CLASS CONDUCT

A dance class is a group activity that requires certain ground rules to ensure that you, and the other dancers in class, enjoy a safe, positive and challenging environment. No running in the studio unless directed to do so. Running in the studio is dangerous for both your child and others around them. No chewing gum or candy in class. Only water is permitted in the studio. Respect your fellow dancers. Respect the studio and studio property.

Recital class fees include classes for the session and a non-refundable $25 performance fee. Class fees do not include the cost of costumes, dance shoes, recital tickets or optional add-ons. You have two payment options: Pay in Full at the time of registration, or choose Partial Payment at the time of registration and pay 50% of the class fee at the time of booking.

CLASS CANCELLATIONS

HYPE Studio adheres to the Sturgeon Bay School District's weather cancellation policies. If Sturgeon Bay School District decides to close or send students home early due to inclement weather, HYPE Dance classes will be cancelled. A cancellation email notification will be sent and posted to our social media accounts. There are no pro-rated refunds or makeup classes offered due to weather cancellations. Any cancellations that are due to illness or the instructor's unavailability will be offered a makeup class or a pro-rated refund will be provided upon request. 

There is no waiting area for parents, caregivers, or dancers. Dancers will need to arrive no earlier than 5 minutes to the start time of their class, fully dressed for class (except for shoes), and be picked up immediately after the class ends. Children ages 8 and under need to be escorted by an adult caregiver to and from the studio and will not be allowed to leave the studio alone. Children must remain in the studio while waiting for pick up. Children ages 9 and older may be dropped off and picked up without an adult escort to the door, however, when exiting they must check out with the instructor before leaving the studio. This ensures the safety of our dancers.

Dancers should wear clothing that is clean and comfortable for movement including tights, leggings, leotards, fitted tops, and tutu. Jeans or clothing with zippers, buttons and buckles are not allowed. Please remove all jewelry or accessories prior to coming to class. 

Street shoes are not allowed in the studio at any time. Appropriate shoes are required for safety and performance. Please review your class information for the required shoes for your class. Unless specifically noted in the class information, children will not be allowed to participate in socks, barefoot or street shoes in the event appropriate shoes are forgotten.

STUDENT ILLNESS

There will not be any makeup/credit for classes missed due to student illness. If there have been multiple absences, please contact me so I can ensure your child is not falling behind.

These policies are subject to change at anytime.
