The staff of Doty Performance would like to ensure the safest and most positive dance experience for your child. Please read through the following policies carefully and thoroughly before initialing and signing. Thank you.

PARENT’S RESPONSIBILITY:

It is the responsibility of Doty Performance to notify all students of any and all schedule changes. It is the responsibility of the student/parent to notify Doty Performance of any illness, vacation, financial problems, change in schedule or any other factors interfering with the established and hereby agreed upon Doty Performance. Important Note: Each student must be covered by their family’s insurance policy. If an injury occurs, it is understood that the student’s own policy is your only source of coverage/reimbursement.

TUITION & PACKAGES:
Tuition is paid on a monthly basis, due on the 1st of the month. Tuition is not prorated due to holidays or absences (no refunds). Tuition is not based on the number of classes in one month.

PLEASE NOTE: Automatic credit card deductions will be debited between the 1st and 5th of each month.

If tuition is not paid by the 10th of the month, students will not be allowed to participate in class until all fees (including late fees) are current.

Automatic Credit Card payments that are denied will be charged a $20.00 late fee. Any check returned to the studio for insufficient funds will be charged a $25.00 service fee – no exceptions.

ADDING/DROPPING CLASSES:

We kindly ask that you please notify the studio immediately if your child will be adding or dropping a class. If you choose to drop your child from the program, we must have written confirmation two weeks prior; if written notice is not given two weeks prior, tuition will be charged in full.

ABSENCES:

There are no refunds or adjustments made for missed classes. Tuition is based on enrollment, not attendance. As a courtesy, make-up lessons are available to students for two full months following the month in which the classes were missed, as long as tuition is paid for the current month. Make-up periods may be extended for unusual circumstances. When possible, we ask that parents please notify the instructor prior to the absence to that the instructor can plan accordingly.

Students who disrupt class will be asked to sit out of class, at which time a parent will be notified. Students caught stealing or students & parents not adhering to Doty Performance’s code of conduct policy will be dismissed from our program at the discretion of the Directors. Thank you.

CLASS ROTATION:

For liability purposes, only registered students and Instructors are allowed inside the classrooms while class is in session. It can distracting to the students and Instructors to have a parent inside the studio, especially to the younger ages. Parents will be invited into the classroom at the teachers discretion and on designated “watch days”.
