Studio Policies
Tuition:
Tuition is due by the 1st of each month, September-May. We do not send out reminders and all auto-pays are processed on the FIRST day of each month (if you have already set up auto-pay online with your account credit card). If for any reason your payment is returned NSF, you will be charged a $30 processing fee. You will be notified by statement for any NSF’s, late costume payments, or late tuition balances. You will receive this information by email only so please keep your email address current throughout the year. Tuition remains the same no matter how many weeks are in the month. It has simply been calculated for the whole nine month dance year and divided into nine monthly payments. Please make sure we have your correct email address by checking it out online.
Attendance:
Regular, on-time class attendance and participation is required by all registered students. Students are expected to respect teachers and other students; which includes no cell phone use during class.
The most crucial time for attendance in performing classes is the six weeks prior to a performance. If a class is to be missed in this time frame, it is imperative to give your teacher as much advance notice as possible. If you miss more classes than is approved by your teacher, you will be removed from the performance. Please email or phone asap for any absences in performing classes.
Holidays and Bad Weather:
If there is a bad weather day, the studio will only close if PGISD and TISD close. If in doubt, CHECK THE WEBSITE or look for an email. We We observe one week at Thanksgiving, two weeks at Christmas, and one week for Spring Break. Holidays will always be announced by email. We DO NOT observe any other in-service days or any other Holidays or days given by the Schools.
