CDA STUDIO POLICIES

Thank you for reviewing and accepting these policies & reminders. Please let us know at any point if you have questions.

PROMPTNESS

Students must be on time for class. Dancers arriving more than 10 minutes late will be asked to sit and takes notes instead of being allowed to participate in class. We suggest you arrive 10 minutes prior to your class to have time to change, stretch and prepare for the class.

DRESS CODE

Dress Code must be adhered to at all times, including hair. Please wear street clothes over your dancewear when outside of the studio. Street shoes must be worn to and from the studio. No dance shoes are allowed outside.

APPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR

Appropriate behavior is expected at all times, towards the CDA staff, other students and any and all visitors to the studio. CDA reserves the right to dismiss those not adhering to this policy.

TUITION DUE DATE & LATE FEE

Tuition is due on the 23rd of each month for the following month. I understand that the debit/credit card transaction will occur on or near the 23rd for all enrolled classes. All drops or withdrawal requests must be received in writing prior to the 23rd of the preceding month, and no refunds are given once payment has been received. Tuition is non-transferable. If, for whatever reason, we have not received payment by the 5th of the month, a late fee of $15 will be assessed and all fees will be drafted from the credit/debit card account you provide.

ENSEMBLE FEES

California Dance Ensemble, Mini Ensemble, and any other performance group-related recurring charges will be debited on or after the 1st of the month, in accordance with each respective group's agreements. Performance and Competition Fees will be due and payable as incurred by the studio. All efforts will be made to inform members of upcoming charges as soon as they are known.

MAKE-UP CLASSES

Make-up Classes are available for currently enrolled students whose tuition and other studio payments are current. Make-ups must be taken within 4 weeks of class(es) missed, in a class other than the class missed. Make-ups must be scheduled through the front desk and are subject to space availability. At no point may a student take more make-ups classes per week than the number of classes for which they are enrolled. Make-ups are forfeited upon withdrawal or suspension of enrollment. No refunds will be given if your dancer cannot attend any make-up classes.

REFUNDS

THERE ARE NO REFUNDS, TRANSFERS, CREDITS OR EXTENSIONS given for classes missed, except in the case of injury or prolonged illness (doctor’s note required).

DROP PROCEDURE

For any desired drops or withdrawals, please notify the Front Desk IN WRITING prior to the 23rd of the preceding month. If notice is given VIA EMAIL, please make sure that you receive confirmation that your request has been processed. Families are responsible for all enrolled class fees regardless of attendance. Families wishing to withdraw temporarily and return during the same academic year may be subject to a Re-Enrollment Fee of $40.

PARENTS’ RESPONSIBILITY

It is the responsibility of the parent or adult student to be aware of the school activities such as recitals and dates the school is open and closed. The school will post notices online and through the email mailing list.
