Enrollment Agreement & Acknowledgement
By enrolling my dancer with Chicago Contemporary Dance Theatre (Chi-CDT), I acknowledge that I have read, understand, and agree to abide by the policies, procedures, and expectations outlined in the Chi-CDT Student & Company Handbook, Parent Portal, and all future written communications issued by Chi-CDT.
I understand and agree that:
General Policies
My dancer is enrolling in the Chicago Contemporary Dance Theatre Company Pathway and will participate according to their assigned program (Pre-Company, Company II, or Company I).
Class placement, Company placement, choreography, casting, and performance opportunities are determined solely by the Chi-CDT coaching staff.
Placement decisions are based on ongoing evaluations and may change throughout the season.
Tuition & Financial Responsibility
Tuition is based on enrollment and reserves my dancer's place in class.
Tuition is not prorated for absences, vacations, holidays, illnesses, or other missed classes except as expressly approved by Chi-CDT.
I am responsible for all tuition, fees, and charges associated with my dancer's enrollment.
I authorize Chi-CDT to process scheduled tuition payments using my payment method on file in accordance with the selected payment plan.
I understand that late fees, declined payment fees, late pick-up fees, Company fees, and other applicable charges may be added to my account when appropriate.
Attendance & Participation
My dancer is expected to attend all required classes, rehearsals, performances, and Company activities associated with their placement.
Failure to maintain attendance or preparedness may affect choreography, casting, performances, or Company placement.
Health & Safety
I certify that my dancer is physically able to participate in dance activities unless otherwise disclosed to Chi-CDT.
I agree to notify the studio of any illness, injury, allergies, medical conditions, or restrictions that may affect my dancer's participation.
I understand that Chi-CDT staff does not administer medication except as required by law or in emergency situations.
Supervision & Student Safety
I understand that Chi-CDT supervision is limited to scheduled classes, rehearsals, performances, and approved studio activities within the
Chi-CDT studio suite.
I understand that dancers must notify the Front Desk before leaving the studio suite.
I understand that Chi-CDT does not supervise or assume responsibility for dancers who leave the studio suite without authorization or who enter other areas of the Bridgeport Art Center, including the first-floor café or common areas.
Parent Responsibilities
I agree to arrive on time for drop-off and promptly pick up my dancer following their scheduled activities.
I understand that late pick-up fees will be assessed according to Chi-CDT policy.
I agree to communicate respectfully with instructors, staff, volunteers, dancers, and other families.
Photography & Media
I understand that photographs and video may be taken during classes, rehearsals, performances, competitions, and studio events and may be used by Chi-CDT for educational, promotional, or marketing purposes unless I have submitted a written opt-out, if permitted by studio policy.
