Studio Policies for 2024-2025
Enrollment: Classes for the 2024-2025 session run from the last week of August through the end of May with an annual recital the last week of May or first week of June (date to be determined). Students may register up until Jan. 15th, 2025 for the recreational program. *Students interested in our Company Team (competitive program) should email Info@ImpulseDanceProject.com
Registration: To register for classes simply click the register tab and follow the instructions to set up / log in to your parent portal. You will be charged a yearly registration fee of $35 per student or $50 per family at fall registration.
Tuition - Payment & Refund Policies: Our program is based on 36 weeks of classes which is divided up equally into 9 monthly payments. We have built 1 additional week into the schedule to account for any inclement weather closures. The tuition rate will remain the same each month even though some months may have only 3 classes and some months may have 5 classes. Tuition rates do not change due to absences or studio closures for holidays or inclement weather as these are already factored into pricing.
*The studio will be closed for the following holidays: Labor Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving Break, Christmas Break, Spring Break, and Memorial Day.
Auto-pay: All accounts are asked to put a card on file for monthly tuition payments. Tuition payments will be withdrawn from your on-file debit or credit card on the 1st of the month. A $10 late fee will be applied to the account on the 7th of the month if the card on file is declined for any reason and payment has not been made. For all accounts who do not wish to keep a card on file, there will be a $10 monthly processing fee assessed. Payments can also be made by cash or check. Any returned checks will receive a $25 NSF fee.
*All payments for tuition, costumes, or other fees paid to the studio are non-refundable and non-transferable.
Withdrawals: To withdraw a student from a class, a drop form (available at the front desk) must be filled out. This MUST be submitted before the 1st of the month, in order to avoid being charged for tuition for that month.
Absences: If your dancer is absent from class and would like to attend a make up class, please contact the studio office for guidance on the best option. We ask that you let the studio know of any absences that will last more than 1 week. If a dancer misses class for multiple weeks we do not assume they have dropped the class. A drop form must be filled out to withdraw from class.
Year In Full Discount: If you would like to pay for the year in full you can receive 10% off your tuition. This payment MUST be made via cash or check to be eligible and received no later than Friday, Nov. 1st.

A studio newsletter will also be emailed monthly with important information and reminders. Families have access to the parent portal which will show account balances and other important information throughout the year.

Studio Closures: For inclement weather closings, Impulse Dance Project will follow the Mishawaka School closings and will be posted on WNDU16, WSBT22, and on our facebook page. We will not follow the Mishawaka School closings for non-weather related school closings such as holidays, in-services, etc…
Dancer / Parent Conduct: We expect all dancers and parents to refrain from using inappropriate language or behavior in the studio or at studio events. We are in the business of teaching young children and adults and MUST be good role models for them. Any dancer or parent not following this protocol may be asked to leave the studio by staff.
Discounts: Unlimited pricing may NOT be combined with Sibling Discount.
Family Unlimited pricing requires members to be of immediate family only and living in the same household.
Food/Drink: No food or drinks are allowed in studio room at any time. Only exception will be water bottles with lids - per instructor’s discretion. Please keep all food or other drinks put away in the lobby area. Dancers are responsible to clean up all of their food and trash.

Recital: Our end of the year recital will be held sometime between last week in May to first week in June. This is not mandatory, but is strongly encouraged. More information on dates, times, and location will be released soon!
Performance Fee: A recital performance fee of $55 per dancer will be posted for each dancer on your January statement and will be due March 15th. This fee will help cover fees associated with putting on the end of the year recital celebration. This fee also covers your dancer’s recital t-shirt, and two recital tickets for families.
Recital Costumes: As part of our Impulse Dance Project end of the year recital celebration performance, dancers will wear age appropriate and professional looking costumes. Costumes must be ordered months in advance of the performance to be made and arrive in time. These fees will be added to your account on October’s statement but payment will NOT be charged to the card on your account automatically. You may log in to your parent portal to pay these charges on your own or let us know to charge the card on file if you choose.
