Drop out Procedure
Immediate notification is required if your child no longer wants to continue with classes. You will be required to pay for all dance classes received. Registration fees are non-refundable as well as Costume Fees. Costumes are ordered as soon as the fee is received, since they are made to order I cannot return them or collect a refund. If paid, you will receive a costume regardless if your child is in the recital or not.
Attendance and Weather Cancellations
Attendance is crucial to see development and growth. Please be on time, in proper attire, and ready to learn. If a dancer is more than 15 minutes late, they must sit out.
No refunds, if absent or for weather cancellations, classes can be made-up, or the dancer can attend another age-appropriate class if absent.
If Clearwater school district is closed due to weather, so will the studio.
​
Attire
Students must be in appropriate dance attire; such as, leotard, tank or bra tops, bootie shorts, dance or yoga pants, etc. Clothes need to be form-fitting, so I can properly evaluate the body. Hip Hop is the only exception, Hip Hop dancers can wear baggy or loose-fitting clothes. Jean material is not acceptable and hair needs to be pulled back away from the face.
Girls in ballet will need to wear a black leotard and pink tights; also, hair needs to be in a bun if possible. Boys taking ballet need to be in all black.
No loose hair or jewelry.
Dancers can wear socks AT THEIR OWN RISK.
Recital
There will be an annual recital in May each year. Attendance is even more crucial in the Spring to prepare for this big event.
No refunds or returns once costumes have been ordered.
I will collect costume money the middle of January and order costumes the end of January.
$20 recital fee (collected in May) and $50ish for costume
Recital is optional, but it is an awesome experience!
