Class Size: Classes can have 8-10 dancers (depending on the class). All classes need at least 2 dancers to run.

Tuition: Due by the 10th of every month. There is a yearly $30 registration fee for all new dancers and $10 for returning dancers. Payments are made through the dance portal or cash/check at the studio (by the 9th and be sure to include your dancer’s full name). All months of instruction are considered a full month of tuition. Payments for the month are to be paid even if the dancer is absent or leaves during that month. If a dancer has an outstanding balance for over 2 months, and no communication/payment plan has been made, NWBC will unenroll said dancer from the class. The dancer will not be permitted into classes until the balance has been paid. We also encourage quarterly payments for those who can and/or prefer.

Dress Code: All dancers are required to wear appropriate dance attire (leotard, tights, jazz pants, athletic wear, dance shoes) that matches the style of dance they are taking. No restrictive and/or distracting clothing. Hair (buns, braids, ponytails) should be out of the face and secure for the entire class.

Tardy/Absent: Dancers who are more than 10-15 minutes late will not be able to participate in class (also dependent on the teacher). They can still be in the studio and watch/take notes. Make-up classes are available if there is space in another class of a similar time frame/level. You can schedule make-up classes with the studio, as long as it is within the same quarter.

Health and Safety Guidelines: If you or your dancer are sick please stay home until symptoms are in their recovery stages (24hrs or more with no medication/progressing symptoms). Dancers who test positive for Covid-19, please stay home for 5-7 days (following the CDC guidelines) and return once tests are negative. If you or your dancer is injured please let your teachers know at the beginning of class. NWBC/teachers are not reliable for any injuries.

Studio Withdrawal: If you/your dancer wish to withdraw from NWBC, a notice of withdrawal must be provided in writing. The notice must be delivered in person at the studio or by email at least one month in advance of your official withdrawal date. All balances for tuition and fees must be paid in full by the time of the official withdrawal date. Please note that if you/your dancer choose to rejoin, entry may not be in the same level/class. Re-entry will not be permitted for those with an outstanding balance.

*NWBC may add or change our policies as we see fit. Changes would be made only to ensure we are doing what is best for the studio (teachers, dancers, and our community). NWBC reserves the right to refuse service for any reason. Our mission is to create a safe, creative, and welcoming learning environment for all our dancers. *
