Positive Environment Policy:
We believe that children need a positive environment in which to learn and grow. Please keep our studio a place where negativity is not allowed.
Open Door Policy
Our professional staff has your child’s best interest in mind. If there is ever an issue that needs to be addressed, please feel free to contact the studio at 801-602-9196 or email at timpschoolofdance@gmail.com
Billing:
Tuition is pro-rated on a yearly basis and reflects that some months have fewer classes and some months have more classes. Absolutely no discounts will be given for missed classes because of vacations, sickness or personal breaks. Payment is due the first week of each month. A late Fee of $20 charged if payment is not made by the 15th of the month. Auto-pay with a debit/credit card can be set up with Heidi for easy payments. Cash and personal checks are also accepted as payment. Cash and checks need to be handed directly to Heidi or put in an envelope and dropped in the stone payment box on the West side of Stone Gate. If you are one month overdue with tuition, your child will not be able to attend her classes. If you bounce a check to the studio, there will be a $20 fee added to your balance, and then cash only payments will be accepted.
Fees:
There will be an annual non-refundable registration fee of $15. All students in classes other than tech only will be involved the spring concert in June. There will be costume fees for each class for each performance (around $50 per costume). These will be due in November. A note or email will be sent home with your child to inform you regarding these fees, weeks before it is due. There will either be a performance fee or a ticket fee for our shows to get into and dance in the performance. This fee is usually around $35 each performance. We will inform you of this fee well in advance of it being due. In the event that your dancer is unable to perform, you must notify the studio 60 days in advance to cancel a costume order. After the 60 day deadline, you will be responsible for payment in full of all costume fees. If your child decides not to participate in the spring recital, you are still responsible for full monthly tuition even though we are rehearsing for our shows. The reason for this is simply that your child is taking the class space of another willing dancer that has to wait to join our classes. Tech only classes will not be performing in the performance.
Holidays:
Our studio will observe most of the same holidays as the Alpine School District. To see specific dates, please check the calendar at timpdance.com. Monday classes will hold classes on some days that school is out because of the amount of Monday holidays on the calendar. We will notify you when this happens.
Changing or Dropping Classes:
We require that you do all changing or dropping of classes online or through Heidi by calling 801-602-9196. All requests for changes or drops must be done by the 25th of the month to avoid being charged for the next month’s tuition. There will be no refunds once the current month has begun. Please let Heidi know of the changes you will be making. There will be one make-up class per month available if your child should miss class. To make up a class, please take the class just lower than the level you are currently in unless that is not possible. Please clear any make up classes with us before taking the class.
Release:
The risk of injury exists in any physical activity. By paying your registration fee, you agree that Timpanogos School of Dance, and agents of this studio, are not liable for personal injury, or loss or damage to personal property, resulting from participation. Students should inform instructor of physical limitations.
Class Observation:
Due to student distraction, we request that parents do not enter into the classroom while class is in session (especially with the young children). You may always watch through our observation windows. If week after week your child will not participate without you, we recommend that you take a break, and re-register her for the next year or semester. For very young children, we understand that a parent may need to sit with them for a week or two until the child feels comfortable.
Required Dance Attire:
PLEASE SEE DRESS CODE! Please know that your child may be asked to sit down if not dressed appropriately. We request that all students wear modest leotards or attire. That means no low cut leotards, tube tops or any clothing that reveals midriff. Sleeveless leotards are acceptable. There will be a 1" strap or a sleeve on all jazz costumes. It is traditional wear for ballet costumes to look like there are no straps, this will be acceptable. (Our ballet costumes will always include straps clear, or otherwise.) Altering costumes in any way for performance will not be acceptable.
ALL DANCE WEAR MAY BE PURCHASED AT THE GLASS SLIPPER IN AMERICAN FORK. IT IS LOCATED ACROSS FRON PAPA JOHNS PIZZA ON MAIN STREET (121 W Main St. in American Fork). IF YOU TELL THEM YOU ARE DANCING WITH US, YOU WILL RECEIVE A DISCOUNT ON ALL ITEMS. Hours for Glass Slipper are Mon-Fri 12pm - 6pm & Saturday 11am - 4pm.
