I understand that Royal Dance Conservatory does not give credit and/or refunds for class(es) missed due to holiday, vacation, illness, weather, canceled classes, schedule changes, etc. I further understand that there are specific risks of physical or property damages, losses, or injury that may result from my or my child’s participation with Royal Dance Conservatory, and I voluntarily assume the risks associated with such participation.
There will be no refunds or credits if the school is required to close by the government and health authorities for COVID-19 public safety, natural disaster, fire, theft/destruction of property, pandemic, or government order. The studio reserves the right to stop all in-person classes at the physical facility and resume service virtually. Families will receive communication to access virtual/online classes. Classes may be combined by age and/or level at the determination of the studio owner. Tuition will continue to be charged at the full amount if the studio is required to move to virtual classes only or a hybrid of virtual and in person sessions.

AUTHORIZATION FOR DIRECT PAYMENT - AUTOMATIC/ RECURRING PAYMENT PLAN
You authorize regularly scheduled payments to be made. Proof of payment will appear on your account. The authority you give to automatically charge your payment information on-file will remain in effect until you notify us in writing to terminate authorization. If for whatever reason, payments cannot be processed to your payment information on-file and your account balance remains overdue, your enrolment in classes will be canceled. Notification of a change to Credit Card number or other information must be given seven (7) business days in advance of payment date.
I authorize Royal Dance Conservatory to initiate electronic payments for the balances due on my Royal Dance Conservatory account, using the credit card I have given them. I understand that payments will be automatically made throughout the year for any balance due on my account. I understand that the payment amounts may vary as classes are added/dropped and as other charges/payments are applied to my account.
ADDITIONAL COSTS FOR RECITAL & TICKETS:
All full year students perform in our recital days. One day is held in December and the other in May/June. It is the family’s responsibility to purchase tickets to see the event. Families are not able to participate in recital if there are any outstanding balances on their account. Costumes will be rented out from RDC to the student for the May recital for each class they are registered in. Damage to or failure to return a costume will result in a $200 fee. To confirm participation in our Recital events families must complete a form confirming their attendance and commitment. Once commitment is confirmed and form sent in students are committed to performing in the show and failure to do will result in a fee of $75.
