Danceography Fall & Spring Performances:
Fall classes will be held September 13th 2021 – June 3rd, 2022. Spring Showcase will be held tentatively Saturday, June 4th, 2020 with two shows tentatively at 4:00pm & 7:00pm and *times are subject to change. I also understand by signing below, I agree that they will participate in the Spring Showcase.
Class Layout:
I understand fall semester is an education semester full of fun and clean choreography. I understand my student will be learning how to properly stretch, technical elements the style of dance needs, and constructive feedback to ensure each element is executed safely and appropriately. My dancer will be responsible and know they are asked to practice outside of class as September-May on technique as well as their spring routine.
Dress Code & Dance Bags Required:
Danceography does require fitted clothing / dance attire and shoes must be worn to all classes. Failure to wear the appropriate dancewear to class could result in students being asked to sit out of class. We do prepare them with what to put in your dance bags by digital copy of our Handbook found in Dropbox. Students are not permitted to wear jeans, dresses, nor street shoes to any dance class at any time. For safety reasons, dancers are not allowed to wear jewelry. Hair must be pulled back in pony tail or bun. Please wear dance shoes to class and indoors only. If enrolled in a ballet–leotard (any color), pink tights, and hair in a bun are required to every class. We do sell these at our studio location for convivence and ease of purchase.
Danceography Costume & Recital Fees:
Spring Showcase Costume Deposit will be automatically added to your November invoice. There will be no refunds on any costume deposits if a child drops class before performance time. You forfeit costume and the costume deposit if the student withdrawals from class. Your Spring Showcase costume fees are $75 (child sizes) $85 (adult sizes) per routine. Unless you are a late enroller – you will owe the full costume deposit upon the month of enrollment. The costume fee does include ONE set of tights. If more colors of tights are required, you will be required to purchase the required tights from our studio. The Recital fees are incurred at the time of ticket purchase. The ticket prices will be determined at a later date but range from $10-$15 per recital ticket. Please plan accordingly. Ticket sales dates will be on sale one month prior to recital dates. We have multiple shows, and one show at which specific families are to attend – which avoids sell outs.
Monthly Tuition:
Tuition rates are due monthly, semester, or yearly. There is a 5% discount for paying for the full semester up front & 10% discount for paying for the year in full by September 13th at 8:30pm with cash or check only. There are no discounts on costume deposits. November is a full monthly fee + spring costume fees. January is a full monthly fee due by January 10th at 8:00pm or there will be a $10 late fee applied every week that my payment is late or cannot withdrawal from account. Months with celebration weeks are not pro-rated. There are no refunds. (i.e. no refunds for months paid ahead of time, costume deposits made, nor shoe deposits, etc). By signing, you acknowledge that you understand all your payments will be due the 1st of each month. Failing to pay by the 1st of each month, your account will incur a $10 extra fee per week the invoice is late. Tuition can be paid by automatic withdrawal from any card of choice.
Parent’s Responsibility:
It is the responsibility of the parent or adult student to be aware of all Danceography dates such as: recitals, performances, fun days, whether the studio is open or closed, celebrations, spring break, thanksgiving break, etc. We update the bulletin boards, send monthly email reminders, use Facebook Danceography Family Group, share files through Dropbox with you all, as well as update our public Facebook and Instagram pages often. Periodically, printed memos will also be sent home. Please do your child a favor and check your email, text, and schedule to stay on top of their dance world! You won’t want to miss out on news that comes out.
Care of Students before and after class & Injuries:
Danceography is not responsible for providing before or after care for students. Parents with children under the age of 6 must stay with the child until class begins and pick up the child inside the building when class is over. Students are not to be left at the studio for excessive time before or after class. Parents, legal guardians of minor students, or adult students, hereby waive the right to any legal action to any injury sustained on school property resulting from normal dance activity or any other activity conducted before, during, or after class time.

Certificates and trophies are handed out at recital. We look for students who do the following: represent Danceography well inside and outside of the classroom, are respectful to peers and teachers as at all times, work hard inside and outside of the classroom, are eager to learn, have fun in the class room, bring a good energy every week, do not complain and overall just a great student!
