You must complete a "CLASS CHANGE FORM" to request the change. All changes are contingent upon available space in the new class and dancer proficiency. Additional tuition will apply if the new class requires a higher rate.

Dancers learn the most in an environment free from distractions. All students need to be focused in the classroom. Exceptions, with the approval of the teacher, are made for pre-schoolers who need additional time to feel comfortable and secure.

If you decide not to enroll in another class, you will receive a full refund of tuition fees. If a class is canceled, registered students will be informed by phone.
- REFUND POLICY: All fees are not refundable except for the cases noted previously.
- COSTUME POLICY: In most cases, costumes have to be ordered in December in order to arrive in time for May recital. It is also not normally possible to exchange for a different size once ordered. Therefore it is important that the dancer be present for measurements. Some costumes may require minor adjustments by the parent prior to the performance. For new enrollments after the first of December, an additional $10.00 expedition fee will be added to the recital costume fee.
- LATE PAYMENTS: If a fee payment is rejected due to Non-Sufficient Funds in a checking account or due to an invalid credit card, it is the parents responsibility to provide a valid form of payment within 10 days or the account will incur a $15 late fee. Accounts over 20 days past due will result in your child being unable to attend classes and you will still be responsible for paying the account balance whether your child is in class or not. If a check is returned for Non-Sufficient Funds, your account will be charged a $25 NSF fee. Any delinquent accounts after 2 months will be sent to collections.
