STUDIO POLICIES

Tuition
Tuition is based on the total yearly cost for classes and is due in full the first week of each month. A reminder notice will be emailed and posted the week tuition is due. Acceptable methods of payment include cash, check, or credit card. Any tuition payment made after the 10th of the month will be subject to a mandatory $10.00 late fee. There will be no deductions made in tuition for holidays or illness. All checks should be made payable to Premier Dance Academy and include the student's name. There will be a $25.00 fee charged on any returned checks. Tuition is non-refundable. If your balance is not paid in full by the date of the 2012 Spring Recital (including late fees if applicable), your child will not be eligible to perform.

Registration
There is an annual, non-refundable registration fee of $40 per family. Current students who register for the 2011-2012 season by June 3rd, 2011 are eligible for the $30.00 family pre-registration fee. First and last month's tuition is due at the time of registration.

Discounts
Tuition may be paid monthly, pre-paid by the semester (with a 5% discount; this option available only in August and January) or pre-paid yearly (with a 10% discount available only in August). No refund offered if student discontinues during the time discount is offered. Payments will not rollover past May 31, 2012.

Missed Classes
A make-up class may be taken within a month of the day missed. No refunds or prorating for missed classes. This will be strictly enforced.

Cancellation/Withdrawal
Premier Dance Academy reserves the right to cancel a class if it does not meet the minimum of 5 students. If a class is cancelled due to enrollment or other reasons, every effort will be made to place students in another class. 30 days notice must be provided in writing from a parent/guardian to the studio office prior to dropping or quitting a class or tuition will be owed for the following month.

2011-2012 Uniform Requirements
Students are expected to wear the proper uniform required for their class. Uniform requirements are listed on the back of the class schedule and on the website. All students must also have their hair up securely for class. A bun is required for all levels of Creative movement, Combination, and Ballet, while a ponytail is acceptable for all other classes. No jewelry is to be worn in class for safety purposes. All students should wear cover-ups to and from the studio. Please write student’s name in all dancewear and shoes.

Student Drop-Off/Pick-up Procedure
Teachers will dismiss students from class for parents to pick up in the lobby. Students are NOT allowed to wait outside of the studio for parent pick-up. Parents are encouraged to come into the studio to retrieve their child. The studio is not responsible for students waiting outside the studio.

Weather
In case of extreme weather conditions please call before coming to class. If Clear Creek Independent School District closes due to weather, we will be closed also.
