Visit the studio website often to stay up to date on studio happenings! Most important pages of the website: Important Dates and Class Schedule. Here you will find important dates, info on pictures, tights, costume pictures, music to practice with, etc.
Dance Fees: Monthly statements are sent via separate e-mail. Those on Auto Pay will still get a statement so that you know the amount that will be withdrawn from your account on the first day of each month. Please let me know ASAP if you do not receive your statement. Auto Pay only runs once a month. If your account is declined on the 1st, then you will need to pay by cash, check, or one time online payment through your parent portal.
Your September dance fees cover classes held: Sept. 5th – Oct. 2nd.
Dance Fees are due by the close of the business on the 5th of each month. A late fee of $10.00 is added to all past due accounts. Accounts past due as of the 10th of the month: your child will not be allowed to participate in class until the account is paid in full unless PRIOR arrangements have been made with me.
Music: music is now on the website so students can practice their dances at home. Click on Class Schedule tab in the menu bar, scroll down to your child’s class day/time and click on song name.
Costumes: Costumes that are in stock with the Costume companies will start arriving soon . Keep in mind that some sizes may not have been in stock and will ship at a later date. Costumes will be tried on in class, however, I would like for you to try them on at home ASAP for your approval. Any exchanges for size, must be done in 10 days and the exchange forms are in the waiting room.
Weekly Classroom requirement: ALL students MUST wear a leotard (any style/color) or a lycra athletic tank top. They may wear tights or leggings, shorts (spandex/stretch only), or a skirt (elastic waist only). Long hair MUST be pulled up in a ponytail or bun. Short hair must have bangs pinned back. They are to wear the correct shoes for each class they participate in.
