the Dance Factory

Health:  If your child is ill, please do not bring him/her to class.  If your child has been sick but is feeling better, be sure he/she has been without fever, vomiting, or diarrhea for 24 hours.

Class offerings:  We offer the following artistic/classical classes: ballet, jazz, tap, and modern, as well as the following recreational/sport classes: hip hop, tumbling, cheerleading, and dance team.  We also offer Creative Movement for preschool-Kindergarten and praise dance and basic dance technique for grade school students and up.  In addition, we have specialty camps and workshops from time to time.

Watching class:  For the benefit of the students, classes are closed to parents and other visitors. However, you will have the opportunity to see your dancer/tumbler in action at the Christmas Program in December and the recital in late May/early June.  If a prospective student is trying class, the parent or guardian will be asked to wait in the waiting area just outside the dance room.

Class placement and curriculum:  The instructor will make the decision about a student's readiness for class and the curriculum content and progression of skills.

Performing:   Students will be performing in the Christmas Program and the end-of-the-year recital. Performance is not required, but is highly recommended.  It is part of the training.  Unless notified otherwise, we assume that all students will be in both shows.

Withdrawing from class:  You need to notify the office in writing before the 1st of the month if you will be discontinuing class to avoid paying for that month.  If you do not notify us, you will continue to be billed.

Dismissal:   The Dance Factory reserves the right to dismiss a child/family if there are behavior issues, problems adhering to the rules/policies of the studio, or if fees have not been paid.
