Studio Information and Policies

 

Tuition

Tuition will remain the same whether it is a long (5-week) or short (3-week) month and regardless of student absences. Please put your assigned Student or Family ID# in the memo space of your check or on an envelope with cash to properly apply your payment. It is payable a month in advance, due on the 1st lesson of each month. Tuition is a yearly contract but is broken down or your convenience into monthly payments. (Example: A student taking a 45 minute class is $825.00 per year or $75 per month.) A $10.00 late fee will be added for payments not made by the 10th of each month. There is no billing statement mailed, only late reminder statements will be sent when an account becomes past due. An optional monthly draft is available for those with busy schedules. There is no extra charge for this service. If a month's fee is not paid, your child cannot return to class until your account is brought current. We reserve the right to withhold a costume or participation in our recital until an account is current.

 

Registration Fee

A $35.00 fee for one child ($5.00 each additional child) is required with a registration form to reserve class space. *Ask to see if you have met the deadline for early registration! (Save $10)

Insurance

Dance Dreams does not carry medical insurance for its students. It is required that all dance students be covered by their own family insurance policies and if injury occurs it is understood that the students own policy is your only source of reimbursement.

​

Inclement Weather

The studio will not necessarily close for snow days, regardless if area schools are closed, since many times roads are safe and clear by 3:00 PM. If in doubt, call the studio for a recording or check your email for whether class will be held or not. Make up classes will be done on another day to be announced.

​

Holidays

Holiday dates will be posted on our web site and on the entrance door. An email or note will also be given to your child prior to a holiday period.

​

Attendance

Good attendance is imperative, as absences and tardiness can hold back an entire class, and the studio cannot jeopardize its responsibilities to the rest of the class for one student. Please make every effort to have your child to class on time. Repetitive tardiness may result in your child not participating in the show regardless of your costume purchase. It is also important that you pick up your child on time. Repetitive lateness will result in a warning and a babysitting charge.

​

Class Observation

Parents’ observation days will be the fourth lesson of every month. Observing classes at other times is not permissible.

Optional Fund Raising will be offered throughout the year to apply to costuming first and to tuition thereafter.

​

Annual June Showcase

Our Showcase will be held usually the 2nd weekend in June. Dance Pictures are taken the first weekend in June. Dates will be confirmed in the Fall. If you do not wish to participate in the Showcase for some reason, you must notify Glenna by the time costumes are ordered in November.

​

Costume and June Showcase Fees

Costumes may vary in cost but each is approximately $70.00 -$80.00. A costume deposit of $100 is collected in November from those taking a 45 minute to 1 hr. class. A $150 deposit is collected for a 1.5 to 2 hr.class. Competition teams pay a full deposit of $200-450 (PIF) by November. A deposit is required to order your costumes. NO DEPOSIT- NO COSTUME!! Please let me know if you are unable to be in the June Showcase. A Showcase Fee of $75 (per family rate) is due in May. This helps cover the cost of auditorium rental ($3500), Lighting props, stage crew, programs, trophies, etc. that goes into making a terrific performance. No selling tickets and you have unlimited guests. This fee also includes a video emailed to you to share with all your friends and family.
