Please read and initial below, indicating that you understand and agree to the following:

(initials here)  Tuition: The cost of lessons is based on a full season schedule.  You can choose to pay a full session and receive a 5% discount or have your account debited monthly. To start there is a $25.00 registration fee per student or $40 per family which will need to be renewed every September. Tuition is debited between the 1st and the 7th (your choice of day) of every month.  Subsequently, there will be a $20 charge for non sufficient funds or your credit card not being up to date.  You are responsible to update the office with updated account information.  Your account must be current in order for the student to participate in classes, concerts, performances, conventions and competitions.  If a cancellation of a class or classes is to occur, a 30-day written notice prior to the 1st of next month is required.  If the notice is not given 30 days prior to the next due date the account will be drafted and there will be no refunds granted.  The notice has to be in person by filling out and signing the class change form in the office.  Outstanding balances, if any, need to be paid at that time.  Remember that there will be absolutely no refunds given for classes unattended.  Excused absences can be made up.

(initials here)  Attendance: Attendance plays a vital part in how well you or your child will progress in dancing.  As a child it can be frustrating to fall behind and frustrating to the rest of their classmates if there are excessive absences.  Please make every effort to be in class and to notify the studio by telephone if a student must miss a class. You may arrange a make-up class at that time.  Make-ups should be made within two weeks of the missed class.  Students do not need to make up missed classes for holidays because they are already accounted for in the fifth lesson of some months.  If you are investing your time, energy and money into quality dance education, please give it your full attention. Credit is not given for absences.

(initials here)   Class Changes: If a student finds it necessary to drop a class, please notify the front desk to fill out the change form. If a student needs to withdraw from all classes, a withdrawal form must be completed, as tuition will continue to accumulate until the Withdrawal Form has been completed and signed.  A 30 day notice is required for the payment changes to become effective on the 1st of the following month.

(initials here)   Dress Attire: We do enforce a DRESS CODE.  To “look like a dancer” encourages one to conduct oneself  like a dancer. Students not dressed according to the dress code will not be permitted to take class. Please check the dress code(s) for your dancer’s class (es). Ballet classes must wear the color leotard specific to their class level. Please ask your instructor or front desk as to what color you are to wear. Our dress code is also posted in the office and on our website to refer to.  There will be no gum chewing, eating, or drinking in the dance studio.  Water is allowed to be kept in the students break room only.  No jewelry is to be worn for safety reasons and we will not be responsible for damage or loss.  Hair must be secured away from the face and neck for all classes.  Buns must be worn in ballet classes.  Please label all of your dance items with student's name.

(initials here)  Check In: All students must check in and out.  A key tag will be given to every parent of each student to swipe the scanner each  time they bring student to class.  With parent  approval,  if your child is of at least 12 yrs of age they can be responsible for  their own key tag and for giving their parents updated information given in the office.  If  lost or stolen it is a $10.00 fee to replace your key tag. 

 (initials here) Students are expected to have their own accident and medical insurance either under their parent's coverage or their own.  All instructors of Dance Matrix are safety conscious and follow appropriate safety procedures.  Dance Matrix will be held harmless from liability or claims resulting from your child's participation in the studio dance training program.
 
(initials here)  Patience and understanding are essential because all children learn at a different pace.  Please do not compare your child’s progress to any other.  If you have any reasons for concern about your child or their instructor/s please set up an appointment with the front desk for a private conference. You will receive our attention, respect, and gratitude.  If an instructor has any concerns in regard to your child's progress, you will be contacted.

(initials here)  Arriving/Departing: All students are requested to arrive 5 minutes early for their lesson.  Be sure to use the restroom, put       proper shoes on, hair tied up, etc.  While on the premises of the studio, students and siblings should conduct themselves in an orderly fashion.  Please be courteous to fellow parents in the waiting area.  If you have other children please keep them seated.  We have a student lounge  room for our student’s convenience.  Students are to remain inside until picked up by a parent.  Parental permission must be on file for students them go to other areas in the plaza.  The studio and office are not play areas, please use the lounge for quiet activities.  Parents will be held responsible for fixing or replacing any vandalism of the Dance Studio property.
