Overdue accounts

• It is the parents’ responsibility to keep the credit card information up-to-date. If there is an issue with the credit card on file we will attempt to contact you, but a late fee of $15.00 will incur if we are unable to process your card by the 7th day of the beginning of each session.
• There is a returned check fee of $30 per occurrence.
• Please note: students with overdue account balances will not be admitted to class or allowed to participate in any other School activities. 

• Join your live ZOOM class: The ZOOM link for each class you are enrolled in is sent to you via email. If you do not see an email, please look in your spam or promotions folders and double check your class schedule. If you are still unable to locate the class link, have questions or need help, please text/call your teacher for further assistance. Your teacher’s phone number will be provided in you enrollment confirmation email.
• Please ensure that the email address and name on your registration form is accurate. This information will be used to let you into the class from the Zoom waiting room. This is a security feature to prevent those from entering the class without authorized access.
• Please log into Zoom 5 minutes early.
• What to wear: We encourage you to wear your typical dance clothes to maintain some normalcy during this time. But you’re welcome to wear anything that you would feel comfortable dancing in. Put on appropriate footwear (sneakers, socks, ballet slippers, jazz shoes or bare feet). You might have to adjust based on the flooring you are dancing on.
• Make room: All classes have been modified to accommodate a smaller space than the traditional dance studio, so clear a spot in your home big enough to give you space to move around. You can even consider moving outdoors if your technology and weather allow for this. Your teachers will be teaching in their homes as well, so it’ll be a learning process for everyone.
• Ballet classes: Find something to use as a barre, such as a wall, counter, or chair. If you wish to purchase a portable barre, one of our recommendations is Vita Vibe. You can do ballet on carpet or hardwood/laminate, just make sure you won’t kick anything.

Please check back soon for updated information.

Late registration
Students may enter the program at any time during the season. For those registering after the start of any given session, tuition for that session will be prorated on a per-class basis.

Cancellation/Withdrawal
You can cancel or pause your enrollment at any point in the season, and we do not charge any withdrawal fees. Please just provide us with written notice by e-mail before the start of a new session. Bear in mind, once you begin a session, tuition paid for that session is not refundable unless the withdrawal is due to serious, documented illness or injury.

Missed classes
No transfers, credits or cash refunds will be given for missed classes. Students who missed classes are still obligated to pay the full tuition for that session.

Insufficient class enrollment
The school reserves the right to cancel a scheduled class before the start of a new session because of insufficient enrollment. Substitute teachers 
The school reserves the right to provide a substitute teacher if the regularly scheduled teacher is ill or otherwise unable to teach classes. If a teacher is ill and the school cannot arrange a substitute, any missed classes will be made up.

Dance dress code

We strive to maintain a professional atmosphere for our students; therefore our dress code will be enforced at all levels in all classes. Failure to wear required dancewear to class could result in students being asked to sit out the class. Repeated failure to wear required dancewear could result in termination of lessons. Students are not permitted to wear jeans or shoes worn on the street or outdoors, to any dance class. For safety reasons dancers are not permitted to wear jewelry. Long hair must be tied back. Please check a list of requirements on our Class Attire page of our web-site.

Communication policy
It is the responsibility of the parent or adult student to be aware of all School news, activities, calendar dates, performance and other important information. The School will post all such notices on our website and emails sent out. It is the parent’s responsibility to regularly check emails for the updates to ensure they are informed. IMPORTANT: We are paperless, so email is the primary source of communication to Studio families. Please add   contact@premierdance.org to your address book in order to help ensure you receive these messages.


Liability

Parents, legal guardians of minor students and adult students waive the right to any legal action for any injury sustained on School property resulting from normal dance activity or any other activity conducted by the students before, during or after class time and performances.
