Refund Policy
During the school year you have 3 classes to decide if enrollment is suitable. If you decide not to return, you will pay only for the classes your child attended. After the third class, there are No Refunds. Email info@danspace.com to request a refund.
Tardiness
We understand that a student may be late to class. For the safety of the dancer, we have set some limits on when it is too late to join in for class. For classes 45 minutes or an hour in length, if you will be more than 10 minutes late it is best to schedule a make-up class. For classes an hour and a half in length, if you will be more than 15 minutes late to class, it is best to schedule a make-up class. Arriving late to class is disruptive for the late student, the class and the instructor. Students in Ballet 1 and up that arrive late will be asked to sit and observe class rather than participate by dancing. This is for the safety of the dancer, to prevent injury from improperly warming up.
Missed Classes
If you know you will be absent from a class, please email info@danspace.com to let us know the date(s) you will be absent. Contact the front desk to schedule a make-up class during the semester in which the absence occurred. No make-ups will be scheduled during the final 3 weeks of the spring semester. Classes are not transferable. Three make-ups are permitted per semester.
Front Desk Hours
We are available by Email, info@danspace.com. If you would like to schedule a phone call or virtual meeting, email us to arrange a time to connect.
*** There is no break in classes between the fall and spring semesters. Students continue in their assigned class from September-June. ***
