REGULAR SEASON WAIVER & POLICIES Fall/Spring 2024-2025 (must agree to all in order to register for classes at KBDS)
~Annual registration fee ($64 per family) & first month's tuition is required upon student registration and is non-refundable for any reason. No student-registration will be accepted to hold without full payment included at the time of registration.
~Monthly tuition is to be paid on the first class of each new month. See the payment policy waiver for regulations regarding Credit Card/ACH/Auto-Pay and Cash payments. Parents will be responsible for legal and collection fees incurred by the studio should an account become delinquent. Kelle Boggs Dance Studio, Inc. reserves the right to drop registrant from class rolls in the event of excessive tardiness and/or absences, disruptive behavior, and/or non-payment of tuition or other charges.
Please note: In the event the dancer's tuition becomes delinquent, Kelle Boggs Dance Studio, Inc. will not allow the dancer(s) to participate in lessons until the account is paid in full.
~Weather/Holiday Policies: Class cancellation or missed classes: No refunds, deductions, or credits will be given for missed classes due to illness, holidays, studio closures, or closings due to weather. KBDS reserves the right to cancel any class not meeting minimum enrollment requirements. Classes may be held even if Putnam and/or surrounding counties are closed due to inclement weather. An email and social media notification will be sent out by NOON regarding the status of the day's classes. We do not follow Putnam County policy. Please ensure a current email address is submitted with the student information at the time of online registration, for access to our emailing system.
~Class Attire: Please see your dancer(s) class description on the online registration form. Dancers should take time and care when dressing for classes. Hair is always to be neatly tied away from your face, especially Competition and Advanced classes. Street clothes are not permitted in dance class. Instructors must be able to correct dancers appropriately and they may be obstructed if the dancer's alignment is hidden. We feel you must dress for success; therefore, when you look like a dancer, you will dance like one too! Please visit our website for more information on the Dress Code policy at KBDS: www.kelleboggsdancestudio.com
~Annual Christmas Show: Our annual Christmas Show presenting our students will take place at the end of the fall semester (DATE TBA) at the beautiful Clay Center for the Arts & Sciences of West Virginia. The show allows the students to perform and showcase what they have learned during the first semester of classes. PLEASE NOTE: **All students registering are expected to participate in the Annual Christmas Show as we believe the performance is an important part of the student's dance education.** All students participating in the Christmas Show will also be required to participate in any dress rehearsals- no exceptions.
~Annual Spring Production: Our annual Production presenting our students will take place Sunday, May 18th, 2025 at the beautiful Clay Center for the Arts & Sciences of West Virginia. The show allows the students to perform and showcase what they have learned during the dance year. PLEASE NOTE: **All students registering are expected to participate in the year-end Production as we believe the Production is an important part of the student's dance education.** All students participating in the Production will also be required to participate in the rehearsal performance- no exceptions.
~Costumes: A costume deposit and balance will be due on specific dates set by the studio. Costume payments are non-refundable for any reason. Once costumes are ordered, you are responsible for payment, in full, of all costumes/accessories. If deposits are not made, your child's costume will not be ordered; therefore, he/she will not be permitted to continue dancing until the payment is received. Keep in mind, when registering for classes in the fall, dancers are registering for the duration of the year; including participation in the Annual Christmas Show & concluding with participation in the spring Production. Please see the studio calendar located on your parent portal or by visiting our website at www.kelleboggsdancestudio.com
