STUDIO HOLIDAYS
Our dance year basically runs from September through May. We will close the studio for Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, with specific dates announced each year. We also close for a Spring Break in conjunction with the public school system. We do not close for teacher workdays.

In case of inclement weather, please check the message at the studio by calling 704.525.6555. We will follow the decision made by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School System.

TUITION
Tuition for lessons is an annual fee, which can be paid (1) in 9 monthly installments, due on the first of each month (2) quarterly on September 1, December 1, and March 1 or (3) annually. We also offer the convenience of paying your tuition with your Visa, MasterCard. The annual fee is based on the length of the weekly class(es). A technique class such as ballet, jazz, or tap taken as a second class has a reduced rate. If you withdraw from a class or make a change in classes, please notify us in writing by using a drop/add card available in the studio lobby. Missed classes may be made up. Please check with your instructor for an appropriate class to attend for a make-up.

PARENT OBSERVATION
We welcome parent observation at anytime. You will find viewing windows outside of each dance room. For the benefit of student concentration and the protection of our professional dance floors, we must ask that observation be done from the viewing windows.

CLASS ATTIRE
The dancers may wear any color or style of leotard and tights to class. Laces and/or ribbons should be tucked into the ballet slippers. Do not wear dangling earrings, necklaces, bracelets, etc. into class. Hair should be neat, away from your face, and up-off of your neck (this allows free movement and also allows the instructors to better see a dancer's alignment). Older students should wear a cover-up when coming to or leaving the studio. Boys should wear a white T-shirt and black shorts or jazz pants. We request that the "Ballet Technique" students wear black leotard and pink tights with their hair in a bun. We have a fully stocked dance shop, which carries all necessary dancewear and shoes.
