Payment:
-Payment is required prior to the start of the semester.
-Missed classes are not pro-rated or redeemable for cash.
-If your balance is not paid in full by the end of the semester, your child will not be able to participate in the recital.
-Payments made by card are subject to a card processing fee of %2.9.
Refunds (Fall and Spring Semesters):
-We offer full refunds prior to the 2nd week of weekday classes. At the start of the third week, after classes start, we have a strict no-refund policy.
-Saturday and Sunday Company Rehearsals are nonrefundable.
Attendance / Punctuality:
-Please inform us of any expected absences up to 24hrs before the scheduled class time.
-Arriving late to class can be disruptive to other students, distracting to the focus of a learning atmosphere and difficult on the groups’ progression in learning. Please inform us if you know your child is going to be late.
-If you are more than 15 minutes late to class, it is up to your teachers’ discretion as to whether or not you will be allowed to join the class on the floor, or be required to only observe.
-ESDC does not offer make up classes as each class is specifically tailored to the students registered.
-Due to the rigor of the curriculum, a maximum of 3 absences are allowed (barring special circumstances communicated to ESDC staff). Exceeding these 3 absence limits may result in the student not being able to participate in the final performance or video shoot.
Class Etiquette:
-Cell phone use is not permitted during class time. Please leave phones on silent or turn them off. If you need to get in touch with your child during the class, please call the office.
-Negativity and disruptive behavior are not tolerated at ESDC. Teachers reserve the right to ask a student to sit out for a portion of the class.
Drop off:
-Children will not be permitted to enter the studio until 5 minutes prior to the start of class. If they arrive earlier, they will be required to wait outside, so we urge you not to leave them unattended.
-Shaking and banging on our door can be both disruptive to classes that are in session as well as damage to the door itself. We kindly ask you to address such behavior if it occurs
-Please make sure your children use the bathroom before arriving, to prevent emergency bathroom needs while another class is in session
-Parents are not allowed to watch while class is in session, as it is a distraction for the students.
Recitals/Class Video:
-This semester we will be filming dance videos for our students instead of holding a Fall recital. These videos will be filmed outside twice during the semester. Once before thanksgiving and once after. Please let us know if you are uncomfortable with your child participating in these videos shoots for any reason.
