Late fees are $30 per dancer after the 15th of December and will increase by $10 after the 15th of every following month.

There will not be a refund of your registration fee, No exceptions. I agree I will be responsible for any remaining balance on the account if back payments were due and unpaid.
Family Rhythm will not assume when a member intends to discontinue (the completion of the concert or completion of summer semester is not an assumption of discontinuation. A form must be submitted.)
COMPANY DANCERS: I understand and agree that if my dancer is in a company I will attend the Mandatory Opener and Finale Practices. I agree to make attending my classes during choreography a priority and if a class is missed it is the dancers responsibility to learn the choreography or set up a private lesson with the teacher. If more than 3 classes are missed while learning one dance it is at the discretion of the teacher if I will remain in that dance. I understand and agree that my company members will be automatically enrolled in summer semester classes unless a discontinue form is received by May 15th.
2025 PERFORMANCE: MEMBERS DANCING IN THE 2025 CONCERT understand and agree that regular tuition will be charged for the month of June. Members who submit a discontinue form by May 15th are opting to unenroll from summer classes through July and August. Members are qualified to participate in classes through June as the tuition payment cover classes until the end of June. There will not be a prorated tuition for June. There will not be a refund for June notwithstanding the concert is held at the beginning of the month. Members can enjoy unlimited classes for the month of June as we will be in our summer schedule after the concert.
REHEARSALS: I understand and agree that if my dancer is in a company that is participating in the Opener and/or Finale piece, that we will attend the weekend rehearsals for the choreography. I understand and agree that I will pay for private lessons for my dancer if any of the 4 rehearsals are missed.
