You are not obligated to pay for the balance of the school year, however you will be responsible for any balance due. Your enrollment constitutes a “class reservation” meaning that both classroom and teacher time are reserved and students who potentially could have taken your child’s spot may have been turned away.

• Long term absences for illness or injury for 4 weeks or more will be given school credit only.

ABSENCES/CLOSINGS

• Regular attendance is very important for dancers to reach their full potential. Make-up classes may be available if your child must miss class. There are no credits, reimbursement, or free tuition granted for absences, cancellations due to weather or other events/pandemics or otherwise, out of our control. Please check the Instagram and/or Facebook page for closings due to inclement weather. It is up to MDA management to decide whether it is essential to make up these classes.

Class dress codes are outlined on our website. Each student must have the required shoe color and style for each class. Students should have their hair pulled back and out of their face at all times. Students are required to wear tights and leotards for all classes except for hip hop. Leotard, pink tights, and pink ballet shoes with a hair in bun must be worn for Level1-3 Ballet classes. After three warnings, children will be asked to sit out until they are in proper dance attire.

We do not charge a recital fee or require a set amount of tickets to be purchased for our recital.Ad book participation is optional. Any student with an overdue account balance will not be permitted to perform in recital. All students are required to attend both the dress rehearsal and recital and must have all costume pieces and shoes.

Our studio is under video surveillance 24/7 for the safety and protection of our students, teachers, and dance families. MDA reserves the right to share video surveillance if necessary.

GOVERNMENT MANDATED CLOSURE

• In the event of a government mandated closure, classes will convert to virtual classes and instruction will continue. There may be an approximate one-week transition period from the date of the closure until virtual classes begin, in order to allow us to implement our action plan. This brief time period, if needed, will be treated as inclement weather days, meaning your dancer can choose a convenient make-up class from an appropriate class on our schedule. No refunds will be given for this week.
