FOR PARENTS...

If you need to change your dancer's schedule or discontinue a class, please notify the office in advance.

Tuition and fees will continue to be charged until official notice is received by the office regarding any dropped classes.

Please note: Tuition is non-refundable for any dropped classes.

Consistent attendance is essential for progress and success in dance. Excessive absences may result in a student being moved to a lower class level or dropped from the class entirely.

• Guardians are responsible for notifying the studio office or the instructor directly regarding any absences.
• Any student who misses four (4) consecutive weeks of class will be automatically dropped to make room for dancers on a waiting list.
• For dancers participating in the Spring Showcase, more than three (3) absences between March 1st and the June Showcase may result in removal from the class piece.

• No photos or videos may be taken by observers or students during weekly classes without prior consent from the instructor and all individuals who may appear in the media.
• Class material may not be posted or shared on social media unless it has been officially shared by the studio.
• Photos and videos are allowed and encouraged during private lessons, dress rehearsals, performances, community events, and designated Parent Watch Weeks.
• For keepsake moments (e.g., a dancer's first class), please speak with the instructor before class to receive permission.
• Older dancers wishing to record class material after class must obtain the instructor's approval.

INJURY:

If you are injured, we still encourage you to attend class and observe. In many cases, class material can be safely modified to accommodate injuries, and continued observation supports ongoing learning and connection with choreography.

ILLNESS:

For the health and safety of all dancers, staff, and families, please do not come to the studio if you or a family member have any of the following:

• Fever
• Vomiting
• Positive COVID-19 test
• Strep throat, flu, or pink eye
• Cold symptoms (sneezing, coughing) - please stay home or wear a mask if mild

Dancers who manage asthma or other non-contagious respiratory conditions should inform their instructor prior to class to ensure appropriate support and understanding.

Students are welcome to make up missed classes in any class of the same level or lower, based on availability.

• Make-up classes must be scheduled in advance through the office.
• Missed classes cannot be refunded or credited toward future tuition.
• All make-up classes must be completed by April 30th - no exceptions beyond this date.

To ensure a positive, respectful, and safe environment for all dancers and families, we kindly ask parents and visitors to follow these studio guidelines:

• Supervision: All young children must be supervised at all times. Running, yelling, or rough play is not permitted inside the studio.
• Respectful Conduct: Gossip, obscene language, or inappropriate conversations are not tolerated - from dancers, parents, or guests.
• Class Observation: Friends and family are welcome to observe, but must remain in the lobby or designated waiting areas outside of the studio room.

We recognize that, at times, mistakes may happen - and we truly appreciate when parents bring concerns to our attention. We kindly ask that you do so with discretion and respect.

For sensitive or private matters, please wait until classes are not in session and address your concerns directly with a Studio Director. If the issue involves other parents or children, we ask that you do not address it at the studio. Instead, please seek a resolution privately or schedule a meeting with the Director to discuss the matter appropriately.

Disruptive behavior, including angry dialogue, foul language, or physical threats, will not be tolerated under any circumstances. Any parent or student who displays such behavior may be asked to withdraw from classes at Loveland Dance Academy and The Conservatory Dance Studio.

These policies are in place to ensure the safety, comfort, and respect of all dancers, families, and staff members.

• A $25 annual registration fee per dancer (or $50 maximum per family) is due at the time of registration.
• Monthly tuition covers four weeks of classes.
• Holidays and studio closures are not included in the four-week tuition cycle - please refer to the studio payment schedule for specific dates.
• Tuition is due on the 1st of each month. However, families enrolled in AutoPay may choose to have their payment processed on either the 1st or the 15th of each month.
• All registered students and their families will receive the late payment policy and are required to agree to it as part of their enrollment.
• No invoices or statements (paper or electronic) will be sent.
• Monthly tuition payments are non-refundable. While you are not financially obligated for the entire year, once paid, tuition cannot be refunded.

We appreciate your attention to timely payments and your understanding as we work to maintain fairness for all studio families.
