Attention!     
In order to participate in recital, attendance for the dress
rehearsal is a requirement.  Vacations will not be an excused absence this year.

* Keep in mind that you will be assigned to just one show. Each show has a code color.
You will have one or two studio practices (depending on your level), one dress rehearsal on the stage,  
and one recital.     

* Our website is updated periodically.  We will make an attempt to send an email when it has been updated.
However if you are not receiving any emails, please check our website monthly.      
You may also use the contact page to inform us that  you need to be put on our mailing list.  
The address is    www.tippytoesschoolofdance.com         

*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.  Lessons can be made up by visiting another  
class.  Your teacher will provide a list of make up times.  There is no need to call when you have missed.   
Arrangements can be made through your teacher.     

*Some days miss more than others due to Holidays.  You are welcome to make those up as well.  

*In the case of bad weather, please check our website and your email inbox for cancellations.  
These snow days can be made up anytime by visiting another class.      

*Once enrolled, your monthly fee will be due your first lesson of each month until May.    
Tuition has increased by $2 due to rising operating costs.  Please see our Policy page on our website for
pricing.
You may disenroll at anytime.  However there will be a re-enrollment fee of $45 due upon re-enrolling  
during the same dance "year".      

* The policies page on our website lays out our dress code.  Students are not to wear street clothes (shirts,
sweaters, shorts, pants etc.).  Hair must be pulled back in either a ponytail or bun.  No bare feet (especially
if using our rental shoes). Teachers reserve the right to limit a student to observing a class if these rules are
not followed.      

*If participating in recital, please note that most classes will be told to wear their hair in a bun.    
If this sounds like a challenging task, use each class as a practice and ask your teacher for helpful hints.

* 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.

*Your teacher should prove to be a very helpful guide during the course of this dance year.  But if you ever
have
any concerns, feel free to use the contact page on our website to get in touch with the studio manager.
Thank you for choosing Tippy Toes as your "dance home".  We promise take good care of you and your little
one.
And we hope to make your time here special, something you will always cherish. That's what it's all about.   
We hold one studio practice per show.  
Please do not bring dance bags due to
limited space.
Parents are to drop off students.  Detailed
instructions will be given on what doors to
use.
Please do not bring dance bags due to
limited space.    
Parents of timid preschoolers may stay (in
the lobby-not the actual dance room)
Toddler "Mommy and Me" students may
have their mommy near by if needed.
This practice is optional for Toddler and
Preschool Levels, but is recommended.
