STUDIO POLICIES
We are excited to welcome your family to Inspire!
REGISTRATION
Our dance season runs from August through June and is divided into five 8-week sessions.
Students may register for any open class through January. If space is available, tuition will be prorated based on the date of enrollment.
Tuition for sessions 2-10 is due on the 15th of each month. Email reminders will be sent before each payment due date.
Please note: Tuition payments are non-refundable.
ENROLLMENT & WITHDRAWL
Once enrolled, your dancer's place in class is automatically reserved for future sessions. There is no need to re-register each session.
If your dancer will not be continuing, written notice must be received before the end of the current session. Notification may be submitted by email or fax but must be confirmed by our office.
Without written notification, tuition will continue to be billed to the payment method on file.
TUITION & PAYMENTS
A valid credit card or bank account is required for enrollment.
Families may choose to:
-
Enroll in automatic payments, or
-
Pay tuition manually before each session begins.
If manual payment has not been received by the first day of a new session, tuition will be processed using the payment method on file.
To avoid additional fees, please keep all payment information current.
PAYMENT & FEES
$25 fee for declined or outdated payment information.
$25 late fee for past-due tuition after an unsuccessful payment attempt.
$35 fee for returned checks.
Remaining current on tuition is required to maintain class enrollment.
CLASS PLACEMENTS
Our goal is to place every dancer in the class where they will be most successful.
Placement is based on age, experience, and individual ability and is determined by our teachers and director.
During the first two weeks of the season, class placements may be adjusted to ensure every dancer is in the best learning environment.
ATTENDANCE & MAKE-UP CLASSES
If your dancer will miss class, please notify the office.
Whenever possible, missed classes may be made up in a similar class during the same tuition session. Please contact us to schedule a make-up class, as class sizes are limited.
Tuition cannot be refunded for missed classes.
WEATHER CLOSINGS
When severe weather requires the studio to close, notifications will be sent by email and posted through our communication channels.
We generally follow local school district closure recommendations when appropriate.
Tuition is not refunded for weather-related cancellations.
SUBSTITUE TEACHERS
Occasionally, a qualified substitute instructor may teach a class when a member of our faculty is performing, teaching, or attending professional events.
We carefully select experienced instructors to ensure your dancer continues to receive excellent instruction.
STUDIO GUIDELINES
Help us keep Inspire a welcoming place for everyone.
Water is welcome in the classrooms.
Please do not bring gum, popcorn, or sports drinks into the studio.
Treat the studio with the same care and respect you would your own home.
OUTSIDE PERFORMING GROUPS
Students who are members of another competitive dance studio or performing company are not eligible to enroll at Inspire.
Students participating in high school poms, cheer, or orchesis programs are always welcome.
