Outstanding balances, if any, need to be paid at that time. Remember that there will be absolutely no refunds given for classes unattended. Excused absences can be made up with in a 2 week time period.

Attendance: Attendance plays a vital part in how well you or your child will progress in dancing. As a child it can be frustrating to fall behind and frustrating to the rest of their classmates if there are excessive absences. Please make every effort to be in class and to notify the studio by telephone if a student must miss a class. You may arrange a make-up class at that time. Make-ups should be made within two weeks of the missed class. Students do not need to make up missed classes for holidays because they are already accounted for in the fifth lesson of some months. If you are investing your time, energy and money into quality dance education, please give it your full attention. Credit is not given for absences.

Class Changes: If a student finds it necessary to drop or switch a class, please notify the front desk. If a student needs to withdraw from all classes, a withdrawal submission must be completed from your student portal, as tuition will continue to accumulate until the Withdrawal has been completed and submitted. A 1 month notice is required for the payment changes to become effective on the 1st of the following month.
