Dynamic Artistry Dance Co. Privacy & Policy Agreement
Privacy Policy
At Dynamic Artistry Dance Co. (DADC), your privacy and trust are of the utmost importance. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal information in alignment with our commitment to safety, transparency, and professionalism.
Personal Information
Before or at the time of collecting personal information, we will clearly identify the purposes for which the information is being collected.
We collect and use personal information solely for fulfilling those specified purposes or other compatible purposes, unless we obtain consent or are required by law to do otherwise.
Information is collected lawfully and fairly, with the knowledge or consent of the individual or their legal guardian when appropriate.
Personal data will be relevant, accurate, complete, and kept up to date for the purposes for which it is to be used.
All personal information is protected by reasonable safeguards against loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification.
Information regarding our data management practices is readily available upon request.
Personal information is retained for up to two years following unenrollment, after which it will be securely deleted or destroyed unless otherwise required for legal or administrative reasons.
Student records, including emergency contact information, are securely stored and used strictly for emergency purposes during studio hours or events.
Minors & Parental Consent
As most of our students are minors, personal data is collected with the understanding that parental or legal guardian consent is implied at the time of registration. Guardians have the right to request access to their child’s stored information or request corrections at any time.
Third-Party Data Handling
Dynamic Artistry Dance Co. does not sell or share personal information for marketing purposes. We may use trusted third-party service providers (such as our registration platform or payment processor) solely for operational needs. These vendors are contractually obligated to maintain the confidentiality and security of your data.
Digital Security
All digital records are stored within secure, password-protected systems. Payment processing is managed via PCI-compliant, encrypted platforms to ensure the highest level of security.
Safety & Abuse Prevention
Your artist’s physical, emotional, and mental well-being is a non-negotiable priority at DADC. Our commitment to safety extends far beyond physical precautions:
All instructors and administrative staff are YPAD (Youth Protection Advocates in Dance) certified, which includes comprehensive training in abuse awareness, CPR, mandated reporting, and injury prevention.
Our policies prohibit one-on-one private instruction or communication with minors without parent/guardian knowledge or consent.
DADC maintains a no-tolerance stance on physical, emotional, or verbal abuse.
The studio is monitored by 24/7 recorded video surveillance in all public spaces (excluding restrooms, basement, and back alley).
While classrooms are not monitored live, all footage is archived and used for safety, training, and investigative purposes as needed.
Payments
All student accounts are enrolled in automatic payments at the time of registration. This ensures seamless tuition processing and uninterrupted class participation.
Tuition is due on the 1st of each month.
Families may opt to pay by cash or check as long as payment is received prior to the 1st. If payment is not received in advance, the default autopay method will be charged on the 1st.
A $10 late fee will apply if payment is not received within 7 days of the due date.
Payment options include credit/debit card, ACH (bank draft), check, or cash.
Processing fees are as follows:
Credit/Debit: 3.05% + $0.30
ACH: 0.80%
These fees are charged directly by the payment processor and are not a profit to DADC.
Refunds
Tuition refunds will be issued only if no classes were attended during the tuition month. If a dancer has attended even one class, no refund will be granted.
Refunds are issued as account credits, not cash or card returns, and do not include reimbursement of processing fees.
All other refunds are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and may be denied at the discretion of the studio director.
Media Release
DADC reserves the right to take photos and videos of students for use on social media, promotional materials, and our website. However:
Students will never be identified by full name in any public post.
Families who prefer that their dancer not appear in media can submit a written opt-out request to:
📧 frontdesk@dynamicartistrydanceco.com
Discounts
Discounts must be arranged in advance of the season or at the time eligibility is met.
Discounts are applied individually and cannot be combined into a single percentage.
Attendance
Regular attendance is expected. Families are responsible for notifying instructors or the studio director if a student will be absent.
Absences for personal reasons (school, illness, etc.) are not eligible for makeup, refund, or proration.
Late Arrivals
Students arriving more than 10 minutes late, without prior communication, will not be permitted to participate in class.
Missed classes due to late arrival are not eligible for refund or proration.
Class Cancellations
If DADC cancels a class due to unforeseen circumstances, students may attend a make-up class within 7 days, based on instructor guidance.
Cancelled classes will not be rescheduled, and no refund or proration will be given.
Class Uniforms
While DADC does not require a standardized uniform, each class has specific dress code requirements essential for safety and effective instruction.
Students who do not comply may be asked to observe and take notes rather than participate physically in class.
