School Policies
REGISTRATION
A registration form/waiver must be completed and submitted from our website by the parent or legal guardian before any class is taken.
There is a $35 registration fee. If you discontinue classes for any reason for more than one month and then return, you will be required to pay the registration fee upon re-enrolling.
TUITION/FEES
Tuition for classes is a monthly tuition (regardless of the number of weeks or holidays in any month). Please see Holidays Closed on our website.
All tuition must be set up for Auto Pay with a credit card. Your credit card will be charged on or about the 1st day of each month. Should your card be declined for any reason, you must pay by the 7th day of the month to avoid a $35 late fee and provide us with your new credit card information by the 7th day of the month in which it was declined.
NO statements will be sent to you unless your tuition is late. A $35 late fee will be charged for all tuition payments received after the 1st day of the month.
A $35 fee will be charged on all returned checks.
NO credit or refund is given for absences, tuition, costumes, competition fees, workshop fees, or convention fees.
If you are dropping any or all classes, you must notify us via e-mail at PacificDance1@gmail.com by the 20th day of the month preceding the month you would like to drop, or you will be responsible for paying your tuition for the following month.
ABSENCES
If you are absent from a class, you may request a courtesy make-up in a comparable class after the class is missed. A make-up must be taken no later than one month from the date of the absence, and you must be currently registered in a class. Once you drop all classes, you lose all make-ups. Make-ups are non-transferrable. All make-ups must be requested at least 48 hours in advance of the class you are interested in making up in from our website Make-Up page. Pacific Dance will send a confirmation email. Not all classes will be open for make-ups. Pacific Dance has the right to refuse the use of a make-up should the class size be too large on the day of a make-up, or if the level/age is not appropriate for the student.
If you are taking a make-up class in a 90 minute class and are not enrolled in a 90 minute class, you will need to use two make-ups to take a make-up in a 90 minute class.
We cannot guarantee a make-up will be available for your schedule, age or level.
ATTIRE
Proper dancewear and shoes are required for all classes (please see the Required Dance Attire page on our website for details).
RECITAL
Our annual Recital is optional. If you decide to participate in the Recital, you are required to have good attendance in your class(es), purchase the assigned costume(s), tights and shoes, and attend mandatory rehearsals and all scheduled recital performances.
If your account balance is not paid in full prior to the Mandatory Dress Rehearsal date for the Recital, your child will not be able to participate in the Recital.
SUPERVISION OF STUDENTS
Children are supervised during class time only and should not be dropped off early or picked up late.
PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEOTAPING
Unless prior parental and teacher authorization has been given, no photography or videotaping is allowed at Pacific Dance of any student other than your own.
Pacific Dance has the right to use videos and pictures of dancers for marketing purposes on our website, social media and for advertising.
MISCELLANEOUS
Despite our safety precautions, there is a risk of contagion in any public place. By coming into the studio, you are acknowledging that you understand these risks and do not hold Pacific Dance or employees liable.
Due to the uncertainty of the pandemic, Pacific Dance could be closed by the State of California, County of Orange or City of Irvine at any time for safety. In this case, there are no tuition refunds or cancellations.
In order to maintain the quality level of dance training at Pacific Dance, classes run year-round. Very often our classes are full, so space may be limited. If you drop your class(es), your space in that class cannot be held. If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail us at PacificDance1@gmail.com
