Happy New Year!

2025 has arrived and I hope your Holiday Season was a great one! Now that the holidays are over we begin preparing for our second half of the year. As a reminder, WE WILL BE OPEN ON MONDAY, JANAUARY 20TH, MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY.

Costume Deposits – IMPORTANT

Costume deposits were due last month in case you missed it. We had no snow days but lots of illness in the studio which may have caused you to miss this important deadline. If you plan to participate in the year end performance, you will need to make sure your deposit is to the office by next week. We will be measuring students for costumes this month. A non-refundable costume deposit is due toensure a costume order is placed for your student.

Tuition

Tuition is due each month by the first class of the month. Any payments received after the 15th of the month receive a 10% late charge on any unpaid balances. You may pay your account by Cash, Credit or Check.


Please note: Credit cards will be charged an additional 3%. Please call the office at any time if you are unsure of your balance and we will be happy to go over the account with you. If you wish to change or withdraw from any class without notification, you will be responsible for all balances due through the end of the month you make the change or withdraw. The payments are averaged over the 10 month calendar year, taking into account a 3 to 5 week month and including rehearsal week. When registering for the dance season you are registered for classes from September till June.


In our continued efforts to keep the lobby less congested you may sign up for the convenience of auto pay or call the studio to pay with a credit card over the phone. Our staff is always available during the evenings to assist you with payments after 5:00 pm Monday through Thursday and Saturday 9:00 am – 12:00 pm.

Those students wishing to participate in the year-end review will be asked to put down a $30 costume deposit.
Please complete the attached and return with payment by the due date.

Waiting Area / Parking Lot

Our waiting area is open for all family and friends waiting for dancers while in class. We ask that if you bring food in, you clean up your trash and put it in the trash receptacles before leaving. We also ask that you do not allow the children to practice, do acro tricks or run in the lobby. The floors can be wet and slippery this time of year. TV monitors are on for your convenience to view classes, however, they go out from time to time because of internet interruption or loss of power. We apologize for the inconvenience.

While driving in and out of our parking lot please use caution. PLEASE STOP AT THE STOP SIGN BEFORE DRIVING TO THE BACK OF THE PARKING LOT. Always drive slowly and watch for students between cars going into and exiting the building. Do not park or wait in front of the main entrance at any time. The flow of the parking lot is one way. Please park and when you see your student exit the building drive around for pick up or we advise walking to the door to assist them to your vehicle. It is imperative that we keep the flow of the parking lot moving. We appreciate your help and cooperation to keep the parking lot as safe as possible.

Thank you
