MISSED CLASSES
**For each student's safety and comfort as well as those of our instructors, we cannot allow sick students to attend class. A student who becomes ill will be isolated and the parent notified to promptly pick him or her up. There is no guarantee that your dancer will not be exposed to illness. By sending your student to Praise Performing Arts Center, you understand and assume full responsibility for any such risks. We take safety and sanitation very seriously in our studio, making sure we sanitize our rooms, equipment and floors daily.
MAKE UP CLASSES
If you know in advance that you will miss a class, please notify us as a courtesy, however dance class makeups are not an option as we are not currently offering multiple classes for each dance type.
WITHDRAWAL POLICY
To withdraw from a class, we request a 30 day notice in writing or by email. Once we receive your notice of 30 days you will not be billed after that time period. Students and or Parents will be responsible for any and all tuition up to the date that the student's enrollment is terminated.
CLASSROOM RULES
No chewing gum in class. No food or drink allowed inside the classroom (bottled water only). Cell phones should be turned off, placed within the dance bag and not used until classes are finished for the evening. Dress appropriately. Students not properly dressed will not be allowed to participate in their class that day. Please be respectful and courteous to everyone including our staff and other students. Please be prompt to class.
LATE ARRIVAL POLICY
To ensure a respectful and effective learning environment, students are expected to arrive by the start time of class. Repeated late arrivals will be addressed with the parent to help correct the tardiness.
If a student anticipates being late, they should notify the instructor in advance when possible. Chronic lateness may lead to a discussion with the instructor and/or director about its impact on participation.
Punctuality in dance class is crucial for safety and effective learning. Arriving on time ensures participation in essential warm-ups, which prevent injuries, and allows students to receive all necessary instructions. Late arrivals can disrupt the class and compromise safety by missing critical movements and adjustments. Thus, being on time supports both individual and group well-being.
CLOSURE POLICY
When Cy-Fair ISD closed due to inclement weather, the studio will be closed as well. Should the studio need to be closed due to inclement weather or by order of the Governor for less than two weeks, make-up options will be offered. Should the closure last longer than two weeks, we will notify you of next steps. Tuition should be expected to remain the same.
MISCELLANEOUS
It is the parent's responsibility to pick up their children from class on time. We are not responsible for your child other than the time he or she is in the classroom. Pick up and arrival time should be no earlier than 10 minutes prior to class and 10 minutes after class. Please keep in mind our lobby space is limited and we would appreciate your consideration in bringing only students that are being serviced in our programs. This helps us keep our traffic flow manageable as students are coming and going.
It is our responsibility to maintain the highest standards of dance training for students of all ages and levels. Respect and proper discipline is required at all times and we reserve the right to dismiss any students that do not abide by our policies.
