Policies and Procedures
Regular Attendance and Arrival Time– Is very important and will enhance your learning capability. If you cannot come to class, please be sure to call, text, or email your dance instructor. Please arrive 5 minutes before class to put on dance shoes.
Dance Attire & Hair – Leotards, tank leotards, tights, biker shorts, crop tops, sports bras, dance shorts, jazz pants fitted at the waist, and unitards. Jeans and baggy clothing are not acceptable dance attire. Required dancewear and shoes must be worn to all classes. Hair is to be pulled back in a ponytail or bun.
Tuition for Lessons – Lessons are payable on the 15th of the month at 2 months at a time. Tuition is based on an 11-month program, August – June. Even though some months have 3 weeks, other months have 5 weeks, and it averages out over the course of the 11-month program. Please do not deduct classes missed from your tuition. When there are 5 lessons in a month, you receive the 5th lesson free. This compensates for an occasional lesson missed due to illness or when a holiday falls on the day of the lesson. All students enrolling will be signed up through auto-pay.
Registration Fee - A $55 registration fee is due once (unless you drop and re-register). It is valid from August through July.
Late Payments and Fees - Please add a $20 fee if paid after the 15th of the month. Please add a $35 fee to any bounced checks.
Withdrawals - There is a two-month minimum for all lessons. One-month notice is required to discontinue any/all classes. Withdrawal must be completed by email and sent to the Director at Dancelivedreamcenter@gmail.com. Be sure to have the Director's email confirmation of withdrawal. Withdrawal notice will not be accepted by a teacher it must be in writing by email to the Director. Withdrawal must occur within 30 days prior to the next billing cycle. If it is less than 30 days from the 15th of the billing cycle, you are still responsible for the two-month billing cycle of any/all of your class(es). Once tuition is drafted, it is non-refundable.
Makeup lessons – Effective May 1, 2023, DLDC will no longer be offering make-up classes due to limited spacing in classes, as the majority of the classes are filling up quickly. DLDC is not obligated to pro-rate, refund, or provide discounts if a student will be missing class due to unforeseen circumstances, vacation, illness, etc. Please note: we do offer classes on zoom as an option to attend your class online from the comfort of your home if you’re sick, or traveling!
Costumes - All students will be required to purchase one costume per dance class in the duration of the dance year. This costume will need to be ordered and paid for in November. This costume will be for your individual class. You will wear this costume on several occasions since we do performances at local festivals and fairs. All students will participate in our dance shows with their costumes. The costume's price varies from $65 - 90/each. THERE ARE NO REFUNDS ON COSTUMES.
Registration Fee – A $50 registration fee is due once a year. It is valid from the time you are registered with DLDC. The $50 annual registration fee will only re-apply if you withdraw from the classes and re-apply at a later date.
Pictures - Pictures are taken in the Spring time. All performing dancers are required to take a group picture even if you are not purchasing pictures.
Holidays Honored – Closed Halloween, Thanksgiving week, the weeks between Christmas and New Years, President’s weekend, Easter/spring week, Memorial weekend, Independence weekend, and Labor Day weekend.
No Food and/or Drinks – Only bottled water is allowed in the dance studio at any time.
