Studio B. Policy on Disagreements Between Divorced or Separated Parents Regarding Dancer Participation
At Studio B., our priority is the well-being and growth of each dancer. In cases where divorced or separated parents disagree on enrollment, participation, or financial obligations related to their child’s involvement at Studio B., the following policy applies:
Studio B. will accept registration and payment from either parent individually and will proceed with the enrolled dancer’s participation based on the consent of the registering parent.
Unless Studio B. is provided with a legal document that specifically requires joint consent for the child’s participation at and by Studio B., only one parent’s approval is needed for participation in any class, workshop, or program. The Studio B. Director, Teachers, or Staff will not mediate.
The parent who registers the dancer will be considered the Primary Contact and is financially responsible for all associated fees. Any cost-sharing, reimbursement, or communication between parents must be handled privately.
We appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain a positive, respectful environment for your child and the Studio B. community.
