We will use your personal information to fulfill your specific request and to contact you related to that request. For example, when you provide personal information to enroll in a dance class, we will use that information to register the student, but we will also use that information to contact you about billing and service matters or if we have a question. If you contact us with questions about our classes or services, we will use your contact information to answer your specific questions but may also use your personal contact information to provide additional materials about our program at a later date.

Studio Chassé, LLC is committed to ensuring the security of your personal information. Studio Chassé uses auto-pay through Studio Pro to collect tuition installments. A checking account or credit/debit card is required at the time of registration and families must enroll in auto-pay. No financial information is stored within Studio Pro; this includes credit card numbers and bank accounts. Studio Pro sends electronic requests to the merchant processor to charge a customer's account without having to specify the financial details. This protects both Studio Chassé and our families.

Morning Playdate Safety and Behavior
Behaviors that we consider dangerous and unsafe are climbing/hanging on the ballet barres, hitting/kicking/biting another person, hitting/kicking the mirrors, throwing toys, etc. If we see this behavior happening, we will address it right away and if it persists, we will have the parent reroute the child to another area or lobby.
How you discipline your child is your choice but while on the premises of Studio Chassé there will be no spanking, hitting, shouting, or threatening of any kind by parents, caregivers, guardians, etc. to their child. We consider this abuse, and it will not be tolerated in our presence and on the premises.
