Enrollment
Dance Productions offers a wide range of classes for beginner through advanced levels of dancers. The school year begins in Mid-August and ends with a recital in June. Enrollment is understood to be for the entire year which will complete a year’s syllabus of dance training for the desired level. The dance year is based on a 36 class session. The tuition schedule is divided into 10 monthly installments. Parents may decide to pay the full year tuition at a discounted rate. Dance Productions will accept students during the school year based on the availability of space. Upon competition of a registration card and registration payment, we will send a confirmation letter to you as well as an informative student handbook. The handbook will serve as a useful reference tool during the year and includes a complete studio calendar for the dance year.

Family Discounts
We encourage the entire family to dance! Families with 2 or more children will receive a tuition discount. Registration fees as well as recital fees will also be discounted. Siblings must be registered on the same day to receive discounts. Parents that want to join the fun with our adult program can also take advantage of our family discounts.

Tuition & Refunds

No refunds are available for tuition or recital fee. If a child misses a class we will be happy to arrange a make up class. Dance Productions accepts payments by cash, check, Visa or Master Card.

Class Placement
Students are assigned to classes according to their ability level and not necessarily by age or number of years of previous dance training. During the first 6 weeks of class, students are evaluated on their progress. If a teacher feels it would benefit the child’s individual needs to be placed in another class, parents would be notified by the teacher and arrangements will be made. Parents should feel free to discuss their child’s progress with us by making an appointment with the teacher.

Class Procedure
Each class will begin and end promptly on time. If your child is unable to attend class, please call the office and leave a message for your instructor. If you need to speak with instructor, please call the office and make an appointment. Instructors are unable to meet with parents during class sessions.

Arrival & Departure
Students should arrive no earlier than 15 minutes before their scheduled class time. Students are not allowed to wait outside for parents. Please come into the waiting area to drop off and pick up your child. If you have an emergency and will be delayed picking up your child, please call the office and see your child’s instructor upon arrival.
