Dancer health and safety is a priority at Dance Studio Elegance. Students should come to the studio dressed and wait outside for teachers to come and get them. Dressing rooms and waiting areas are closed. Families must wait outside for their dancer, except for Creative Movement where one parent (no siblings) is allowed in to help with social distancing. There are temperatures and health checks when entering the building. Drinking fountains are closed - students must bring their own water. Please contact Dance Studio Elegance to discuss other measures ABA has instituted to keep everyone safe while dancing

Enrollment Policy

I understand that my space will be held for me for the school year at Dance Studio Elegance unless I state otherwise. If at any time I wish to discontinue classes at Dance Studio Elegance I understand I must give written notice by the 15th of the prior month. Notice must be written, and submitted to Julia@danceStudioElegance.com or 603 Doral ct, New Bern, NC 28562. Verbal notice to teachers is not adequate. I understand that if sufficient notice is not given that I am responsible for the next month's tuition.

 

Make-up and Cancelation Policy

No refunds or discounts are given for missed class. Students are always welcome to come in for make-ups. Please arrange make-up classes with the instructor. Make-ups should be completed within 30 days.

Cancellation must be made 24 hours prior to the class.

 

Professional Contact

Ballet is a physical art form that requires very exact body placement and muscle recognition to be successful. In addition to demonstrations and verbal instructions, we find that utilizing kinesthetic learning is extremely effective in helping children understand what they are being asked to do. If you are uncomfortable with professional contact, please discuss things with your instructor(s).

 

Restroom Assistance

I understand that if my child will need restroom assistance that I must remain accessible either in the observation or waiting area during class time.

 

 Picture Release

I give Dance Studio Elegance permission to use pictures that may include my child for promotional purposes. Most pictures are from a distance, of the entire class, and often times children are not easily recognizable. If the child is easily recognizable Dance Studio Elegance will contact you to be given permission.

 

Canceling Classes

Extreme Weather or Unexpected Interruption of Classes: We cancel classes if the Craven County School system cancels school or their after school activities. If the school must cancel classes due to extreme weather or events beyond our control such as power outages, the missed lessons will not be made up.  We will notify families of any cancellations/schedule changes via our Dance Studio Elegance Facebook page as well as the e-mail address that we have on file for your family.
