Tuition for classes is yearly broken down into monthly payments for convenience. The monthly payment remains the same regardless of the number of weeks or holidays in a month. We encourage all students to participate in our auto-pay program. Families who enroll in auto-pay will receive a tuition discount. All tuition not received by the 5th of any given month will incur a $15 late fee. Statements will not be mailed. It is your responsibility to ensure that payment is made on time. A $25 fee will be charged on all returned checks. Tuition is non-refundable. We require drop forms to be submitted in writing by the 15th of the month to avoid a tuition charge on the upcoming month. Not attending class does not automatically drop your child from the program. Their space will be held until a drop form is received. Drop form request should be submitted via email.
We are an environmentally friendly studio and communicate electronically with our families. Parents must have an active email address OR be willing to receive studio texts.
No food of any kind is allowed in any of the dance studios. Water is the only beverage permitted provided it is in a tight sealed container. Water bottles are available for purchase at the front desk. To ensure your student stays hydrated and to limit class interruptions, please send a water bottle with your student.
Proper dance attire and shoes should be worn at all times during class. Please see the dress code located on our website under “Classes” for more details.
No photography or videotaping is allowed at The Dance Factory unless prior authorization is given.
Our recital will be held January 27th 2018. This will be our largest production in the dance year featuring all of our Dancers and Dance Company members. There is a non-refundable recital fee for each participant. This fee helps cover venue rental, technical staffing, programs, and sets. Detailed recital information will be distributed after the start of fall classes.
A registration form must be completed by a parent, legal guardian, or any student over the age of 18 before the initiation of any class. There is a $30 non-refundable registration fee required each school year. Tuition plus the registration fee must be paid to complete your registration and secure your space in class.
Students should make sure all personal belongings are labeled and stored in the designated cubby areas during classes. The Dance Factory is not responsible for lost or damaged personal belongings.
Children can be dropped off no sooner than 10 minutes before the initiation of class and must be picked up immediately after class. Supervision of students by studio staff occurs during class time only. After an initial reminder, anyone student picked up more than 5 minutes after the end of class will incur a childcare fee of $1/min billed on the next tuition cycle.
Costumes will be selected by each teacher in August and distributed to each student by December. Recital fees must be paid in full in order to receive your costume.
For student safety and to minimize distractions in the learning environment, no person other than those enrolled in the class will be allowed in the class. Parents will have opportunities throughout the year to observe their students in action.
Trial classes are available for new students as space permits at studio discretion. Please request a trial online or contact the studio: [email protected]
In order to experience the full benefits of dance, students are expected to attend class regularly and on time. Absences can be made up in a comparable class (if one is available in the same session) within 4 weeks of the absence date. Make-ups are non-transferable. We have the right to refuse the use of a make-up if class size is prohibitive. Only two make-up classes will be approved in any given month. No refunds will be given for absences under any circumstance.
In the rare event that class is canceled due to emergency or teacher illness, a makeup class will be arranged or credit given if a makeup class is not possible. We will do our best to notify each student by phone or email as soon as we are made aware of the situation.
We reserve the right to cancel classes which do not meet minimum enrollment.
