Policies ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS
We are an environmentally friendly studio and communicate electronically with our families. Parents must have an active email address OR be willing to receive studio texts. DROP-OFF/PICK-UP
Children can be dropped off no sooner than 10 minutes before the initiation of class and must be picked up immediately after class. Supervision of students by studio staff occurs during class time only. Any student picked up more than 5 minutes after the end of class will incur a childcare fee of $1/min billed on the next tuition cycle. DRINKS/FOOD
No food of any kind is allowed in any of the dance studios. Water is the only beverage permitted provided it is in a tightly sealed container. Water bottles are available for purchase at the front desk. To ensure your student stays hydrated and to limit class interruptions, please send a water bottle with your student. DRESS CODE
Proper dance attire and shoes should be worn at all times during class. Please see the dress code located on our website under "Classes" for more details. CLASS OBSERVANCE
For student safety and unless arranged previously by the instructor, no person other than those enrolled in the class will be allowed in the class. Parents will have the opportunity to observe at the director's discretion. REGISTRATION
A registration form must be completed by a parent, legal guardian, or any student over the age of 18 before the initiation of any class. There is a $35 non-refundable registration fee required each school year. Tuition plus the registration fee must be paid to complete your registration and secure your space in class. TRIAL
Trial classes are available for new students as space permits at studio discretion. Please request a trial online or contact the studio: boogie@dancefactoryfairfield.com TUITION Tuition for classes is yearly broken down into monthly payments for convenience. The monthly payment remains the same regardless of the number of weeks or holidays in a month. We encourage all students to participate in our auto-pay program. Families who enroll in ACH auto-pay will receive a tuition discount. All tuition not received by the 5th of any given month will incur a $15 late fee. Statements will not be mailed. It is your responsibility to ensure that payment is made on time. A $25 fee will be charged on all returned checks. Tuition is non-refundable. We require one month's notice if you wish to cancel your class. We reserve the right to increase tuition rates at any time. ATTENDANCE/ABSENCES
In order to experience the full benefits of dance, students are expected to attend class regularly and on time. Absences can be made up in a comparable class (if one is available in the same session) within 4 weeks of the absence date. Make-ups are non-transferable. We have the right to refuse the use of a make-up if class size is prohibitive. Only two make-up classes will be approved in any given month. No refunds will be given for absences under any circumstance. CLASS CANCELATIONS
In the rare event that class is canceled due to an emergency or teacher illness, a makeup class will be arranged or credit given if a makeup class is not possible. We will do our best to notify each student by phone or email as soon as we are made aware of the situation. Make-up classes may be offered virtually during pandemics, accidents, fires or natural disasters. BELONGINGS
