Good attendance is imperative, as absences and tardiness can hold back an entire class. Students should be prompt and prepared for class.

The studio will not necessarily close for bad weather days, regardless if area schools are closed. If in doubt call the studio before coming to class on the given day for a recorded message. If classes are canceled, it will be posted on the studio Facebook page and Instagram Story, and be sent via text.

I understand that when dropping or adding a class at any time during the year, a drop-add notice must be provided in writing via email to yapp361dance@gmail.com. Not showing up for classes, does not constitute a withdrawal from class. Accounts will continue to be charged for tuition until the drop-add form has been completed.

YAPP 361 LLC uses a closed circuit camera system, live social media, Zoom, and other recording platforms to record classes & choreography, allow viewing for parents, and to provide video feedback for students and parents on their progress. Video recording also makes it possible to assist a student in catching up on any classes missed so they do not fall behind. Unless approved by both YAPP 361 and the student (if 18 or over) or guardian, video recording from our closed circuit camera system will not be published and are not to be distributed outside of the studio. I understand that separate from the closed circuit camera system, class videos and photos might occasionally be taken of myself/my dancer and might be used by YAPP 361 Dance Studio on their website, social media, and for any other studio marketing purposes.
