Policies Tuition: Our monthly fee is a flat monthly fee due the first class of each month. It is a monthly charge. It does not represent the combined cost of four of five separate classes per month. It is due regardless of Holidays, cancellations, or a student's absence. There are no refunds or adjustments made for classes missed. Late fee: $5.00 late fee if not paid by the first lesson of the month. If you are absent, your tuition is not considered late if paid on the next lesson. If you forget your tuition please drop it off at the studio the week of the first lesson and it will not be considered late. Make up Lessons: If you are absent, you can ask your teacher for a class time to visit. We do not pro- rate tuition for missed lessons. It is a flat fee. Some days miss more than others due to Holidays. You are welcome to make those up as well. Re enrollment fee: Once enrolled, a monthly fee of $40 will be due your first lesson of each month until May. You may quit at anytime. However there will be a re-enrollment fee of $45 due upon re-enrolling during the same dance "year". This re-enrollment fee applies to former students who join later than September. No Cash: For everyone's safety we do not accept cash for tuition, costumes, or the fund raisers. Too much cash on the premises is dangerous. Checks: Please write your child's name and class day and time on the check. If you are taking class at both studios, please write a separate check for each studio. Returned check fee: $20.00 Observing class: One adult per student is allowed in the observation room. Please refrain from "coaching" your child during class. In order to continue this arrangement we need your help in creating a quiet learning atmosphere for the students. Recital Info: There is an annual recital. If you choose to be in the recital you will be required to buy 2 costumes, tights, matching shoes. There is also a recital fee. All accounts must be paid in full before participating in the annual recital Students are required to attend a studio practice and a mandatory Dress Rehearsal in order to perform in the recital. Vacations will not be an excused absence for missing dress rehearsal. If your child is in Beginning Level or above you will also be asked to put your child's hair in a bun or ponytail so that everyone's hair looks the same on stage. Please take this into account when considering being a part of the show. This can be a great source of stress to many parents, especially if your daughter has short hair. So use every class as a practice. Bangs will need to be pinned back, to give the appearance of a slicked back ballerina look. If their hair is too short, practice bobbie pinning it back away from the face. If it is long, you may want to put it in a ponytail first, braid it, and then wrap it around into a bun. Use many bobbie pins and hairspray. Some parents use a devise that you wrap the hair around to give fine hair more of a bun look. Please email us through the website and we can help in locating such a product. Rest Assured, parents of toddlers and little preschoolers, we are much more lenient when it comes to our tiny ones. Getting ready for dance class should not be a stressful experience for our little dancers. If you have family who also attends classes at Tippy Toes, do not hesitate to ask now if they will be dancing in the same show. The shows were divided over the summer. But we can switch what class a student attends to get them in the same show. This would be best if it is done soon, before the student gets too attached to a particular class. We carefully tried to get all families together, but sometimes there is an oversight. Fund Raiser: Sept-Oct. To be announced, possible spring fund raiser for recital fee |
