auto debit, Visa or MasterCard auto debit. A form is provided in
your registration packet. A 3%

or more classes per week receives a $2.00 discount per hour.

lessons/missed class - dance:
If a pupil is going to miss class, the
parent is asked to please call the school. If the student cannot
attend the regularly scheduled class, he or she may attend another

Snow Days: In
case of bad weather
You must call the studio
814-886-2777 for a recorded
message
that specifically states that we are closed. If you miss a class due
to bad weather, and we are open, you are considered absent. If we
miss classes due to the weather class will be made up at a
convenient time for the studio. Please listen to Froggy 98 and TV-10
for notification of closing.
Being late to class: We
understand that being late is sometimes unavoidable, however, a
pupil who is more than 10 minutes late for class may be asked by the
teacher to observe rather than take class. This is not a
disciplinary measure, but it is done with the student's best
interests in mind -- especially those where higher levels are
concerned. A student who misses the beginning exercises runs the
risk of injury by not being properly warmed up. Please make sure the
student understands this.
--Students must
make every effort to be on time and attend every class
--We will make
every effort to have classes begin and end on time

By signing the registration form, you give full rights to the
Charlene's School of Dance and its staff, to use photo or video
images of you or your child to use for promotional purposes of the
studio, only. Photos will not be used for any other purpose.
Insurance:
All students are required to be covered by their own insurance, and
if an injury occurs, it is understood that the students and their
family are responsible for any medical cost. You dance at your own
risk.
Recital:
The recital is in June and dress rehearsal in the same week.
Community Show: You
can not participate in any show, parade or dance event without first
attending the required practices.
Enrollment:
Charlene’s School of Dance classes
will begin Monday, September 6th. There is a
$25.00 NON-REFUNDABLE
ENROLLMENT FEE,
per family.
As with any private school, camp,
etc., monthly tuition remains FULL AMOUNT DUE regardless
private or regularly scheduled class lessons missed due to holidays,
snow days, etc. If you cannot adhere to this or other policies,
please do not sign up.
Enrollment includes 10 months of class
instruction. Consistent participation is encouraged. IF
A STUDENT MUST WITHDRAWAL, PLEASE NOTIFY US IN WRITING.
Tuition will continue to accrue until notification is received.
We cannot accept any student if they
only want to try it for a month or two. A student in the study of
an art form cannot decide if they will enjoy it without diligently
applying themselves for an adequate period of time. By making this
commitment your child will learn the importance of accepting
responsibility and finishing something they start. We cannot accept
the “I CAN ALWAYS QUIT” attitude.
We feel the policies are imperative to the
effectiveness of our program.
Read them carefully.
