If my child misses a class/classes, are there make-up classes?
There are no make-up classes and tuition is NOT pro-rated for missed classes.

What should my child wear to class?
Students in show choir and hip hop classes MUST wear sneakers or dance shoes…NO flip flops or bare feet, please. This is for your children’s safety. They should wear comfortable clothing. Art students should wear play clothes that can get messy.

My child wants to be in the same class with a friend that is older…is this possible?
Generally this is not allowed. We have spent 20 years refining the age group and level of difficultly for each class. It is very difficult to integrate a younger student into an older class without impairing the level of that class….even if the
student is “gifted.”

My child will not be able to perform in the end of semester concert…is this a problem?
YES! The children are often paired or grouped in different musical numbers. If a child is not going to be in the performance it ruins choreography and leaves other students without partners. Please check the dates of the concerts before you enroll for the semester.

What if my child has to miss more than the 3 allowed rehearsals a semester due to sports
or other conflicts?
We are always willing to work around sports… to a point. We ask that you try to make at least part of every rehearsal. If it becomes evident that your child is missing more than 1 rehearsal a month, it may be necessary for them to sit out of some of the numbers during the concert. This decision will be made based on how well the child is making up the missed material and how their absence impacts the rest of the group.

Are parents allowed to observe class?
Parents are allowed to observe their child’s first day of class ONLY. After that we ask that parents not sit in as it makes it difficult for the children to concentrate. The Hip Hop classroom is very small so we ask that parents NOT bring siblings into that class if they plan to observe the first day.

What are the recital fees for?
Recital fees are charged to cover performance expenses such as: rental of space, musicians, props, insurances, lighting and sound special needs, instrument rental and additional technical staff.

If my child drops out during the semester will
recital fees and costume fees be refunded?
No refunds will be made after the first 30 days
of the semester.
