Class Cancellations and Drop‑Ins
Students are expected to attend class weekly, as teachers are scheduled and compensated on a weekly basis. If an assigned teacher is unavailable, a qualified substitute will teach the class. Tuition payments remain due unless a dancer is formally withdrawn from the class.

Temple Dance Center does not offer refunds for missed classes; however, make‑up classes are available when applicable.

If classes are canceled due to weather or other circumstances beyond Temple Dance Center’s control, refunds will not be issued.

Liability Waiver and Assumption of Risk

Dance training involves physical activity that may include stretching, strength work, cardio movement, floor work, and choreography. These activities carry inherent risks, including but not limited to muscle strains, sprains, fractures, falls, and concussions. By signing below, the participant (or parent/guardian) voluntarily assumes all risks associated with participation in classes, rehearsals, performances, and studio activities.

The participant releases Temple Dance Center, its owners, instructors, staff, and affiliates from any and all liability for injuries, damages, or losses sustained during participation, including those arising from the ordinary negligence (active or passive) of the studio or its staff, to the fullest extent permitted by New York State law.

Medical Consent
In the event of an emergency, the participant authorizes Temple Dance Center staff to obtain medical treatment and/or emergency transport at the participant’s expense. The studio is not responsible for medical costs incurred as a result of injury.

Tuition & Payment Policies
Monthly Billing
Tuition is billed on the 1st of each month. All payments are non‑refundable and non‑transferable.

A card on file is the preferred method of payment for monthly tuition.
By enrolling, you authorize Temple Dance Center to charge the card on file for monthly tuition and any applicable fees.
