Studio Policies
PLEASE READ THOROUGHLY
Tuition:
Tuition is charged monthly and expected to be paid by the 10th of the month. There
are no refunds for missed classes. A $25 registration fee is due upon registration. Auto
pay is run on the 5th of the month, or the very next working day. We do not charge
extra for 5 week months and full payment is due for 3 week/holiday months. You
are welcome to do make-up classes for holiday closures. Our tuition is averaged
out over the 40+ week season.
Attendance:
Attendance in all classes is very important in dance, providing consistency and
continuous improvement throughout the season. Arriving 5-10 minutes before class is
encouraged as well as prompt pick-up after classes. If a student chooses to unenroll,
a two week notice is requested. Tuition reserves your dancer’s spot in the class, so
unenrolling forfeits their spot. A new registration fee will be required to re enroll.
Absences & Make Up Classes:
Please go into your parent portal to mark your dancer absent when they miss class.
When a student misses class, they are able to do a make-up class within their age
range and level, pending availability. The class does not have to be in the same style
of dance. Any unused makeups are forfeited at the end of the season, or when a
student un-enrolls. Please let us know before attending a make-up class.
Studio Atmosphere:
Serendipity Dance Co strives to provide a positive environment for all faculty,
dancers, and parents. Negative, disrespectful, and rude behavior will NOT be
tolerated. Please help us create an encouraging environment for our dancers to grow
and prosper. Furthermore, we aim to provide a focused and structured class regimen
and ask that parents take advantage of the viewing windows so the dancers can fully
concentrate in class. We do not allow parents to observe inside the studios.
Studio Cleanliness & Appearance:
Students and parents are responsible for picking up after themselves (food,
beverages, trash, etc…) and all personal belongings in the lobby and dressing rooms.
Only water is allowed within the studios. If you have misplaced or lost an item,
please ask the front desk or email us.
Student Code of Conduct:
Serendipity Dance Co aims to train successful dancers as well as polite and
responsible, compassionate humans. Therefore, students are held to a high standard
of respectfulness at all times…implementing this code of conduct is crucial for the
student to flourish and improve in all aspects of dance and life.
Annual Recital:
Serendipity Dance Co holds an annual recital in June. Dates for recital will be released
as soon as possible. Finding a venue is always a huge challenge! All students are
encouraged to participate in recital, but participation is not mandatory. Recital costs
include: costumes and recital tickets. Students keep their purchased costumes. Please
let us know if your dancer is NOT planning on being in the recital as soon as possible.
Miscellaneous:
❖ Serendipity Dance Co is not responsible for any lost or stolen items.
❖ Serendipity Dance Co reserves the right to refuse service to a parent or dancer if
inappropriate behavior occurs or for lack of payment of tuition.
