Policies
REGISTRATION :
Classes start on September 6th. There is a $10.00 non-refundable registration fee per dancer for the season. Every student, new and returning, will need to pay this fee. In order for your child to start classes this fee must be paid.
PANDEMIC POLICY :
If your child has Covid please let the studio know! Keep them home until they are well and able to come back to the studio. If the State of Connecticut mandates us to wear masks, we must do so to keep the studio open. As of right now, mask are not required at the studio! If the State of Connecticut requires a shutdown, we will take one week to prepare for online zoom classes. Dancers are encouraged to continue with the classes online until the State of Connecticut allows us to reopen the studio. Tuition will remain the same because teachers and other business overhead costs are still expected to be paid regardless. In order for the studio to be a place where your children can come back to, we expect all tuition to continue to be paid.
OTHER INFORMATION :
