I. TUITION FEES
Monthly tuition fees are due on the 1st of each month. Tuition is per month not per class. After a 5-day grace period, any payment not received is subject to a $10.00 late fee. If there is not payment by the 7th of the month, your card will be charged that months full balance inclusive of the $10 late fee. The tuition fees are the same every month, including the months shortened by holidays. Tuition remains the same regardless of absences and whether it is a long (5-weeks) month or a short (3-weeks) month. Tuition is based off a 10-month annual year, beginning in August and ending in June. Please read the following payment options below and circle your preferred payment option. Please sign the Credit Card Authorization form and provide a copy of your credit/debit along with a copy of your driver’s license for our records.
Autorenewal Registration: At the conclusion of each dance season, all current students are automatically enrolled in the next upcoming dance season. If your prior dance season bill is not current at the end of the season, you will not be able to register for the upcoming dance season. During this process, administrative, front desk, and teaching staff will determine the most optimal class for each student. If you need to change your class due to scheduling conflicts, or drop your enrollment altogether, you must contact the Director after annual recitals are completed. Registration Fees for the next dance season will be run via autopay on July 1.
Roll-over Registration: The season is for 10-months, but due to the date of the recital, the dance class registration may roll-over to the following month and will be month to month until a new dance agreement is signed.
Payment Options:
1. You may pay by Credit/Debit Card. The account holder is responsible for providing a copy of their credit/debit card and their driver’s license/ID for our records. The account holder will also sign a credit authorization form. The credit card authorization will remain in effect until cancelled. You may cancel this authorization by written notice to the Owner within thirty (30) days before upcoming tuition payment.
*IMPORTANT*: Upon enrollment, you must provide a credit card, debit card, or checking account number to be placed on file in Intencity, LLC’s autopay tuition system.

B. STUDENT PLACEMENT AND PROGRESSION
Our professional staff at Intencity Dance are trained to teach the art of dance. Our instructors are professionals who will determine your child’s educational decisions regarding their dance training. New students are placed by age, grade, number of years’ experience, type of training and teacher’s discretion. We do our best to place each dancer on the background you provide for us. If a student is placed incorrectly, they will be moved during the first few classes. Not all dancers progress at the same pace. Many factors such as physical growth, learning speed, coordination, number of classes, natural ability, etc., play a primary role. There are great physical and emotional risks involved with a dancer progressing too quickly. Please allow us to place your child where we feel they can enjoy dancing, learn correctly and make excellent progress. Any questions or concerns regarding your child’s class placement and progress are welcomed.
Please contact the Director to schedule an appointment to address any concerns. C. CLASS INFORMATION
Each class offered at Intencity Dance will be taught by a qualified instructor. Student assistants will be present in classes when deemed necessary by the director. Please stay with your child until their class begins. If anyone other than the parent or guardian will be picking up the dancer, inform the teacher/office ahead of time. A short water break will be taken during the two-hour classes. Please bring a water bottle. Students are not allowed to bring food or drink into the classroom. Cell phones must be turned off during class. If there is an emergency, please call the studio office. T-shirts are only permitted for Hip-Hop class and are not allowed in any other dance class or dance room. Dancers with T-shirts will be asked to leave class and sit in the lobby. Instructors need to see the movement and body position of the dancer to properly instruct.

K. RECITALS
Recital and recital rehearsals are tentatively scheduled for May or June. Please be
open and available between 10 am – 6 pm.
We regret we are unable to accept any special requests for days or times. Please
note, you may be asked to provide specific color tights and/or dance shoes for the recital. We are instilling the value of a polished, professional performance which requires regular attendance, dedicated practice and full-dress rehearsal participation. Therefore, our dress rehearsals are mandatory, and our dancers may not participate in dress rehearsal only, as this proves detrimental to the entire group and final presentation.
L. SpecialPrograms
Competitive Dance Team (By Audition Only)
Intencity Dance offers students an opportunity to audition for our competition dance team. The dance team travels to competitions and dance workshops. They also perform in our community at festivals and events. Auditions are held each year in May and August.

Remember all Directors, Staff Members, and Guest Artists strictly enforce all policies.
P. CLASS ETIQUETTE

only for others, but also for themselves in and out of the classroom setting. Each Student must arrive on time to their appropriate class with all hair out of their face, no chewing gum, no talking in class unless spoken to by the Instructor, Director, or Choreographer. Always remember that first and foremost dance is a discipline that should be taken seriously, always.
Your discipline, hard work, and dedication will determine your skill level. The goals set forth by you will determine how you will improve in the way desired. Teachers can only do so much then it’s up to the students and parents to be of assistance in this matter.

U. GENERAL STUDENT EXPECTATIONS
1. Students will help their parents out by being ready to go to class by the time
parents are ready to leave their home.
2. Students show respect for themselves and others by being dressed appropriately
for class, such as:
A. No jewelry, other than small earrings
B. Shoe strings should either be tucked in or tied in a knot and cut off.
C. Please do not wear underwear under girls’ leotards when wearing tights.
(Traditionally tights act as underwear. Wear underwear when not wearing
tights in the warm weather.)
D. Student’s hair is to be pulled up off the neck. For 6-year old and under, a
bun is preferred.
3. Students show respect for others by:
A. Keeping their hands to themselves during class.
B. Waiting quietly for others to have a turn.
C. Waiting until the music is finished before entering the classroom if they
are late to class.
D. Not borrowing items, cash or other valuables without permission from the
Owner of the item(s).
4. Dancers show respect for their teacher and the art form they are learning by:
A. Being properly dressed and ready for class on time.
B. Listening when the teacher speaks.
C. When sitting on the floor, sitting criss cross style with back up straight.
D. Being prepared for their turn.
E. Always asking before leaving the room for any reason.
F. Applauding their teacher at the end of class.
G. Do not bring in gum, drinks other than water, or food into the classrooms.
H. Never hanging on the barres.
I. Discarding trash in the proper places.
J. NEVER touching or hitting the mirrors, a very important safety issue.
V. GENERAL EXPECTATIONS OF PARENTS
1. Parents show respect for the dance class, teacher, and studio by:
A. Knocking before entering the classroom, if a class is in progress.
B. Picking students up promptly after class.
C. Making appointments to meet with the teacher if a conversation is
expected to exceed more than a few minutes.
Please make sure that your child goes to the bathroom right before you leave home. This will ensure that your child will not miss out on valuable lesson time while they’re in the bathroom.
Please give your child the space and freedom to explore dance on his/her own. If your child has problems separating from you, that is usually a good sign that your child should most likely wait 6 months to a year before they enroll in dance lessons.
Proper hygiene is essential in all aspects of life. It is very hard to approach a child or parent about a lack of cleanliness or a foul body odor. However, in a dance studio where activities induce sweat and children are moving through the space, odors can become a terrible distraction and an embarrassment for the child, should a classmate be insensitive and say something out loud. To avoid these problems, please be sure all dancewear is laundered after each wearing; hair should be clean and pulled back properly, and deodorant should be a consideration for all students age 7 and up for dance class. Please, NO PERFUME prior to class as this will cause a terrible odor, as well as aggravate allergies of other students.
2. Waiting Room Etiquette
Intencity Dance was founded on family, and this is an important part of what we do. Although we are a “child friendly” environment, we are still a business. All children should be supervised while in the building. Do not allow them to play with the chairs, divider wall, doors, blinds, etc. Siblings are welcome but activities should be quiet and not disruptive to class, office, or others waiting in the lobby area. Please keep conversations age appropriate for children's ears and be respectful of others waiting. We appreciate your assistance in keeping our facility clean and pest free. You will be charged if students are not picked up in a timely manner.
3. Classroom Etiquette & Viewing
We all want your child to enjoy dance class, but it’s also important that the class remains in control. Students are expected to behave respectfully to fellow students as well as the instructor. We as teachers understand that some days are better than others, however, students who are excessively disruptive during class will be asked to either sit in the classroom or leave the room for the duration of the class. The instructor will fill out a disciplinary form and have parents sign when necessary. Class viewing is at the discretion of the director. The studio doors will be closed for the majority of classes. Remember you are a “stranger” to the other students in the classroom and could be a distraction keeping them from fully participating in class. The director may invite parents to watch part of the class on certain days. Parent observation weeks will be scheduled at the discretion of the director. Notification will be sent home with the dancers prior to parent observation classes.
