| Registration Fee All students pay an annual registration fee of $15.00, or a family fee of $20.00, due (with a completed registration form) in advance, before the day of the students’ first class. All fees are NON- REFUNDABLE. Yearly registration forms need to be completed and on file. If a new family registers, that has never been a member of our studio before, and the new member fills out the referral blank, the active members’ name on the referral blank will receive a $15.00 credit per family. This credit is never redeemable for cash, will only be applied to tuition starting in October of that year, and will only be credited if filled out at the time of registration. |
| Regular class Schedule / Summer / Holidays & Vacations: (Click for current schedules) School year term: starts the Tuesday after Labor Day and runs through until the Friday before Memorial Day. Summer lessons: Usually start the second week in June and continue through the middle of August. We also hold 4 - 5 camps through out the summer. This schedule is usually posted in February. All teams run the whole year: this would include the Dance Company, Tumbling Team, Gymnastics Team, and Competitive Dance Teams. Major Holidays are not made up as you are not paying "by class", but for the place in class. This yearly fee is simply divided into monthly installments to make tuition easier for our patrons. (If you pay Sept - May upfront by Sept 15th, there is a 5% break). Thanksgiving Break: Thursday - Sunday Christmas Break: There is a two week Christmas Break. This is posted on our calendar - and under our announcements. Easter Break - we have off Good Friday, Saturday and Sunday of Easter. |
| Open Viewing for Parents Out of protection for your child, we do not allow the public to come in and view children at their leisure. For Galena and Maquoketa - please view your webpage for your viewing and performance dates. Open-Viewing for 30 and 45 min classes in Dubuque is the first lessons in October, February, and April. Please be prepared to take off your shoes when entering the rooms, and view by sitting on the floor. Due to the three dance recitals, parents have confirmed that there is no need for viewing other times / classes. Please remember that during viewing talking should be eliminated, as should comments to your child. You are welcome to review feedback with your child after class ..... or with me miss.dee@dbqdanceandgym.com. If a new student would like to view classes, we request that the student dress and try the class vs sitting and watching. In this case, all that needs to be done is the registration fee paid, and the release signed. |
| Tuition Payment for classes is due BEFORE THE FIRST OF THE MONTH and is non-refundable. If tuition is not paid before the 1st, a mandatory late fee of $3.00 is posted on the account. When a student is registered, or begins classes, you are assigned a class for the entire term. Our class sessions runs September through May. If during that time you decide to stop taking lessons, we must be notified two weeks in advance of the first of the month. It is mandatory that you hand in a two week written notice to our office when discontinuing class. If you are on one of our teams (Dance Company, Tumbling Team, Gymnastics Team, Dance Competition Team) it is a 30 day notice in writing. Please note team is a year around activity and commitment - notice must be given or you are registered for the next session. Charges will continue on all accounts until the notice is received in our office. You are fully responsible for all charges at this time, NO EXCEPTIONS. Monthly, seasonal lessons paid for are NOT REFUNDED for any reason. (When signing up for summer and special sessions, if you are unable to attend, fees cannot be refunded.) If you are absent from a lesson, you may make it up within 30 days by calling ahead to reserve a place in an appropriate class that has available space. If make up times are not available, you forfeit your class. Please remember you are not paying "per class", but for your student's place in the class. This fee is simply divided into monthly installments to aid in payment for our patrons. Students are not able to make up classes after their session is over, the student must be an active member, currently placed in a class and paying for the month or session in which the make up class is taking place. Registration for events, competition, meets may not be paid for if you have an outstanding balance on your account. All members who register or attend classes agree to comply with all studio and club policies. For Prices Click Here |
