    Payment:

    ~It is very important to know that you must pay the whole month’s fee whether your child will be in class or not. I am holding a space for your child and there are people on waiting lists who would love to be in the studio and therefore be a replacement for your child. Payment is due the first class of every month unless fees are pre-paid in September. If your monthly payment is 8 or more days late, you will be charged a fee of $10.00 per month.

    ~ Punch cards are available for Adult Tap and Pilates at $120 for10 punches (or $13/individual class without punch card).

    ~Whether you/your children are sick, on vacation, or just at another activity, they may make up the class(es) they miss by coming to the next higher level dance time. It is important that you call me to let me know if your you/your child will be missing. If there are 3 or more unexcused absences you/your child will be moved down a level.

    Studio Viewing

    There is an open lobby policy at Balleraena Dance Studio allowing family and friends to come watch at any time. This open lobby policy also allows me as the teacher to have a hands-on studio. Please be respectful of the studio and dancers by supervising younger siblings/children in the viewing area. Please be quiet!
