POLICIES

ATTENDANCE
Please notify us if a student will not be in class: call 248.380.1666, or e-mail us at csdc5678@sbcglobal.net.
Students are expected to attend classes regularly. Excessive absences are grounds for elimination from the class and any related performances including June Recitals. Individual instructors will determine if private tutoring
(see Specialty Class Rates) is warranted.

NOTE ABOUT COMPANY LEVEL CLASS

Company Level classes require consistent attendance and a high level of commitment both personally and to your classmates. Excessive absenteeism is not allowed for any reason within the control of the dancer, i.e., conflicting
membership on another team (sports, musicals, etc.). Individual instructors will determine if a student, and his/
her classmates, will benefit from private tutoring (see fee schedule) in the event of a situation out of the control
of the dancer, i.e. health or family issues, that affects the dancer’s ability to come to or participate regularly in class.
Your acceptance of this class placement constitutes your agreement to abide by these rules to maintain your standing
at this Company class level.

WEATHER CANCELLATIONS
Bad weather may cause class cancellations. Students should phone the studio one hour prior to their class time for information. We won’t necessarily follow public school closings. If weather conditions throughout the year cause more than 2 cancellations, make-up classes will be scheduled by the instructor.

DRESS CODE
Leotards, tights, dance shorts or a ballet skirt are considered appropriate attire for all ballet, jazz, tap, hip-hop and lyrical classes.  Proper shoes are mandatory. Students improperly attired will not be allowed to participate. For more information regarding our dress code, click here Dress Code. Contact the office if you have any questions.

PARKING
Our allotted spaces are in the rear of the building. Please enter through the Studio Entrance at the back of the building.  PLEASE DO NOT BLOCK THE SIDEWALK IN FRONT OF THE STUDIO WHEN DROPPING OFF DANCERS- PLEASE PULL INTO A PARKING SPACE OR DRIVE TO THE REAR ENTRANCE AND DROP OFF THERE.

CLASS VISITATIONS

Parents may visit the last class of each month. The length of the visit shall be determined by the instructor.

TUITION AND COSTUME FEES
All tuition and costume payments are due at registration. For Administrative efficiency, no exceptions will be made. Students may not begin classes until all tuition and costume payment arrangements have been finalized. See Tuition and Fees section above.

RECITAL TICKETS
For tickets purchased on Ticket Day, seat selection will be on a first come/first serve basis. If a client has no preferences for seats, they may turn in their ticket request form prior to Ticket Day, and still receive the advanced purchase price.
