Studio Policies

Classroom Behavior & Attire 

At Ovations Academy of Dance we aim for all of our students to have an enjoyable and educational dance experience. Children will be treated with courtesy and respect, so we expect our students to show the same attitude toward their teachers and their classmates.  Only water is permitted in the studio and waters are available for purchase at the front desk for $1.00.  Water breaks are permitted by the instructor and during shoe changes.

Please be mindful that our bathroom is located in the back of the studio. Therefore, we ask that all non-students try and refrain from interrupting class unnecessarily. 

All students should be in the proper dance attire every class! Leotards are required and tights, shorts and skirts are optional. Absolutely no baggy clothing. It prevents teachers from seeing the ability of the student.

Attendance 

  • There are no refunds on classes missed.
  • Any student who misses more than 5 classes in one dance season (September- May) may be asked to resign. Dance is a team sport, when one player is out it can negatively impact the entire group.
  • There will be make-up classes scheduled to accommodate weather-related cancellations.  
  • Please notify the front desk if your child will be absent so we can notify the teaching staff.

Tuition 

Tuition payments are due promptly at the beginning of every month.  A late fee of $5.00 will be applied following the 15th of the month. Payment may be made by cash or major credit card (fees may apply) at the studio front desk.  We do not offer make-up classes for holidays since your annual rate does not include holidays. Recital costumes not paid in full by December 10th will not be ordered.  Fundraising opportunity is available for those interested.  Please follow communications in the studio for opportunities.
