                            There is an annual $30 registration fee per student. Each additional family member’s registration fee is $20. The registration fee is due when registering for a class.

Tuition will be debited from your bank account or charged to your credit card on the first day of each month from September to May. A $30 charge will be added for any returned checks or insufficient funds on automatic withdrawals. Students are registered and her/his place is held in class for the entire school year, from the date of registration through the last class in May. If you wish to cancel at any time, please read the cancellation policy below. 

                            Refund policy
                            Tuition (paid full-year or monthly) and registration fee are non-refundable.  No credits or refunds for missed classes. Make-up classes are allowed and must be made up within eight weeks. The class withdrawal notice begins from the date the withdrawal notification is presented or the date we receive your withdrawal email. We must have a 30 day notice. Classes or payment from the withdrawal notice are not transferable to another student or sibling. Please see below for the recital costume refund policy.

                            Recital
                             
                            It is understood that all registered students will participate in the Spring 2012 recital. This year on April 28th, the studio will hold a spring recital at Morton Ranch High School. There are two fees associated with this performance: costume and recital. All costume fees must be paid by October 1st. If costumes are paid after October 5th, there will be an additional $15 added to the cost of every costume. If you wish to cancel a costumer after you have paid for it, a $15 fee will be charged. Your recital fee is due by February 1st. This is used toward the theater rental, sets, stage hands, etc. If your child is not going to perform, you must notify us in writing no later than October 1st to avoid costume/recital fee charges to your account.

                            For the enjoyment of everyone in the audience, a professional videographer will record the recital.  No other video cameras or cameras will be allowed during the recital.  Parents are allowed to videotape and take pictures during rehearsals at the studio or dress rehearsal the day of the show. To help the students get used to the stage, family and friends are not allowed backstage during dress rehearsal in the auditorium. For security purposes no one except performers and CDA staff will be allowed backstage at the recital and dancers will not be allowed to come late or leave early.  If for any reason your dancer will not be able to stay for the entire show, please do not put them in the recital. There is simply not time to safely check kids out while we are still putting on the show. In order to keep the length of the recital down, most classes will only be in one recital. In dividing the classes into several recitals, it is understood that your child or children in multiple or different classes may end up at different recital times or days.  Students in classes at Connolly Dance Arts for 10 years will receive a 10-year trophy at recital time.

                            Cancellation

                            You may withdraw from any or all classes at any time by giving written notice to the office no later than the 10th of the month. If written notice is not received by the 10th, you are obligated to pay the next month’s tuition payment.

                            Other Information
                            There must be at least six students in a class for that class to be held. If a class falls below the six students during the year, it may be cancelled at any time throughout the year.

                            Please do not let your child go into the dance studios until the teacher calls them in for class. Teachers are only responsible for students during class time.
