PAYMENT

• You are registering for a dance season that runs 36 weeks over 10 months, September – June.
• Monthly payments equal 1/10 of the annual cost and may not necessarily reflect the number of actual classes each given month.
• Each dancer registering for Full Year classes will be charged a Registration fee of $40 + GST upon registration.
• Dancers will be charged a recital costume fee of $125 + GST/PST. One costume fee will be charged for each class (only one fee will be charged for multiple ballet classes). Please note that this is a purchase fee, not a rental fee. The costume will be yours to enjoy after year end recital. Recital costume fees do not include tights, shoes or classroom attire.
• A pre-authorized monthly payment is due on the 1st of each month from September to June.
• Dancers registering for 10 Week Introductory classes will be charged for the entire season upon registration. A $10 registration fee will be charged.
• All automatic payments declined for any reason will incur an NSF fee of $30. This includes credit cards.

HEALTHY STUDIO POLICY

We strive to keep the studio as Healthy an Environment as possible. If you or a member of your family
have been sick and/or display symptoms of Covid-19 or have been in contact with someone with
Covid-19 symptoms, you are restricted from entering the studio or attending classes. Further, if your
child is unwell for any other reason, please keep them at home.

SAFETY DROP AND GO

Due to the abundance of students at the Studio, we have developed a “Safety Drop and Dance” policy for all dancers.

• We ask that parents and guardians of dancers 8 and up not enter the lobby unless absolutely necessary.
• Parents and guardians of dancers aged 3-7 should accompany their child to class and then leave the building.
• Please do not arrive more than 5 minutes prior to class time.
• Please be on time for class pick up.

OBSERVATION DAYS

We are very excited to have so many students in the studio. We are working to
create a new format for Classroom Observation Days. Stayed tuned for more info!

PARKING

Parking is limited at peak times. Russell AV is running operations from behind their building at the rear of the property. Please be careful when coming around the back of the dance studio building. Don’t forget to give Bill, Jon and Darren a wave!

• Please refrain from parking in the lots of our neighbours. They will have you towed.
• Please do not park on the sides of the building. Parking is avilaable on the street and in the front and rear of the building.
• Please be aware of your surroundings. The parking lot can be busy so, PLEASE, watch for pedestrians.

CHANGE ROOMS

Changerooms are meant for changing and should not be used as “hangouts”. It is important that these remain quiet spaces so that classes are not interrupted.

• Females 14 and under (born 2012 & later) – Hallway outside Studio C
• Females 15 and over (born 2011 & earlier) – Studio D
• All ages Males – Beginning of the hallway outside Studio D
