THE IMPORTANCE OF GIVING
In order to keep fees as low as possible, Dreams
In Motion relies on the generous contribution of
individuals, businesses and foundations to run.
If we did not fundraise our tuition costs would
need to increase by an additional 15% annually.
Please consider giving a donation towards our
programs with your registration. We can add in
your pledge to your current payment plans and
you will be provided with an income tax
receipt.

**PLEASE INITIAL & SIGN PG. 2 OVER>>>
THE FOLLOWING MUST BE SIGNED IN ORDER FOR A STUDENT TO PARTICIPATE IN CLASSES. Pg.2
I have read and understood the following:
INITIALS
REFUNDS/WITHDRAWALS/MISSED CLASSES: Full refunds are only available when a class is
cancelled. All students are given a 4 week trial period in which students will receive a refund less the cost of
classes taken if they are not satisfied with their class selection or they may choose another more suitable
class. Students withdrawing after this four week grace period will be responsible to pay the tuition
for the entire year in full. Refunds are available if a student withdraws due to long-term illness or injury
(doctors note is required). Refunds are not given for missed classes. You are required to pay for all classes
that have been registered for (this includes private classes). We always over schedule classes in order to
accommodate snow days or cancelled classes due to teachers’ illness or other unforeseen circumstances.
ADDITIONAL FEES: Tuition fees do not include –
Mandatory Items: Class/Theatre wear(including footwear/shoes/makeup), class materials, recital costume(s)
Optional: Recital Tickets(must pay to attend), yearbook, recital, merchandise, workshop fees, exams & class photos
NEWS AND INFORMATION: Dreams In Motion produces a number of newsletters, information notes
and information emails throughout the year. Please read them thoroughly. Please see a copy of our “Year at
a Glance” for our yearly schedule or on our website: www.dreamsinmotion.ca or call 613-382-6700.
DANCE COSTUMES: Dance costumes & required dance shoes are not included as part of the tuition &
are mandatory to be in the recital. The cost(s) are the students’ responsibility. Costume & shoe
purchases/ordering are the responsibility of the student/parent(s). Ordering costumes from a seamstress
can cost twice as much as ordering from a company which mass produces them. Dreams In Motion makes
every effort to choose costumes which will be cost effective for the parents. All costumes are kept by the
student after their recital. Each costume can cost between $75 to $150, depending on the type of class
if it is a group or solo. Some classes have more than 1 costume. Specific information on how to order
costumes will be given out in the Fall. The costume order DEAD-LINE will be mid December!!
DANCE RECITAL: The annual recitals take place at the end of May or early June. All students are
invited to participate in the recital however, it is not mandatory. It is assumed that all students will
participate in the recital unless we are notified otherwise on the front of this form – all students who do
not let the office know they are not performing prior to December 1, 2014 will be responsible for full
payment of their dance costume. Any student with any outstanding fees as of May 15th may not be permitted
to participate in the recital. All audience members, including parents must purchase a ticket to watch the
recital. Please purchase tickets early as we do sell out. Tickets are available in May.
REHEARSALS FOR PERFORMANCES ARE MANDATORY!: Please ensure that you
schedule rehearsals & performances on your family’s event calendar. Even though the student may
have a 5 minute performance, they are part of a much larger picture when it comes to the show. Students
who miss rehearsals disrupt the flow for their entire class and cast mates(theatre). Rehearsals are the only
time that all students get together to prepare for their one time in the spotlight. Please ensure that you
schedule rehearsals & performances as an important event on your calendar.
CONCERNS: If you have a concern please direct it to a Board Member in writing immediately. We also
have a “Student-Parent-Teacher Concern Form” available. If you should have questions about your child’s
arts education, please do not talk with other parents first when questions arise. Dreams In Motion staff,
teachers and Board of Directors are most concerned first and foremost with the well being of each and every student.
*For our students’ safety be aware that if a student has a medical condition &/or an injury we may request a
Dr’s note to verify your child can safely participate in the activity & not cause further damage*
Participation in any Dreams In Motion activity and use of any recreational facilities involves a risk of accidental injury despite
all safety precautions. Having been informed of the activities conducted by Dreams In Motion, I/we, as an individual or as a
parent or guardian of the participants named herein, assume all risks and hazards incidental to the activities, and release from
responsibility and agreed to indemnify and hold harmless Dreams In Motion, its officers, directors, independent contractors,

Placement
Students are carefully placed in each class according to ability level, attention span and age. Instructors may recommend that a
student move to a more suitable class after the first four weeks. This is a reflection of caring teachers who want to find a class
that best suits each student’s need. If the student is unable to attend a different class, please understand our instructors will do
their best to keep students progressing at their level within the current class, but it may not be the best placement possible.
Teachers
Dreams In Motion makes every effort to ensure the teacher of the class will be consistent through out the year. However,
Dreams In Motion reserves the right to make teacher changes based on what is in the best interest of the class, the students
and our employees.

Make Up Classes
Pg.2
There are no scheduled makeup classes for student absences. We always over schedule classes in order to accommodate snow
days or cancelled classes due to teachers’ illness or other unforeseen circumstances. Make up classes due to snow days or
cancelled classes due to teachers’ illness or other unforeseen circumstances that are in addition to our extra scheduled classes,
will be scheduled at a later date. Teachers will attempt to provide a suitable time for a make up class when all individuals in the
class can attend, however if you are unable to attend the scheduled make up an additional class will not be scheduled. School
closures due to severe weather conditions will be announced by noon on that day on our website, Facebook & Myfm (99.9).
Observation
It is in our experience that children respond better to their teacher when parents are not present. Therefore it is not common
practice for parents to observe class. For the first few weeks parents of younger students will be able to observe classes at the
discretion of the teacher, after this we will provide special observation weeks so you can see your child and discuss their
progress with the teacher.
Communication
Communication between the parents and instructors is very important to us. However, please ensure you talk with the
instructor at appropriate times as we do not want students to miss out on class time. Please do not feel your comments are
unimportant to us if the instructor can not talk with you immediately. If you send an email to dreamsinmotiongan@gmail.com
we will forward it to the teacher. Please provide the teacher’s name, your name, your child’s name, class day & time & the
concern. You may also fill out our “Student-Parent-Teacher Concern Form” found in the front Lobby, to be passed onto the
teacher so s/he can contact you.
Concerns
If you have a concern needing immediate attention, please direct it to the Dance &/or Theatre Director &/or your child’s
teacher immediately. If you should have questions about your child’s arts education, please do not talk with other parents first
when questions arise. That is how misinformation and hurt feelings get started. Dreams In Motion staff, teachers and Board of
Directors are most concerned first and foremost with the well being of each and every student. *For our students’ safety be
aware that if a student has a medical condition &/or an injury we may request a Dr’s note to verify your child can safely
participate in the activity & not cause further damage*
Safe Arrival/ Pick-up
Parents are responsible for dropping off and picking up students. The instructor is unable to monitor students once they leave
the classroom. The school will not be responsible for the student if the parent is late picking them up or if the student is asked
to bike, walk etc. to and from Dreams. Please ask your child to remain inside the studio until you have come into the building
to pick them up. There is no supervision provided for students who are dropped off early or picked up late. If this is to occur,
due to you unforeseen circumstances please contact Dreams In Motion so we can ensure your child is supervised, there may
be a fee involved. Children under the age of 12 years old must be supervised by a parent or guardian anytime they are not in an
instructional period.
Parking
Angle parking spaces are available at the back of the studio. Please do not park at the Curling Club or block neighboring
driveways or paths. For safety purposes, please use the front of the studio as a drop off zone only. Everyone is to enter using
the front door.
Lost & Found
Please check the lost and found on a regular basis. The lost & found box will be emptied on a monthly basis with contents
begin donated to the Salvation Army. It is easier to find the owner if the clothing, footwear & costume pieces are marked!
Information Changes
Please ensure you inform the school of any information changes i.e. address, phone number, medical information, email
address. This is extremely important in case of an emergency.
Solicitation
All solicitation and distribution of items for charity, commercial purposes or sale of merchandise from outside organizations
on school property must be approved by the Administrative Director and/or the Board of Directors.

Pg.3
Injury
Should any student receive a non serious injury but feels they are unable to participate in class, then they are encouraged to
come and watch the class in order to acquire important new information and choreography. Medical attention will be
administered to you or your child by Dreams In Motion faculty or staff in the event of an accident, injury, sickness, etc until
such time as a parent/contact person is reached. *For our students’ safety be aware that if a student has a medical
condition &/or an injury we may request a Dr’s note to verify your child can safely participate in the activity & not
cause further damage*
Infectious Illness Policy
Parents should observe their children for contagious illnesses by using the criteria below as a guideline. Children exhibiting one
or more of the following symptoms should not be brought to class. Fever, an undiagnosed rash, vomiting, diarrhea or
possibility of head lice present due to excessive scratching of the scalp and/or complaints of abnormal itchiness.
If we receive a large number of reports of contagious diseases such as Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Chicken Pox, etc. a notice
from the Health Unit will be posted at the main entrance of the studio.
We recommend that your child be reminded of proper hand washing after using the toilet and before and after class.
