Any family not respecting Center Stage policy will be dismissed from the studio with no refund in tuition, tickets, or costumes. Class times are subject to change at our discretion. Tuition/Class Policy: Please be aware of when payment is due to help our studio run in a more professional smooth environment. We do not like students to feel uncomfortable or confused when they are told that they can not take class. Payment is due on registration day but acceptable anytime prior to the start of a session. There is no refund in registration fees, class tuition, or ticket sales, however a credit toward another class may be issued if a class is switched. If a student needs to stop dancing due to injury or scheduling conflict during the session, a credit will be applied to your account until the student returns or the student can take a different class if one is available. Tuition is due the first week of every month or there will be a $10 late fee applied to tuition one week late. No exceptions. A $10 late fee will be added to postdated checks. 14 week session students: Tuition must be paid in full when the session begins. If you give a portion payment, you will pay $5 fee for the extra time spent recording your payments. Monthly payments: Our payment plan is a courtesy, not an option, therefore, students who are two weeks late on their second payment will have to pay in full at the start of the next session. Also, if a student decides to withdrawal or is injured, you are still responsible for the monthly payments in that 13 week session. If a student is injured, a credit difference will be applied toward the next session. 14eek session students: No costumes will be ordered until full payment has been received. A student who attends class or gets dropped off with an outstanding balance will be asked to sit out of class. Due dates are clearly marked above and posted at the studio. Courtesy calls or emails are also placed the week tuition is due to remind parents. Please be cognizant of your payment plan so your child does not feel embarrassed when they can’t take class. Invoices must be paid by the due date that is given or a $10 late fee will be applied. If prewritten checks are handed in late by your child, without the late fee added in, you will still be responsible for the late fee.

All students must immediately change into dance shoes upon entering. Sitting and talking with friends without getting prepared is unacceptable. Our classes must run on time and students who linger will not be allowed to walk into class once it begins. Do not wear dance shoes to class, doing so may damage shoes and also cause damage to studio floors. Change shoes at studio. Students are to use the bathroom before or after class. Young students will not be allowed to use the bathroom during class time as this distracts the class. Young students (2-9 yrs) must be supervised by a parent when using the bathrooms or if they are older, please check bathroom when they are done. Parents, children, and visitors must keep noise level down while sitting in the waiting area. Please be cognizant of our classes.

Students who arrive late are asked to wait by the entry until the instructor invites them in. Young children are not allowed to walk on and off the floor during instruction time. If a student continues to adamantly walk off the floor during instruction time, the student must wait by the entrance to be invited back into the class, or he/she may not be allowed to join back in. Please understand that children who continue to exhibit these behaviors without parental encouragement to get back on the floor, will be asked to leave the class with no refund in tuition, costumes, and tickets. When a teacher is talking or giving instruction, students should stop moving and talking and give the teacher their full attention. **Center Stage Entertainment is an exciting place to fulfill every dancer, singer, or actor’s needs. While we encourage an easy going atmosphere, it is important that we all use proper etiquette inside our studio. Center Stage Entertainment will not tolerate any misconduct inside or outside the studio that is a form of disrespect, gossip, or negative connotation directed toward a staff member, the studio, or another family. Any such matter will result in dismissal from the studio with no refunds and possible legal action. All parents and students are expected to be respectful towards other family members, and staff. We ask that all individuals act in a mature, friendly way and use proper mannerisms towards one another. Students are expected to use healthy manners, problem solve, and always do their best. Students should come to class ready to learn and have fun. Talking with friends during instructional time hinders the learning environment of fellow dancers. All students must be prepared and have the proper shoes on when the instructor is ready to start class. Following these guidelines ensures the best education for all students in the class and also teaches students how to respect others. Parents of young ones are responsible for reminding them of these guidelines to ensure the best education for their child. We understand that you had a choice of many dance studios and have chosen Center Stage. We are committed to our students and parents 100% and are confident that every student under our instruction will walk away with much more than just a dance experience! Thank you and welcome!
