DRESS CODE

All dancers must have the required shoes and appropriate clothing for the various class styles as listed in our dress code.

TUITION

Tuition is calculated based on the number of class hours per week, per family. It is paid in 10 equal installments, accounting for all studio closings, from September-June. 


WITHDRAWAL

Class registration is for the full school year (September-June). One month's notice in writing is required for discontinuing any classes prior to the end of the year. Withdrawal after April 1st is not permitted. Students who drop after April 1st will be required to pay the remaining months' tuition. Notification of any changes and/or cancellation must be emailed to encoreperformers@gmail.com . No changes or cancellation will be accepted via phone.

​

ABSENCES, CLOSINGS, & MAKEUPS
