Tuition is due on the FIRST lesson of each month.

Tuition is based on a four week month from September through May.
Tuition will remain the same whether it is a five week month or a shortened month due to a holiday or snow day. Make-up classes will be offered.
There are NO DEDUCTIONS for missed classes regardless of reason.
There are no refunds, credits or transfers.

*A credit card must be on file for all accounts. Please note, the credit card on file will only be charged if tuition is not paid in full by the 15th of each month. For your convienience, we can automatically bill your credit card monthly for your tuition fees. 

A LATE FEE will be applied to accounts not paid in full by the 20th of each month.
There is a $25.00 charge for checks returned unpaid.


SNOW CLOSINGS:

The homepage will inform you if your class has been cancelled.

PARKING:

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE PARK OR DROP YOUR CHILD OFF AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE DRIVEWAY
Please park in the parking lot at the back of the building or in the lot in front of Studio C.
 Please use extreme caution when exiting the driveway.


STUDIO GUIDELINES:
~ In an effort to maintain a positive, family atmosphere, appropriate behavior will be expected from all students, parents and staff members.

~ Dancers, parents and siblings are not permitted in the studio without a teacher or faculty member present.

~ Students are asked to please use the restroom before coming to class. Please limit the use of our facilities for emergencies only.

~ Please respect the studio. No running or horseplay will be permitted in the waiting area.



ATTENDANCE:
Regular attendance is vital to learning!
Please plan to arrive on time for class. Arriving more than 15 minutes late places students at risk of injury due to improper warm-up. As a result, students more than 15 minutes late may be asked to observe the class rather than participate at the teachers discretion.

Missed classes may be made up, preferably within 8 weeks. If a student is absent for more than four consecutive weeks without notice, the student will be dropped from the class. A 14-day notice for dropping a class should be given by the student or parent to prevent inaccurate billing.


DRESS CODE:
Girls will be required to wear a leotard and tights under shorts or jazz pants. Boys will be required to wear a shirt and jazz pants. Appropriate dance shoes are required for every class. NO T-SHIRTS or SWEATSHIRTS. Students who are enrolled in a straight hour of ballet are required to wear a black leotard, pink tights and pink ballet shoes.
Hair must be pulled away from the students face for every class.


LOST & FOUND:
The Gloria Frances School of Performing Arts is not responsible for lost items or items that are left at the school. Items not claimed by the last day of each month will be donated to charity.
