Intermediate ballet can be classified as Intermediate/advanced; a mix of students of various levels dance comfortably in this class. NOTE!! A new & exciting system of levels in our school will be implemented this fall. This program involves special events where students give performance presentations whether in dance , public speaking or creative arts. Makeup Policy: Those who miss class(es) may make them up within the next month. If the class is not made up within this time, class is forfeited. It is at your own discretion and responsibility to remember how many makeups you need to do; makeups are attended on an honor-basis. Adult Ballet Ages 17 + A ballet class geared to adults who have had ballet and those who are just beginning ballet. Adult dancers who are skilled are welcome to attend the intermediate/adv. classes. IMPORTANT: POLICY OF ENROLLMENT-- The way our class enrollment works is whatever class a student enrolls in is paid for in advance for the entire month. Enrollment cannot be sustained opting out one month and rejoining the next. Should a student quit for a month or more, re-registration fee is required to return to the school. This is standard for fine dance schools who are intent on creating excellence. This attendance policy is not like a yoga studio or gym where participants pick and choose which weeks they will attend as with a prepaid punch card, however, a DROP-IN fee is possible for visiting dancers or those who wish to simply try a class, for $23 per class. Re-registration happens in the fall with each student paying the registration fee for the new year. This fee partially compensates for the many hours each week outside of the school for accounting costs, record-keeping and paperwork. All students enrolled in a certain class pay for the whole month at the beginning of that month and what is missed can made up in a different class within one month. Taking makeup classes is done on an honor basis, and we wish you to keep your own record of what you need to make up. Makeups cannot be transferred or piggy-backed onto future classes in the same time slot of the following month. Students must choose another class they are not enrolled in to make up the classes missed or our occasional special makeup classes on weekends. Being sick, too tired to dance, out of town or choosing to celebrate Halloween for instance, does not exempt payment for classes held on those days. If students do not attend with commitment according to the policy, classes will not prosper, class morale goes down and students' technique will be delayed in progression and skill. Victor School is intent on creating the best dance technique within the shortest possible time – requiring diligent attendance. The school will have periods where there are no classes as during Thanksgiving and Christmas, and sometimes during the special Summer Intensive dates---- but family holidays, out of town guests at home or out of town trips do not exempt students from paying the full monthly tuition. Registration: Non-refundable registration fee for ALL students new or previous year is due with registration: $35.00 per student ($45.00 per family for more than one student). If student discontinues classes, re-registration will be required to resume. Tuition is due by the 5th of each month. A $20 late fee will be assessed if tuition is not received by the 7th of each month. A $25 charge will be assessed for dishonored checks and $5 fee on declined credit cards. We prefer payment by check. Unless otherwise altered, billing will be calculated month to month for students enrolled in their classes. Credit card auto-payment tuition will be assessed unless the school is notified in writing by the 15th of the prior month of the student’s intent to discontinue. Initial:______________ Policy for Makeup Classes: When student misses a class, she/he may make it up in an appropriate class within the month that class was missed. Past that month, the class is forfeited. You are given at your own discretion responsibility to remember how many makeups you need to do-- makeups are attended on an honor-basis. Private Class: Paid for prior to class event. Reservation for private class is nonrefundable. Previously scheduled/paid-for private classes if missed cannot be made up due to the set schedule being occupied by the reservation; Class fee is forfeited. Privates $65 per hour Two students 2 hours $74 each Three students 2 hours $63 each Two students 1.5 hours: $57 each Three students 1.5 hours: $43 each Four students 1.5 hours: $36 each see discountdance.com for dance supplies My teacher discount code for you to use on ‘discountdance.com’ is: TP104431. You receive 10% discount on your first order and %5 ever after. Type this code in a designated box when you order online. DRESS CODE: NEW and more strict policy than last year: PLEASE PAY ATTENTION. Those who come to class unkempt must fix their appearance/follow dress code in order to dance. For Girls: Pink tights and any color leotard for girls. White or pink ballet shoes. No baggy shirts or pants. Hair must be put up in a bun—use a hairnet and bobby pins. Hairnet is necessary to keep hair tight, neat and secure. Use hairspray for a clean look. For Boys: Black, white or grey tights. Form-fitting t-shirt. No baggy pants or shirts. White or black ballet shoes. Boys wear a dance belt. (like an athletic supporter-see men’s section at discount dance.com) Shoes: Flat ballet shoes: Recommended / Sansha pro #S1C canvas in pink white or black. Available at discountdance.com. If you are not sure about size call the operator and they are nicely helpful to suggest the right size. This particular shoe fits the arch very well and is complementary to most feet. IMPORTANT: Elastics must be sewn not tied. Drawstrings to be tied in a triple knot and cut off short or medium length tucked inside shoe. No bows please Important: secure the knot of your shoe drawstrings with clear nail polish. When you cut your strings do not stretch the string. Pointe Shoes: Recommended: Freed, Bloch (Discountdance.com), Repetto (Backbay Dancewear.com). Not recommended: Capezio, Grishko, Russian Pointe. These shoes are very hard, very noisy and hardly soften up so that the dancer can use her foot and find control. Gaynor Mindens are a good shoe only on certain feet. They are best fitted in a shop that knows the brand. They can be a very good choice for the right dancer. It is either a great fit or very inappropriate depending on bone structure. Use ribbons by Repetto or Freed. Some cheaper brands use ribbons as if they came from the fabric store, you need a ribbon that has diagonal weave. Elastic ribbons are not good since they tend to squeeze the veins and impede circulation. Sew elastics inside heel not outside the shoe. Sew ribbons diagonally on the inside marked by the diagonal crease of the heel fabric when folded forward.
