Thank you for joining the Relevé Dance Center family. Please read this policy with your dancer(s). The studio policy is put in place to create the best dance experience for your child. These policies ensure an organized, professional, and fun learning environment. If you have any questions regarding the policy please see Miss Sarah.
Communication: Please join our closed FB Group “Relevé Dance Students” for more information/updates. Make sure you have an up to date email address on Dance Studio Pro, there is an app for Dance Studio Pro! Communications to parents will be in these 2 places.
Registration: All dancers need to be registered with Dance Studio Pro. Registration fee must be paid to hold your dancer’s spot. Our classes are based on age, ability, attendance, behavior and preparedness for class. Levels are assigned to ensure a positive learning experience. Please contact Miss Sarah to determine your dancer’s level.
Tuition covers a 9-month dance season, September to May. June tuition is $10 per dancer. The tuition is based on the number of classes per week. The monthly tuition rate is a flat fee regardless of the number of weeks in a month, including all school vacation weeks. A $15 late fee will be added to payments made after the 15th of each month.
A non-refundable registration fee of $25/student is due at the time of registration. Tuition is due the 1st of every month. Tuition can be paid on DSP and with a check or cash in the payment box at the studio.

Studio Closures & Holidays: Relevé Dance Center will be closed during the following times:
• February Vacation Week
• April Vacation Week
• The Week of Thanksgiving
• December 20th – January 2nd (calendar numbers may change by year)
• Other select holidays or events as announced throughout the season
Please note that tuition remains consistent regardless of holiday closures, as these dates are built into the annual schedule. Any additional closures will be communicated via email and posted in the studio.
Recital: We have one recital a year that all dancers will participate in. Our recital typically takes place in June. There will be a recital packet sent home in the spring. If your dancer does not want to take part in the recital you must email the studio by December 31st. We have one recital each season, which is performed twice to ensure all dancers get ample stage time and to accommodate family and friends
Weather: If there is bad weather, we will decide 1.5 hours prior to classes starting if we will cancel classes. We will post our decision to our FB page and send out an email. We may still have classes on school “Snow Days”.
Make Up classes: If your dancer misses a class due to weather, illness, or other reason you will not receive a refund for the missed class(es). Your dancer may come to a different class to make up the missed class.
Dropping a Class: If a student wishes to withdraw from a class, an official written notice via email is required prior to the first of the month. Verbal notice given to instructors or staff, or simply ceasing to attend class, does not constitute withdrawal. All drop requests must be sent to relevedancecenter@gmail.com or you can drop through Dance Studio Pro. Tuition charges will continue to accrue until the date the email is received, not the last date of attendance.You are financially responsible for all tuition up to that point, regardless of class participation. We appreciate your understanding as this helps us maintain accurate records, staffing, and class sizes.
Observing Classes: We don’t allow parents in the classroom while classes are taking place. If your child is new to the studio, you are welcome to watch the first class with your child. There will be times when the teachers invite the parents into the studio for a “sneak peak”.
On Time: Please have your dancer arrive 10 minutes before their class starts. Students should be ready with hair up and dance clothes and footwear on when the class is scheduled to start. It is important for your dancer to warm up properly to avoid injury. If your child misses warm up they may be asked to sit out for the remainder of class.
Food: There is no food or drink allowed in the studio with the exception of water. We encourage all dancers to come to class with a water bottle.
Bullying: We have a very strict no bullying policy at Relevé Dance Center. Dancers will be dismissed from class for bullying of any kind. We will not tolerate parents talking negatively about dancers or staff at RDC. No gossiping of any kind will be allowed by parents or students.
Questions: All questions must be asked to Miss Sarah. Relevé teachers will not be answering questions regarding your dancer, the studio or other staff.
Cell Phones: Students must keep cell phones turned off and in their bags.
Dress Code: Dress code must be followed during all classes. Parents will be contacted if dancers are not following the dress code.
