Lessons may be paid for on a weekly or monthly basis. We ask that payments are made on time so we do not have to ask your child to remind you about missed payments. In the event of absences due to illness, students are entitled to make up class by attending another class at their level. Click here for class schedule . All absences must be paid for!!

Trophies are given after our recital in June. ONLY those students who have made up ALL of their missed classes are eligible.

Regular attendance is essential for progress in dancing. A protion of each class is devoted to reviewing work from previous week's lessons. It takes twice as much time to teach a child who has been absent. Please notify the Studio by telephone when a student will not be attending class. High quality training is provided and the student should make a serious effort. All missed lessons must be paid for.

Our annual Dance Recital, to be held in June, is part of a child's dance education and an extension of the benefit derived from dance training. As part of their participation in the Recital, students lear cooperation, stage direction, how to overcome shyness and to project their individual personalities.

A deposit of $40.00 per costume will be due by November 1st. Costumes are ordered at the end of December. If we have not received your deposit by the due date, no costume will be ordered. Balances for costumes are due by February 1st. Further details on the recital will be provided in the next few months. It is not mandatory to participate in the recital.

Parent Observation Days: at the end of each month, you are welcome to observe your child's class. I especially encourage parents of teens and pre-teens to visit at this time.

If a student is not enjoying his or her class for any reason, please let me know and I will try to rectify the problem. Call my home in the early part of the day or after 9pm.

All students are required to arrive on time for their lessons, and while on the premises, to conduct themselves in an orderly fashion. No chewing gum, candy, soda,etc. will be allowed in the studio.
