All tuition is non-refundable. However, exceptions are made either with a doctor’s note stating the medical reason necessary for withdrawal, or if a class is cancelled due to low enrollment and no substitution is available. You must provide 1 month’s advance notice in writing via email if a student plans to leave the program. Make up classes may be done in any class of the same or lower level.

I have read and understand the policies regarding non-refundable tuition, make-up classes and payment obligations, which are published on dancefremont.com

A Commitment to Protect Our Dance Community
DANCE FREMONT CLIENT CONTRACT

Dance Fremont is grateful for its staff and clients and wants to do its part to protect this important community. We are committed to continuing to monitor federal, state, and local guidance to adapt our plans and procedures.

Current guidance recommends asking participants to (a) monitor their risk for being infected with COVID-19 and (b) take precautions to prevent transmission of COVID-19. In order to protect our community, in the first section of this contract we are asking you to review and sign this contract indicating that you will follow this guidance. We trust that you care about the staff, fellow dancers, and our community as much as we do and so we are really counting on everyone to adhere to these practices.

Please also know that we at Dance Fremont are committed to following business guidance and procedures to protect our staff, you, and your families as well. We realize that we are still learning about COVID-19. As such, we are also asking participants to sign a release of liability and assumption of risk related to COVID-19 to help us protect our organization.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we navigate this new phase. We are part of Dance Fremont because we believe in building a supportive dance community, and we are grateful to have you part of this community.
