Class Procedures

Please have your child arrive five minutes prior to class start time, dressed in the proper attire, shoes and hairstyle (ballet).  Proper technical warm-ups are done at the beginning of class and are vital to preventing injuries.

​

Attire

Ballet: for any dancers taking ballet or a ballet combo class, you must wear the solid color leotard assigned to your level, solid color tights and pink ballet shoes.  Hair must be worn back and out of face.

For all other dance classes; dancers wear comfortable clothes or dance wear that will allow them to move, but is not too baggy that the instructor cannot see proper body movement.  Bare feet are acceptable for modern and lyrical.  Jazz and tap shoes required for jazz and tap classes.

​

Class Cancellation

Premiere Academy of Dance reserves the right to combine classed, change times, provide substitute teachers or replacement teachers, and cancel or combine any class with 5 or less students.  Classes may also be added on a different day due to the class filling up and not having the proper ratio of students to teachers.  These decisions will be made by the director.

​

Before/After Class

Dancers are not to arrive any earlier than 15min prior to class.  When on class ends, another starts; teachers are not responsible for watching students once class has dismissed.  Please instruct your child to wait inside the lobby for their rides and to inform their teacher if their ride is late.  Students are NOT permitted to wait outside for rides.

​

Absences

You may make-up missed classes in another class that fit the dancer’s age and skill level.  Missed classes are not refundable.  Tuition is still due to hold the spot for your child.  There are no refunds if you drop a class (es) in the middle of the month, choose other activities over dance class, or simply skip class.  We request that a parent call or email the studio to inform the teacher and staff of any absences, illness, or problem a student might be having.  If your child has a contagious illness or is injured please keep them out of class until they are recovered and can participate fully without risk of relapse or re-injury.  In the case of serious injury, that would require students to miss a month or more of class, tuition might be waived (this is determined by the Premiere Academy of Dance staff on a case-by-case basis).

​

Dropping/Adding Classes

If a student would like to add a class after they are already enrolled, they are welcome to do a free trial class.  At which time they must inform the instructor that they are trying the class.  After the free trial, if you’d like to add the class to your schedule you MUST inform the director.  Any extra tuition associated with the class will be due upon the addition of the class to their schedule, but will be prorated if it is in the middle of the month.

​

Since Dance fees are charged on a month to month basis you may drop out of the class at any time.  If you have paid a month’s fee and drop during the beginning or middle of the month you will not receive a refund.  You may however, finish the rest of the month and drop at the end of that particular month.  If you drop classes in the middle of the month and have not paid for that particular month you will be billed at your normal monthly rate for the entire month.  To ensure that you do not get billed after you have dropped a class, please make sure to come in and fill out a Drop/Add form (or mail a letter) so that we may remove you from that class list and our billing records.  Remember, until a drop/add form (or letter) is completed, signed and dated, we are still saving your child a space in the class and will bill you accordingly.
