Studio Policies

A non-refundable fee of $30 per family is required yearly at time of registration. $15 of this fee is credited to tuition if student is pre-registered by recital of the previous year. The registration fee is waived if the year's tuition is paid full by the same date.

When signing up for dance, you are signing up for classes from September through May. Payment for these classes is for the year in advance or in monthly installments. Payment shall be made by bank draft, credit or debit card, check or cash. Monthly payments are due the first of each month, September through May. All forms of payment can be taken at the dance office. Online payments can be made by bank draft, credit or debit card. Tuition is pro-rated if dancer is starting after the first week of the dance year. Registration closes January 15th. The month of September is non-refundable. Each month after that is non-refundable if withdrawal does not happen prior to the first class of the month. All tuition not paid by the 10th day after posting is subject to $20 late fee.

All class additions and level changes need to be approved by the office. If your child's teacher recommends a different level, they will let you and the office know. You can add the class by going online or affirming the change with the office.

It is the responsibility of the parent or adult student to be aware of all school activities such as performances, rehearsals, holidays and snow days. The school will post notices, as well as, sending notices via social media, email, and BAND app. It is the responsibility of the parent to inform the school of any address, telephone or e-mail changes.

To ensure the health and safety of all our dancers, families, and staff, we kindly ask that children do not attend dance classes if they are experiencing any symptoms of an infectious condition. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Head lice
• Fevers
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• Contagious rashes
• Flu-like symptoms
• Any illness that may be easily transmitted to others

Children must be symptom-free and, when applicable, cleared by a healthcare provider before returning to class.

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding in helping us maintain a healthy environment for everyone.

Care of Students: It is the responsibility of the parent to make sure their child arrives safely in the building and is picked up promptly after class. The school is responsible for a student only when she/he is in class. Parents with students under the age of five are to remain in the school during their child's class. Parents are welcome to observe class through windowed doors. In studio observation is ONLY allowed with clearance by teacher. For safety concerns, observers are NOT allowed in the stairwell or to observe classes for more than 10 minutes. Parents of young children are welcome to stay in studio room until their child feels comfortable. Hydration is important. Water in a spill-proof bottle is recommended. No food or drink in the studios. Teachers are allowed to eat in the studio, as most teach for more than three hours at a time.

In registering my child for dance classes, I recognize there are risks of injury to my child because of the very nature of the classes themselves. On behalf of my child, I assume all risks associated with any of these classes. I agree to protect and save harmless Allegro Dance Arts, its employees, and instructors from any loss, damage, or expenses as to all claims of liability whatsoever on the part of Allegro Dance Arts, its employees, and instructors.

I grant the school permission to take photographs and video of my daughter/son to use in brochures, web sites, posters, advertisements and other promotional materials the school creates.
