Information & Policies
Tuition
​
Payment is due on the first of the month and can be made through the studio website, in person or by mail. Please make checks payable to D&D Studios, Inc.
​
Untimely payment will result in the student being asked to observe the class only and not participate until payment is made. Any checks returned are subject to a $35.00 service fee.
​
The monthly tuition charge for all classes is based on four lessons per month, even though throughout the year there will be several times when the student may receive a fifth lesson at no extra charge. The studio will observe the following legal holidays: Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Break and Levy County Spring Break. These dates will be posted to the website. No credit will be issued for classes missed due to these holidays. Class schedules are subject to change without notice due to class availability and class demand.
​
There will be an annual non-refundable registration fee of $25.00 per student or for multiple students in an immediate family payable at time of registration.

Attendance
Please try and keep missed classes to a minimum. Excessive absences or tardiness may result in your dancer not being able to advance to the next dance level.
Due to recital preparations, a student missing more than two classes total starting the month of January through May, may not be allowed to participate in the recital.
If a student misses a class, the class must be paid for because a place is reserved for the student during that hour. An award will be presented to all students with perfect attendance at our Spring recital.
It is the teacher's discretion as to whether a child is too late for class.
In the event a teacher needs to make up a missed class, she will do so in the months of April and May leading up to June recital. She will notify you of the class make up day and time.
Please notify the studio immediately if a student withdraws from class. Students are liable for payment if their name is on the class role as that space is being held for the student.
Drop Off & Pick up
Parents of students age 3 through 5 (all Combo I and Combo II classes) must remain in the studio during the entire class time. These students are at a tender age and we may need parental assistance from time to time.
Upon arrival, students must remain in the waiting room until their teacher comes to line them up for class.
Please do not encourage your child to find you in the parking lot. Dancers are never allowed to stand outside when waiting for a ride. Students will not be allowed to loiter outside of the building.
All students must be picked up promptly at the end of class. If an emergency arises causing you to be late, please call the studio immediately.
