*Pointe classes available at this level with prior approval of Studio Director and 3 technique classes per week.
** Modern or Jazz may be taken in place of one technique class for Level V dancers, total fees and deposit will differ.
Notes:
All Students who wish to register for Ballet classes at one level and take fewer than the required number of classes for that level must receive approval from the director. Approval will be based on the frequency and content of classes taken in combination, elsewhere and at Starship Dance, and the level of dance.
All dancers on Pointe will need to take a minimum of three technique classes per week plus Pointe instruction to continue. Those who would like to continue Ballet instruction, but who will not be continuing to devote the time in class required to stay on Pointe, may request permission to take advanced classes on flat.
Level V dancers can replace one technique class with a Modern or Jazz class.
All Level III and above dancers are encouraged to take a Modern and / or a Jazz class as they continue to develop their dance skills.
The deposit and registration fee is due upon registration. The remainder of the class fees are due by December 1, 2009. A late payment fee of 3% of the remainder due will be added to balance. A 5% discount will be given to tuition for full year classes when payment is made in full by August 22, 2009. This deposit is non-refundable after 5 weeks of classes. Registrations later than November 1st require payment in full. The registration fee is $25 per dancer (or per family) for each dance year. Adult classes and summer classes require no registration fee. Registration fees can be avoided by pre-registering by June 15th of the previous dance year. A deposit of $200 must accompany the pre-registration form to be accepted.
Make-up Policy:
Classes missed due to personal or weather conditions may be made up in an appropriate class with instructor's permission within six weeks of the absence. Attendance is vital to progress.
