THE CHILDREN'S PROGRAM

OBSERVATION

We ask that parents observe their children in dance classes on the last class of each session only.   Dance requires visual and auditory learning and we encourage the students to focus on the process in the classroom.  Your presence puts a different concentration on the activities, especially with young children.

Very young children may be escorted to the studio on the first day. Parents should leave the studio as soon as the child is sitting upon the mat. Pre-school children must be toilet trained and ready to work in a group. Children must be picked up inside by an adult.

TUITION

We will distribute billing notices about half-way through the current session for the following session’s tuition. The tuition will be due by the designated date.  Late payments will be charged a fee of $7.00. At the time of billing, please inform us of any changes in personal information.  Also, if for any reason your child will not be continuing with us, please let us know immediately so that we may accommodate our waiting list. Refunds are given only for serious health problems. Late fee is $10.
