The
Dance Barn 2014-15 Policies
“We
dance because we have nothing to prove and everything to share...”
Welcome
to The Dance Barn! We believe in “building self esteem by discovering the joy
of dance.” Our studio provides quality instruction in a “home-like”, private
studio atmosphere. The Dance Barn distinguishes itself by focusing on the worth
and self esteem of each dancer. We emphasize correct technique, promote
advanced learning, and provide our students with training in all styles of
dance. We feel our success is
achieved though happy students and a positive performing experience for each
child rather than trophies from expensive and time-consuming competitions. Recitals
are professionally done and kept short and enjoyable. All classes have at least
two teachers who utilize positive teaching techniques. Monthly tuition includes
recital fees for free attendance and costume costs are kept to a minimum. Music
and costumes are appropriate and modest. We love our “family feel” so classes
are limited. We know you will experience the difference!
POLICIES
v Please include
an $8 recital fee per
family per month ($56/year).
o Example:
1 hr tuition = $48 PLUS $8 recital fee = $56
per month.
v FAMILY
DISCOUNT: $5 off per additional child on tuition portion only.
v Costume
fees are DUE DECEMBER 1ST
– We order in December and must have all fees in order to place the order, so
please plan accordingly.
v REGISTRATION
FEE is $20 per person or $50 per family (3 or more students).
v RECITAL, COSTUME, AND
REGISTRATION FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE
o This means that even if your child chooses
to quit during the dance year, you will NOT be refunded.

payments are due the 1st week of the month and late after the 15th.
A $10 late fee will be added and must be paid on top of your tuition.

on a monthly basis and it is the parent’s
responsibility to ensure payment is remitted.

v PLEASE NO WEEKLY VISITORS.
v Clothing
– dress like a dancer! Tights and leotards in all company classes, appropriate
dance wear for all other classes (NO JEANS OR “SCHOOL” CLOTHES). Hair back and
off of face is a must! Beginning students need black taps and pink ballet
shoes. Intermediate students need tan tap shoes, tan jazz shoes, and pink
ballet shoes. Advanced students need black/white spectator taps, pink ballet
shoes, and tan jazz shoes. Elite I and II students also need tan character
shoes.
v Costume
alterations are the PARENTS
responsibility.
v Monday
and Thursday classes are affected by National/School holidays. This does not change the tuition.
Make up classes are available and attendance to these classes is the parent’s responsibility.
v Please
be PROMPT in picking up and dropping
off your dancer. Please pull in front of the Barn, down 29th Way or
in the driveway from the EAST (so dancers are on the right side to get out). DO NOT PARK IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE, block
trash cans or mailboxes or park across the street at any time!

strict about this and need your support to keep my neighborhood happy!
