Registration Policies

Registration and Fees • Policies

*Registration:  All students must pay an enrollment fee: $25.00 per student.

Before any student may participate in class, we must have a signed registration agreement accompanied by the registration fee and first month's class fee.  For your protection, please notify the office in writing before the 1st day of the next month of any changes in registration status.

*Tuition:  Tuition is a monthly fee, regardless if it is a “long” month or a “short” month.  Tuition is due the 1st class of each month.  A late fee of $5.00 will be automatically charged to the account if the payment is not received in full by the 15th of the month.  Payment envelopes are available at the office, there is a payment box on the front counter, and a mail slot next to the door of “The Dancer’s Edge” retail shop.  There is a returned check fee of $20.00.  Accounts 60 days or more past due will be charged interest at the rate of 18% (1½%/month).

*Refunds: There are no refunds or credits for classes in which the student is enrolled, but fails to attend.

*Missed Classes:  Students are encouraged to make up missed classes.  Missed classes may be made up within the same month as the missed class, or the month following the missed class.  Make up classes are to be scheduled through the office.  Missed classes are not pro-rated.  Make up classes cannot be substituted for tuition payments.

*Attire: Leotard & tights and the appropriate dance shoes are required for all ballet, jazz, lyrical & tap classes. Ballet IV-V, intermediate, and advanced level ballet classes, including pointe and ballet ensemble are required to wear black leotard and pink tights. All competition classes, including DWC, are required to wear black leotard and tan tights. Hip hop students must wear jazz shoes or jazz sneakers and are permitted to wear shorts and T-shirts, but NO JEANS.

*Hair: Hair must be pulled back and secured off the face and neck. All ballet classes require a bun.

*Observation of classes: In order for your dancer to maintain concentration and focus, Dance Works has a "no observation" policy. Thank you for your cooperation.

*Parking: Additional parking is available in the lot behind the studio.  For your safety and others, please enter & exit Dance Works from Sparn Street, rather than North Avenue.  Please observe the "NO PARKING" signs. 29 Road and Sparn Street are currently underconstructio.  Please use extra caution.

*Costume Fees: From $39.95 plus tax.

*Work Scholarships: There are a limited number of work scholarships available. Ask Miss Kathryn for further details.
