week of each session. No refunds will be given after that date. No registration fee will be refunded for any reason.

ADVANCEMENTS

The progression from one level to the next is determined on an individual basis by the instructor. Children may repeat a level several times to insure a solid grasp of the skills and concepts prior to advancing. Some children may be advanced mid-session if instructor feels it is in the student's best interest.

PARENT OBSERVATION

Toward the end of the semester parents are welcome into the classroom to view the progress of their children. It is not a performance or recital.

MAKE-UP CLASSES

Cancelled classes due to inclement weather or instructor illness, will be made up during the makeup week following each session. In the event of student illness or cancelled classes due to holiday closings, those classes may be made up in an appropriate level class with instructor permission. Any credit given for classes from which a child has withdrawn, for any reason, must be used within the same semester.

ATTIRE

Appropriate attire (leotards and tights for girls, sweat pants and tee shirts for boys) should be worn for all classes. Proper shoes are required for ballet, pointe, tap and jazz classes. Students are expected to have bare feet for all creative movement, predance and modern classes. Clothing or shoes are not to be left in the reception area. Parents: Disrobing and/or dressing children in the reception area is not allowed. Please make use of the dressing room for that purpose.
