Rules and Regulations

DRESS CODE: Those not adhering to dress codes will not be allowed to participate in class.
1. Male & Female: Only supplied leotard, biketard, or unitard with appropriate tights or socks.
2. Shoes: Varies with each class.
3. Jewelry: No hanging jewelry is permitted.
4. Hair: Must be pulled back and off the neck.
ATTENDANCE: Students must be on time for class. Tardiness will interrupt the class and teacher. There are no refunds for missed classes. Make-up classes are available for absences deemed excusable by the instructor. We can not be responsible for your child(ren) before or after class except in emergencies.
WITHDRAWALS: Any student who wishes to withdraw from class may do so by sending written notice 30 days in advance. No refunds are granted for any classes missed during the month in which a student withdraws. Students are responsible for all tuition until this written notice is received.
DANCE RECITAL: The dance season ends in November with a recital. Participation in the recital is optional. A recital fee and prop fee is required for all performers. This fee covers costume, theatre rental and other production costs. This fee is due upon demand, so costumes may be ordered to arrive on time.
RECITAL WITHDRAWAL: Withdrawal from the recital after plans have been made creates problems for our faculty and other students. Once a student has committed to the recital, we ask that he/she fulfill his/her obligation to the others involved. Therefore, any student withdrawing from the dance recital for reasons other than illness or relocation will forfeit their entire recital fee plus their costumes.
FEES: All class fees are due on or by the 1st class of the month. A $15.00 late fee will be added to all fees paid after the second class of the month. Checks are payable to Shirley W. Smith. There will be a $25.00 charge on all returned checks. Effective January 1, 2000, first and last months tuition, (January and November), must be paid by the first class in January, 2000.
