4. Absences - Yours and/or your child's attendance in class is very important to their peers and our teaching staff. As a member of the team, it is a commitment for you to ensure you and/or your child attend classes on time each week and attend all lessons planned. Not only do absences impact the routines we create, it also impacts the social and confidence-building principals we work hard to foster in each age group. This is very important for select classes that only dance once a week. For the street/club programs, this applies to the assigned "Crew" classes, as all other training is optional. However, the best value and dancer development comes from more training. We encourage everyone to take full advantage of this unlimited program. If you know ahead of time that you and/or your child will be absent due to holidays/vacations, commitments or school trips, please let us know at pounditdj@gmail.com ahead of time so the class impact is minimal. If your child is sick, we ask that you inform our admin team as soon as you can so they can let the teachers know and preparations can be made to catch up on any missed work if needed. Unfortunately we are unable to accommodate make-up sessions for students who miss classes, but will make every endeavour to schedule a catch-up class in the unlikely event that Pound It Hip Hop Studio needs to cancel a lesson due to weather or illness.
5. Financial

Costume fees are $250 and are due November 20 or ( for late sign ups) on the first of the next month following registration. Workshop fees are due one week before the workshop. If financial constraints are an issue our dancers have accessed funding through Kidsport and Jumpstart programs in the past.
Travel
We offer amazing dance travel opportunities to our studio. We have taken several trips to places like New York, Philadelphia, Vancouver and most recently Kawasaki Japan. Hip Hop is now a global phenomenon and we want to give our dancers these opportunities as they come up. As we plan these trips we have realized the best times happen when all of our dancers and families stay together in the same hotel or resort, after all they are Pound It studio trips. Therefore all studio trip accommodations will be booked as a group- no exceptions. Flights may be booked separately to allow the use of travel points etc.
