STUDIO POLICIES
TUITION AGREEMENT
Our program is a full academic year program. We offer a full refund (less the $45.00 annual registration fee), up to 2 weeks into the year if you or your dancer decide our program is not for you!
By registering your dancer for the 2023/24 season, you agree to the payment of a non-refundable, $45.00, per student. You also understand that full tuition will be due PRIOR to the start of the dance season. Tuitions not fulfilled may result in a loss of placement for the season.
Families enrolled in four (4) or more classes may contact the office and request a payment plan.
We offer both sibling and multiple class discounts.
By registering one also understands that The Dance Pointe is unable to furnish refunds/credits in the event we need to return to distance learning. The Dance Pointe will provide full instruction via zoom if necessary. No refunds will be given if distance learning becomes a necessity.
WEATHER CANCELLATIONS
We do NOT necessarily follow district cancellations and weather related decisions. A minimum of 1 snow/weather event day has been built in to each day of the week so no make up classes due to weather cancellations are offered.
We will communicate any weather related cancellations with you in a timely fashion via the following methods:
Studio wide email
Studio wide text message
ABSCENCES
Dance is an athletic art where presence is necessary. Work done in class can rarely be "made up" so we need all dancers to attend their classes every week. In the case of an extended absence due to illness or injury, please contact the office to find an appropriate class your dancer can attend in it's place. Multiple unexcused absences may result in the inability of a dancer to perform. We appreciate your dedication to our craft.
"DANCER ONLY ZONE"
Sometimes the first week or two of an activity, especially if it is new, can be daunting and confusing for young children. Our staff is well aware of this and go out of their way to comfort any dancer who needs an extra few minutes to acclimate.
Our studios are “dancer only zones”, in order to create a healthy and trusting bond between dancer and instructor.
If a dancer clearly needs to be soothed by a parent we ask that we do this in the hallway outside of the dance studio. This ensures that the other dancers in the studio can continue to focus on their class as well as the teacher.
If you have any concerns or questions please come to the office or speak with an instructor come the end of class.
We greatly appreciate your understanding and support as we look forward to a wonderful dance season.
SPRING PERFORMANCE
Our annual Spring Performance is held in either May or June. A costume fee of $TBD is required to participate. Tickets for the performance are at the cost of participating families and are sold through the theatre venue.
All dancers are also expected to attend dress rehearsals and are to be picked up AFTER the final curtain call of the show NOT during. This is to ensure the safety of all involved.
