Tuition payments are not refundable and are not discounted for missed classes, holidays or classes cancelled due to inclement weather.

If at anytime I become late with payment my child s position in class is in jeopardy. I understand that there are no refunds for unused tuition or recital, costume/shoe deposits.

A student may participate in advertisement sales for recital in lieu of paying a $30 recital fee. You will receive 2 complimentary tickets to the recital. I understand that videos of the recital will be for sale and I am not obligated to purchase a video but can order one. Prospective students are invited to take one class on a trial basis for which they will not be charged if they decide not to continue to take classes at the studio. If the student decides to enroll in a class, the trial session will count as the first class. Photos will be made in the spring. I am not obligated to purchase any photos, but am asked to be present for group photo. If you need to speak with a teacher, please leave a number where you can be reached during the day, and the teacher will call you as soon as possible. Time taken between classes delays the start of the next class and affects every class for the remainder of the day. Palmetto Dance Center reserves the right to terminate the dance instruction of any student at any time, with or without cause. Palmetto Dance Center does not give refunds. Please check the Calendar of events for scheduled studio closings. The Studio generally follows the schedule for this district. We will not close for teacher workdays.

If classes must be canceled, this is for your protection. Palmetto Dance Center is not and shall not be responsible for injuries received by any student while attending class or to any person while on the premises of Palmetto Dance Center. Palmetto Dance Center shall be responsible for the well being of the students only while they are participating in their scheduled classes. Parents of small children are required to be at the premises when their child s class ends for the purposes of picking up their child. Palmetto Dance Center specifically is not responsible for dance students who choose not to attend class after being dropped off at Palmetto Dance Center, or who choose to leave the studio premises during or following their class.

Please write name inside of dance shoes. Please carry a dance bag with your name on it for your dance shoes. Dance Shoes are worn only inside. Wear appropriate shoes for your class. Encourage your child to wear street shoes to and from class. Please see that your child is dressed in appropriate dancewear. NO JEANS ALLOWED! Pull hair away from face. No Food or Chewing gum allowed. If your child is in class for more than 45 minutes, please bring a water bottle. Come prepared to sweat. Good attendance is imperative as absences and tardiness can hold back an entire class. Classes progress very quickly and when a student misses several classes it is very difficult for her to stay at the same level as her classmates. If 2 classes in a row are missed for any reason we request that you schedule a private session with your instructor to get caught up. Privates are $25 for 30 minutes. $50 per hour. Students are asked to be ready with their dance shoes on when the teacher asks them to enter the classroom. Disruptive students will be asked to leave the classroom. Poor behavior from a student or parent can result in dismissal from the class and the studio. Parents, Please see that young children go to the restroom BEFORE coming to class.
