6. Returned Checks: Checks returned to us for insufficient funds will be resubmitted for deposit. If you do not wish to have the check resubmitted you must notify us ASAP. A new check for payment should be issued at that time. There will be a $30 charge for returned checks.

7. REFUNDS - NO REFUNDS will be given after the first class! Dancers who have paid in full will receive a partial refund based on the date of withdrawal from the class. Exceptions for extenuating and/ or extreme circumstances will be reviewed on an individual basis at the discretion of the studio directors.

8. Class Minimums – Minimum enrollment is 6 students/class. If the minimum student enrollment is not met, classes may be cancelled or combined at the discretion of the studio directors.

9. Placement – Placement in classes will be determined by the studio directors and class instructors. Placement classes for new students with experience will take place before the beginning of the fall session. Each child’s placement in a particular class will remain open for review for the first four to six weeks of classes. During this time, we will continue to assess the child’s learning curve and their ability to maintain the pace of the class in which they were placed. If there are concerns regarding your child’s class placement you will be notified prior to any changes in your child’s class placement. All new students are considered on “probation” until the six-week evaluation period is over.
