Studio Rules and Policies REGISTRATION FEE: The registration fee is $30.00 per child for the first student in a family and $20.00 for each additional student. The registration fee is non-refundable unless ADC cannot find a class or time that will meet your needs.
MONTHLY TUITION & FEES: Monthly tuition is based on a 9 and a half month dance semester, with approximately four classes per month. For your convenience, tuition is payable monthly with prices listed below. There is no extra charge for months with five lessons nor is there a reduction or refund for any classes missed or months with holidays. Tuition is due the first of every month. If the studio is closed or your dancer misses class, tuition is still due on the first of the month. There is a mail slot by the door for your convenience. Statements will not be printed unless an account is past due. THERE IS A $15.00 LATE FEE FOR PAYING AFTER THE 5TH OF EACH MONTH, and prices are as follows.
AFTER 5 CLASSES A WEEK CLASSES ARE UNLIMITED FOR THE SAME PRICE

IMPORTANT DATES & FEES:
YEAR END SPRING CONCERT: Spring Concert 2010 will be at the end of the school year, tentatively May 21, 22. There is a $50.00 non-refundable concert fee due on January 1st. This fee is separate from Costume Fees. This fee covers the cost of the auditorium, technicians, and other costs. There is a professional videographer at each showcase for your convenience.
COSTUMES: Students who participate in the Spring Concert, will be required to purchase one costume per class. The studio will order costumes late December and early January. Cost if each costume deposit is $50.00 for child sizes and $65.00 for adult sizes. Once a costume has been ordered, there is no refund or cancellation. When you pay for a costume, you make a commitment to the teacher and the other students in class to participate in the showcase. Choreography will be geared to the number of students who buy costumes. It places a burden on the class & teacher when someone drops in April or May. No costume will be ordered until your fee is paid in full. Depending upon the costume design, you may be required to purchase additional accessories such as tights, bows, or other accessories. No costumes can go home without the signature of a responsible adult. Accounts must be current before costumes are released to take home.
STUDENT WITHDRAWALS: You are responsible for payment of monthly tuition until you notify ADC of your intent to withdraw from a class. Charges will continue until we receive notification of drop.
CANCELING CLASSES: We reserve the right to cancel any class at any time due to insufficient enrollment for that particular time. If this occurs, a new class time will be arranged for you.
ATTENDANCE: Students should be dropped off and picked up within 10 minutes of their class time. Students need to attend all classes unless there is an illness or family emergency, as absences affect the class as a whole. Weekly reinforcement of dance technique is imperative to keep the student advancing with the remainder of the class. Poor attendance hampers the student’s dance education. Make-up lessons can be taken within the paid calendar month in a comparable level class, with office approval. Parents & students are responsible for contacting the studio office to find out any information they may have missed during an absence. No make-up lessons are given at the end of the dance season as performance preparations are in process.
DRESS ATTIRE: Hair must be pulled up out of the face and held securely for ALL classes. A dress code is an important part of the discipline instilled in a young dancer. Cover-ups need to be worn at all times outside the studio. Please use discretion with clothing – no jeans and no shorts that do not cover well during movement. Drinks, snacks and gum are not allowed in the studio.
DROP OFF/ PICK UP: Older dancers may be dropped off and picked up in front of the studio. Younger dancers need to be picked up inside the studio. Please instruct your dancer of any age to stay inside the studio unless they are with a responsible adult.
HOLIDAY CLOSINGS: We will close for Labor Day, Memorial Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Spring Break, and Easter and in conjunction with the Tyler ISD holidays. We remain open during many TISD closings and in-service days. Please check with the studio office when in doubt, or check the website. Closing dates will be posted on the door as they occur.
PERSONAL PROPERTY: Be sure to label your dancewear and bags so we can return them to you if left at the studio. We are not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged articles of clothing, jewelry, or other personal property. Please check the lost and found, as it will be cleaned out monthly.
COMMUNICATION: Students will receive periodic newsletters. If we have your email on file, we can email the newsletter to you for your convenience. We also ask each parent or guardian to regularly check the studio bulletin board inside the building and the sandwich board on the front sidewalk. Our website is a great place to see “what’s happening” on a weekly basis. It is your responsibility to obtain information from the studio and be aware of information provided to your student through newsletters or notes we may send home from time to time. Be especially watchful for these things if your dancer shares rides or someone else picks up.
CLASS ETIQUETTE: Every student is expected to behave throughout the facility in a disciplined, responsible, and courteous manner. Excessive talking or unfriendly behavior is not conducive to a healthy learning environment. ADC reserves the right to suspend or dismiss any student whose attitude, attendance, or conduct is found unsatisfactory.
SIBLINGS: Please be advised that the office staff is not able to watch siblings. We make every effort to watch between classes to make sure that children are received and picked up safely, but we cannot watch continuously. Please be responsible for your dancer and their siblings before, during and after classes.
SPECIAL PERFORMANCES: The companies at ADC will be performing all year. Please check with the office to get a list of performances. All other classes will have a parent visitation day and holiday party the week before the Christmas break to show what skills they have learned in the first part of the year. Please watch your e-mails in newsletters for more information on these events.
