Yes, we love dance. And we love providing you and your children with classes and instruction
that meet and exceed your expectations.
One of our goals is to provide you with value for your money. To help achieve this, we make
every attempt to run a clean and efficient business environment. And as such, we have to
display our "policies and procedures". In the end, it really is "good stuff to know"...
Take a look below, and then let us know what you think.

Take a look below, and then let us know what you think.
Payment by Automatic Bank Account Debit or Automatic Credit Card Charge:
Tuition will be debited from your bank account on the 1st day of each month from September-June or charged to your credit card the
1st day of each month. The month of September is non-refundable. You must sign an auto-debit or automatic credit card charge
authorization form. Credit card or bank debit payments are not accepted for in-person payment on a monthly basis. Payment must
be made by pre-authorized automatic monthly payment. Only regular monthly fees may be paid by auto-debit or credit card.
Incidental fees such as recital tickets must be paid by check or cash.
Costume Fees: Costume fees will be paid by November for the year end recital performance. Costume fees are non-refundable if
a student withdraws from the school.
Extreme Weather or Unexpected Interruption of Classes: If the school must cancel classes due to extreme weather or events
beyond our control such as power outages, the missed lessons will be added on to the end of the teaching year. No refunds for
lessons missed due these reasons will be given.
Substitutions: The school reserves the right to provide a substitute teacher if the regularly scheduled teacher is ill or otherwise
unable to teach classes. If a teacher is ill and the school cannot arrange a substitute any missed classes will be made up.
Withdrawal and Refunds: There is a two-month minimum for all lessons. One-month notice from the first of the month is required
to discontinue any classes. Withdrawal must be done in person and will not be accepted over the phone. Withdrawal must be
done at the school office and not with the teacher. Withdrawal must occur within the first 7 days of the month. No withdrawals will
be accepted after April 1. To withdraw from classes a parent or adult student must:
1. Inform school administration in person, and
2. Complete and sign a withdrawal form provided by the school office.
All automatic bank debiting or credit card charges will stop after the one-month notice period. United Dance Arts reserve the right to
terminate lessons to any students without notice. In such a case a refund for unused lessons will be given.
Dress Code: Required dancewear and dance shoes must be worn to all classes. Failure to wear required dancewear to class
could result in students being asked to sit out the class. Repeated failure to wear required dancewear could result in termination
of lessons. For safety reasons dancers are not permitted to wear jewelry. Long hair must be tied back.
Attendance and Lateness: The school reserves the right to have students who come late to class, sit out the class. Repeated
lateness may result in termination of lessons. A minimum attendance level will be required. If a student misses more than 4
classes without written notices, the school reserves the right to terminate lessons. Students missing more than 4 classes after
January will not be allowed to participate in the year-end dance recital, festivals or competitions.
Parent’s Responsibility to be Aware of Dates and Events: It is the responsibility of the parent or adult student to be aware of all
school activities, such as viewing days, recitals, extra classes, and dates the school is open or closed. The school will post all
such notices on the dance “What’s New” board or the dance bulletin board as well as sending notices home with the students. It
is the parent’s responsibility to regularly check these boards to ensure they are informed. It is the responsibility of the parents or
adult students to inform the school of any address or telephone number change.
Care of Students: The school is not responsible for providing before or after class care for students. Parents with students under
the age of 5 are to remain in the school during classes. Students are not to be left at the school for excessive time before or after
class.
Injuries: Parents, legal guardians of minor students and adult students waive the right to any legal action for any injury sustained
on school property resulting from normal dance activity or any other activity conducted by the students before, during or after class
time.
Photo Release: The school is hereby granted permission to take photographs of the students to use in brochures, web sites,
posters, advertisements and other promotional materials the school creates. Permission is also hereby granted for the school to
copyright such photographs in its name.
Miscellaneous: Parents and adult students are to be aware that the school promotes healthy body image among the students. As
such we approve if our teachers snack during the course of the teaching day. Parents are to be aware that dancing as a profession
is physically demanding and proper body care is essential.
