Studio Policies

Payments

ALL TUITION PAYMENTS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE. Tuition is based on the total number of classes for the dance year and NOT the number of weeks per month.  Some months may have only three weeks and some may have five weeks.  Your tuition is the same regardless of the number of weeks in a month. We have built in a snow/emergency day for all classes, therefore a snow day will not be made up unless more than one occurs. A late payment fee of $15 will be assessed to accounts not paid by the 5th of each month and a $30 fee will be added to any checks that are returned.  Please come to the front desk to make your payment in cash or check, or visit your parent portal to pay by checking account or credit/debit card.

We DO NOT accept American Express over the portal

Attendance

  1. At the beginning of each class students are asked to wait in the reception area until the studio door opens and an assistant or teacher escorts the students into the room. Please try to bring your child on time to the studio. It is extremely disruptive to the other students if your child comes consistently late to class.

  2. Parents must be on time to pick up their child when class is dismissed.

  3.  Communication with us is always easy! You can call us @ 454-5311 or email us:    showbizkidzdance@gmail.com

Recital Info

Showbiz Kidz produces an annual recital to showcase what students have learned throughout the dance year. We generally put on two shows that will last approximately two hours each. Those students with siblings and/or students that are taking multiple classes may be split into different shows. We know this may seem inconvenient to some, yet please understand that due to the size of this studio, we cannot possibly accommodate each family or multiple class students into ONE SHOW. The divisions of the classes into the two shows will be posted in April.

Costumes

The payment for the costume and tights will be made in early November.  No costume will be ordered without a payment. There are no refunds on costume payments. We measure every child in class and allow for growth. 

Tickets

 In order to cover the numerous expenses that are incurred when producing a show, it is necessary to charge an entrance fee of $20. The price of the tickets reflect the cost of leasing the facility, professional sound and lighting equipment, specially recorded music, light and sound operators, stage props, set decorations, backstage crews, show tickets, show programs, and custodial staff.

Videotaping

 There will be NO VIDEO CAMERAS OR CAMERAS OF ANY KIND allowed at the stage rehearsal, dress rehearsal, or show. This includes cameras on cell phones! Video cameras and cameras are not only extremely distracting to the performers on stage, but also to audience members trying to view their child on stage. People with video cameras lined up in the aisles and the sides create a chaotic and potentially dangerous situation that can ruin the production. The show will be professionally videotaped and tapes shall be available for purchase.

Picture Day- Class and individual pictures in show costumes will be taken by a professional photographer in the studio during the afternoon and evening hours.
