Studio Policies
Attendance: Consistent attendance is important. Please notify us if your dancer will be absent.
Make-Up Classes: May be available depending on class availability. Contact us to schedule. Make-up classes are not available for any notices given in less than 24 hours. Make-up classes have to be made up within a 2 week period.
Withdraw Policy: Email a written notice to the studio at least 10 days before the next billing cycle to avoid being billed to the next month. You will be billed until your withdrawal is officially received.
Illness: Please keep your child home if they are feeling unwell.
Skin Safety: Any open wounds, cuts, skin infections, or warts should be properly covered before class to prevent irritation and possible contamination.
Lost & Found: Unclaimed items will be donated monthly. Please label all belongings.
Inclement Weather Days: Will not be made up due to them being unforeseen events. We follow Conway Public School District for closures.
Free Trial Policy: We are happy to offer new students one free trial class with no commitment required. This gives dancers the chance to experience our classes and ensure it’s the right fit. If you decide to enroll after your trial, the class will then be applied toward your tuition, and you will be responsible for that class fee along with the remaining tuition for that month. If you choose not to enroll, the class remains free with no further obligation.

Email Newsletters for important updates
Text Alerts for last-minute changes
Social Media for events, photos, and fun studio updates

If a payment is not made within 30 days, the student’s classes may be suspended.
A late fee of $25 will be added right after missed payment and a late fee of $15 will be added every week after.
For easy payment of tuition we can take a card at the front desk or you can pay online through Studio Pro.
