DanceSations will not pro-rate any fees for classes missed due to travel or illness.

Dance Attire

DanceSations does not require a uniform; however, all dancers are required to wear clothes that are comfortable and easy to move in. No Denim may be worn at any time. If taking ballet please avoid pants that aren’t spandex or lycra as correction may be difficult for instructors.

Footwear that is discipline-appropriate is required for all classes. Ballet shoes are required for pre-ballet, ballet/jazz I & II. No outside shoes are to be worn inside the studio at any time.

Hair must be pulled back out of face at all times unless otherwise specified by instructor. Jewelry must be taken off before entering the studio.

Attendance

It is important that all students must attend every class. DanceSations cannot accommodate students who miss class due to illness or otherwise. Please report all illnesses and absences before the start of class by phone or email. All students are responsible for learning missed choreography for any classes missed due to sickness or travel. Students must arrange this with the instructor. If a student misses more than two classes the instructor reserves the right to not let the student participate in the recital if student does not make effort to learn missed choreography.

In the event of inclement weather, please contact Holly Suarez.

Code of Conduct

Students are expected to behave appropriately in order to maintain a positive and effective dance environment. Students must be respectful of themselves and others and of the facility. A parent will be notified if student is consistently disruptive. Absolutely no gum chewing will be accepted at any time. Failure to meet these expectations may result in a student not being able to participate due to safety concerns.

Recital

All students are required to participate in the summer dance recital held at the end of the program. Students must attend rehearsal and extra rehearsals if specified by the instructor.

Costumes are required for the recital. Although we mostly use items that students already have, sometimes we require that the parents purchase an item/s in which costs will be kept at a minimum. Instructors will advise at the beginning of the program if any item/s will have to be purchased. Any items purchased by DanceSations must be returned at the end of the show.  Students will be billed for any items not returned.

Recital tickets will be sold on the first day of classes on a first come first serve basis. Refunds/ exchanges will not be made on any purchased tickets. If for any unforeseen circumstances the show must be postponed, such as weather, tickets will not be refunded but will be honored on the new date.

Liability

Parents will be responsible for any damages incurred by your child/children, including but not limited to the facilities, dance studio, and all fixings and fastenings within the space. In no event will Dancesations be held liable for any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental or punitive damages, including any subsequent claim due to damage, loss or injury, even if Dancesations has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Parents agree to indemnify and hold Dancesations, its operator, dance instructors, administrative persons and helpers in interest and affiliates, harmless from any demands, loss, liability, claims or expenses (including attorneys’ fees), made against Dancesations by any third party due to or arising out of or in connection with my child’s participation in the program.
