JCPA PARTICIPANTS: Please read the entire waiver.
I do hereby discharge and release Brooklyn Jewish Dance Theater Inc (aka Jewish Center for the Performing Arts), its directors, employees, and instructors from any and all liability for injury, sickness (including COVID), loss, damage, obligation, expense or penalty, which I or my child (children) may sustain in connection with participation in classes and performances while at the Brooklyn Jewish Dance Theater/Jewish Center for the Performing Arts.
In addition, by signing this form, I acknowledge that I have received, read, and understand the studio terms and policies listed below.
STUDENT BEHAVIOR & DRESS CODE
Students should come to the studio dressed for class.
Please wait until your class is called before entering the studio.
Do not bring anything extra to the studio. Bring only what is needed for class(with the exeption of homework for breaks between classes). Water bottles must be labeled with student's name.
NO gum is allowed in any class. Please do not allow your children to have candy or soda before coming to class. A healthy diet ensures a healthy body. Please make sure your children get a good nights rest before dancing.
Our studio is a positive, judgement-free zone where we do not tolerate disrespect (of staff or other students) or bullying. Any student who does not comply will be expelled from the program.
Hair should be worn up and away from the face. No loose hair is allowed in any class (exept hip hop).
No loose jewelry may be worn.
Please adhere to our dress code. NO TANK TOPS, CROP TOPS, OR SHORTS MAY BE WORN.

Regular attendance is expected. It is necessary to learn proper technique, develop self-confidence, and for the entire class to progress.
MISSED CLASSES
Students are encouraged to make up missed classes. Make-ups may be taken in a class of a lower level (if available) or in a class of a different style. Make-ups must be taken by the end of the second month following the missed class. We do NOT refund missed classes! Missed classes around the time of yom tov will NOT be credited! Additionally, missed classes from May 1st onward, no make-ups will be offered.
FOR PARENTS
Please be on time to pick up your children. In case of inclement weather, call 1 hour prior to class or check our website for updates.
PRICING/PAYMENTS
Our pricing varies depending on when you join, with the first month of the season being the cheapest. We have all inclusive pricing. When figuring out our pricing, we total all fees for the entire season and divide it per month. Regardless of how many classes there are, the tuition remains the same to make it easier and less confusing for all of us. We do NOT share breakdowns. All payments are non refundable, unless you were overcharged.
CANCELLATIONS
Cancelled classes will be made up during rehearsals.
DROP OUT
You must notify us of any student dropping classes by the 10th of the month. If we're not notified by this time, you will be billed for the entire month (if you're paying monthly), or you will not be credited for the remaining paid tuition for that month.
Dropping out close to the show (starting in March) will result in a drop out fee.
March 35% of your full remaining tuition
April 40% of your full remaining tuition
May 45% of your full remaining tuition
June 50% of your full remaining tuition
