Dance Xplosion Rules and Waiver
Registration Fee:
New Students: an annual non-refundable registration fee of $35 per student is due whenever you register your child. Annual registration is $55 per two students and $75 for three or more students. This fee is due at the beginning of each dance year (mid-August-September). In January the fee drops to half the amount.

Returning Students:
An annual non-refundable registration fee of $25 per one student is due at the beginning of each dance year. Annual registration is $40 per two students and $55 for three or more students in one immediate family. In January the fee drops to half the amount.

Monthly Tuition:
Tuition is due the first of every month (Excluding summer sessions, which are due when the session begins). We base the fee on a 9-10 month dance year, and it is not prorated due to absences or holidays. There are no extra fees for more than 4 lessons in a month and there are no reductions for those months with only 3 lessons. A $20 late fee will be assessed after the 5th of each month for any account past due.
Statements are not sent out monthly, so please make note of when fees are due. Also, check your email for monthly newsletter from
dancexplosionstudio@gmail.com, as well as, watch for reminders/information from Remind. There is a $30 charge for all returned checks.
There is a 5% discount on monthly tuition for 2nd child enrolled from the immediately family. Families with 3 or more children dancing receive
10% discount off the 3rd, 4th, etc child’s tuition. If you are behind on payments, your child will not be allowed to participate in class until tuition is fully caught up.
All payments made by debit/credit card will be charged a 3.05% plus $0.30 convenience fee.

Absences & Make-up Classes:
We do not recommend missing class because the best way to develop a dancer is for him or her to be in the appropriate class each and every time, but we do understand things come up. Make up classes are available upon request, please make arrangements with the instructor. Make-ups are highly discouraged during the last few months before recital.

Drop-off and Pick-up:
Parents are always welcome to stay in the lobby while your child is in class but if you cannot stay your student should be dropped off and picked
up within 10 minutes of the selected dance classes. Please notify the office if you are going to be late, we are not staffed to supervise your
children for an extended amount of time. DANCERS need to remain in the lobby before and after class! There is to be NO playing/running
down the hall and in the back! There are items the children can be injured on if not supervised. Also, studio property is being torn up!
Teachers will leave promptly after the final class has ended, please be prompt in picking up your dancer. ALL food & drink must
remain in LOBBY-only water in the dance room.

Class Cancellation and Withdrawals:
Dance Xplosion reserves the right to cancel any classes or reschedule due to insufficient enrollment. Any withdrawals must be presented in
writing to the front office BY EMAILING AT dancexplosionstudio@gmail.com, until that is done tuition payment is expected and refunds will not be granted due to the class placement being held by your dancer.

Attire:
Proper dance attire is important and will be enforced. It helps to show the basic features of the body and also shows correct placement that the teacher needs in order to make correction to the students. It also shows the correct discipline that is needed in each growing dancer. Please instruct your child to wear form fitting clothes, NO JEANS OR JEAN SHORTS, and hair pulled back completely out of their face, if hair is too short to pull back please put half up or wear a headband. Cover ups should be worn whenever you are not in your appropriate class and outside from the car to the studio.

Private and Semi-Private Lessons and Choreography:
Classes are available through the studio but need to be discussed with the instructor to set up a time. There is an additional fee for Private and Semi Private Lessons.

Private and Semi-Private Lessons Cancellation:
A private must be cancelled 24 hours in advance; if it is not cancelled within that time frame you are held responsible for the payment of the
dance lesson. Exceptions are made on a one on one basis, depending upon the circumstances and at the discretion of the instructor up to 2
hours prior to the lesson. If the instructor is not contacted 2 hours prior you are automatically charged for the lesson without any exceptions.
Extenuating circumstances are understood.

Competition and Recital Costumes:
Competition and Recital Costumes will be ordered at the end of the first semester. All money must be turned in by that time to ensure that your child’s costume order is placed. NO costumes will be ordered that have not been paid for in full prior to the order. If your child’s costume is not ordered with the group there is a $20 per costume RUSH fee charged by the costume company in order to have the costumes arrive on time for the recital. Please keep in mind if you miss your deadline there is NO guarantee the costumes will arrive on time.

Recital fee:
Each dancer is required to pay a recital fee by April 1st. Recital fee is $70 for the first dancer and $30 for each additional dancer. This fee
includes all the cost for recital including awards and recital videos. Recital is held at the end of May; dates, times and details will be released
