Things You Should Know
1-Tuition is due every 4 weeks on your child’s
FIRST DANCE DAY OF THE BILLING CYCLE WEEK!
a)It
is due when your child walks in the studio door with the FIRST class
of the tuition week. (The dates
are all on the calendar I have distributed, posted on the outside
studio door& front window & will be posted
on the web site-
www.dancemoves-studios.com passsword-tatertots)
b)If
your child is absent on their regular tuition “day”, payment must
be dropped off at the studio or
in the studio mail slot within 3 days.
If
you choose to be billed by invoice there will be a 10 % surcharge for
the service. Late charges are AS FOLLOWS:. $50 or less is $5
$51-$99-$10
late
charge
$100-$150-late

$151 & over-late

If entire balance is not paid on time late charges continue to accrue
& are paid first..
LATE PAYMENTS ON “CALENDAR” ACCOUNTS WILL BE CHARGED 10% + LATE CHARGES
LISTED BELOW. There is a $20 fee for all returned checks.
THERE
ARE NO LONGER ANY EXCEPTIONS TO LATE CHARGES.
2-Your child should be dressed properly for dance class.
a)Leotard
& tights (for all ages) Ballet skirts for k & up, dance pants
are dancers choice.
b) No
dance shorts for beg. & int. dancers.
c) No
t-shirts. Leotards are preferred for all ages. Dance shirts hide body
position.
d) Please
do NOT layer dance pants. Layers of dance clothes hide leg & body
positions.
e) It
is necessary for dance pants to be shortened (not pinned) to the proper
length.
Dancers
will be asked to remove pants that are too long. Tights are required
under
dance pants..
f) No
writing on dancer butts.
g) No
underwear under leotards.
Dancers not dressed properly will be asked to call home for dance
clothes & watch the dance class until the proper dance clothes
arrive. Dirty dance clothes are not an excuse.
3-No
jewelry is allowed. This includes necklaces, bracelets, anklets, rings,
dangly earrings & pony tail holders on their wrists. Please make
sure these items are left at home. DANCEMOVES is not responsible
for lost items.
4-Tap
shoes with the exception of pre-school classes will be tan. Leo‘s split
sole tap shoes, tan jazz shoes, lyrical shoes, white acrobatic shoes,
pink ballet shoes-preferably split soles & in any case not Pay-less
or Wal- Mart. The $8 ballet shoes have no flexibility.
5-Dancers should have water or a sports drink with them. Please make
sure they discard the bottle or take it with them. Water is for sale at
the
studio for $1.00 per bottle.
6-All
dancers in 5-6-7-8 Dance, Inc. EXCLAMAT!ON, & Kidazzle &/or
attending conventions &competitions are required to have DANCEMOVES
jackets, t-shirts, dance pants, and dance bag.
7-All
dancers in the performance group are required to attend all
performances. If this is too much for your child to handle please let
me know. Absence at performances (as well as regular dance class) is
very UNFAIR to the
dance team.
8-Dancers in Tues. Thurs. adv. Sat. classes EXCLAMAT!ON &
KIDAZZLE.......
and
not their parents.....are required to CALL if they will be
absent...unless they have laryngitis or are on their “death bed”. These
classes REQUIRE commitment. Too many absences will result in being
dropped from the
routines. Costume charges & Showcase Fees are NON-REFUNDABLE.
9-If
Dancers in Kidazzle, or EXCLAMAT!ON, & are going to drop any dance
classes (for any reason) the first class to be dropped will be the
precision group. This has been the unwritten rule for 10 years and has
been the written rule for the past 6 years. These groups are all about
commitment to the group and to dance as an art form.
Thank
you for your support. Elizabeth & I are looking forward to an
amazing dance year!
