Yes, we encourage children to try class before signing up. We even have some used shoes that we keep on hand for children that want to try class (sizes vary). The only thing you have to do to try class is fill out the contact information online so we can follow-up and see how your dancer liked class.

You are not obligated by a contract and can choose to drop your child from class at any time. We do require a drop form be completed the month prior to dropping which can be returned at the studio or via email.

There is a dress code for dance class and it is as follows:

• Tap/Ballet Combo Classes -a leotard and tights (skirt is optional). It can be any color. Tap and Ballet shoes. Tap shoe ribbons, if any, will have to be replaced with tap ties.

• Ballet Classes - pink or black tights and leotard. A ballet skirt is permitted. Hair must be pulled up out of the face.
  Jazz class - leotard and jazz pants or shorts. Shoes: tan jazz (lace up or slip on)

• Tap Classes - shirt and pants/shorts that easy to move in. Shoes: tap (lace up or slip on)

• Hip Hop Classes - Athletic wear that allows freedom of movement (sweats, dance capri pants, etc.) Short-sleeved shirts or tank tops are recommended. Shoes: converse or light-weight shoes used only for dance.

Tuition is based on the total of 35 classes per year and then divided into 9 monthly payments. Money is not refunded for missed lessons for any reason. We do oer a 10% discount if you pay a full semester at one time.

Students can make up a missed class if there is a similar class oered. You have a month to make up the class; please speak with the teacher or oce about making up the class so that we know when your child is making up a class and we can expect them.

You do not have to stay at the studio during your child's class; it is your preference as to whether you want to stay. Typically, most 3-4 year old parents stay but each parent is dierent so again it is your choice.

We send out a monthly newsletter via email. It is very important that we have your email on file (online registration) and it is one that you check regularly so that you are aware of what is happening with classes and recital events. We also strongly encourage parents to download Dance Studio Pro app for updates and news!

Tuition is due the 5th of each month. We accept cash, checks, and credit cards. All checks should be made payable to Dance Elements. The credit card on file will be charged on the 3rd of the month if we have not received payment by cash or check. If you do not have a working credit card on file a $25.00 late fee will be added to your account and a past due invoice will be emailed to you. There is a $25.00 charge on all returned checks. If your account falls behind more than 2 months, you will be asked to pay your balance or a dancer's enrollment may be canceled.

We encourage you to keep a credit card on file that will be used for monthly tuition payments and recital related costs to avoid late fees.

You can find our studio policies on our website, your welcome packet you receive upon registration, and we will be glad to print out a copy at your request in the one.
