State Street Ballet Academy Policies

*The dress code must be followed at all times.

* Students and/or siblings may not enter the studio if the instructor is not present.

* Children must be picked up promptly at the end of class. A $10 fee will be assessed for each 10 minutes the child has not been picked up.

*Please be sure to let the teacher know if you are taking a make-up class so he/she can mark it down properly.

*We assume that you will continue from one semester to the next unless you notify our office.

*Any schedule conflicts need to be given in writing, in advance. Please know that casting may be changed if a significant amount of classes or rehearsals are missed for any reason.

* There are no refunds for missed classes or performance fees. Most of our classes at these levels are full, so enrollment in a class prevents others from enrolling.

* Tuition Payments must be made one week in advance of the start of each semester; otherwise, students on the waiting list will be given the opportunity to enroll in your place.
