Fees
Enrollment Fee – A $40 per student or $80 per family enrollment fee will be charged at the time of enrollment. Xpressions Dance Academy has the right to cancel any class that is of insufficient size and move students to another class if available. If no class is available your enrollment fee will be refunded.
Recital Costume Fee – The Recital costume fee is due no later than January 5th . Fees not paid by that date will be included with the automatic tuition payment on January 5th. The costume fees are $60 for youth sizes ages 11 and under and $70 for ages 12 & up (ages as of Sept. 1st). A dancer will need one costume per dance class (i.e. a jazz class + a ballet class = 2 costumes). After January 5th the costume fee will not be refunded. If a dancer withdraws after that date they will receive the costume.
Watch Week
Parents are invited into the studio to observe a class several times throughout the dance season during published “Watch Weeks”. You are welcome into the class to observe how your dancer’s skills are improving and any choreography the class has been working on and see how the class is structured. During Watch Weeks you are welcome to video and take pictures.
Attendance
Students are expected to attend class every week to insure consistent learning and advancement within the class. Attendance is taken weekly. Absences and tardiness are a hindrance to your student and the entire class. If a dancer is more than 10 minutes late to class, they must request to entry into the class. Late entry is very disruptive and impacts the entire class. Missed classes can be made-up during that month if a similar class is available.
