Classroom Policy

• We ask that parents DO NOT come into the classrooms when classes are in session.  It is distracting to the other dancers, and we ask that you view class through the viewing windows only.

• Please have your dancer come into class with his/her tap shoes on first.  Students should wait in the hall until their teacher is present before entering the classroom.

• Dancers should bring a water bottle to class for drink breaks during their class time.

• Bathroom: Parents of children under 8, please take your child to the restroom prior to class to avoid disruptions.

​

Missed Classes

We are unable to offer makeup classes for any missed classes. Classes missed for illness, vacations, etc. will not be refunded or prorated. 

​

Cancelled Classes – Inclement Weather/ Unforeseen Circumstances Policy

In the event of inclement weather or circumstances beyond our control and a studio closing is required, we will leave a message on the studio voicemail, send an email, and post this notification on Facebook/Instagram.  There are no refunds or makeup classes for studio closing due to weather conditions and/or circumstances beyond our control. ​

 

Extraordinary Circumstance for Extended Closures

Should Dance Arts Centre face an unplanned closure due to unforeseen circumstances out of our control (flood, tornado, fire, pandemic, etc.), teachers will take advantage of online options such as Zoom and YouTube, etc. to get instruction to our students virtually.  In the event of this kind of closure, communication will be sent out immediately and for the first 30 days following closure tuition will stay at 100%, no cancellations and no refunds.  After 30 days we will discount classes 15%.  If we need to go to long term virtual classes, time may be modified and classes may be shortened by approximately 15 minutes.
