About Dance Alliance

Policies

These policies are to provide you and your child with maximum safety and enjoyment and to keep our studio operating smoothly. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Before and After Classes:

  1. The teacher's responsibility for students is only during class time and in the studio area.
  2. It is the parent's responsibility to see that children are delivered and picked up just prior to and immediately following their designated class time.

In Class:

  • Students are to stand in the designated area while waiting for the class in session to finish. PLEASE-NO TALKING IN THE STUDIO DURING CLASSES!
  • Parents are responsible for siblings' proper behavior. Please supervise your children. Please do not allow children to put their hands and faces all over the observation windows.
  • The proper footwear is very important to insure the student's safety and optimum performance. For proper shoe types and color, see shoe guide. This will be sent in August with your fall class schedule confirmation.
  • Dancers should wear a leotard and tights for all classes. Boys: T-shirt, jazz pants & black shoes. It is imperative that the teacher can see the dancer's body. No baggy shirts, pants, shorts, or dresses for any class.
  • Hair should be properly fastened off of the neck and out of the eyes.

Attendance:

  • We understand that dancers will be absent from time to time due to illness, family emergency, vacation, school functions etc. When possible, as a courtesy to your instructor(s), so that he/she may properly plan for class(es), please call 734.429.9599 to keep us informed of your absences.
  • In the event that a dancer/student misses consecutive weeks of dance class without any notification and/or explanation, the instructor(s) and/or the studio directors reserve the right to permanently remove the dancer/student from the class(es). If this occurs, there will be absolutely no refunds of any kind such as tuition, costume deposits, balances and rental fees, recital tickets, etc.

Make-ups:

  • When a dancer misses a class, a make-up may be made up during the semester that the class was missed. A student may take a class of equal level to his/her class as a make-up.
  • Classes canceled by instructors due to unexpected illness will be made up during the semester.
  • If the Saline Public Schools are closed due to inclement weather, Dance Alliance will also be closed. Please call 734.429.9599 if you are unsure whether or not classes are in session. We are not responsible for cancellations due to weather. Make-up classes are available.

Payment Policy:

  • Payment may be made by cash, check, or Visa/Master Card (minimum $20).
  • Any NSF check will be charged a service fee of $25, payable by cash or certified check.
  • A late fee of $15 per month will be added to your unpaid account balance beginning October 1st unless you have a payment plan approved by management.
  • If you have a payment plan approved by management, there will be a $5 administration fee per installment/payment. Example: $300.00 in tuition to be paid in 3 installments would have an additional $15 in administration fees.

Refund Policy:

  • Tuition payment is due before the first day of class for each term. No refunds will be given after the second class meeting. For each class that was taken, a $15 single class fee will be deducted from the amount refunded. Additionally, a $5 administration fee will also be deducted from the refunded amount.

Food, Drink Smoking & Pets:
