​
Our classes are designed to run for a full season and end with a recital in the Spring.
1st Semester: learning and improving on technique
2nd Semester: recital choreography and continued improvement on learned technique.
​
See current fees on our Tuition Page.
Tuition and registration fee will be due upon registration. We may be able to accommodate a payment split or payment plan with a contract. Contact us. There will also be a recital fee and costume fees billed and due Dec 1st.
​
Dancers who only wish to dance in the fall will need to notify us upon registration, otherwise the full season will be charged and due. For some of recreational classes, dancers who wish to join us only for the spring are welcome, space permitting. We may not allow dancers to join the spring semester after January 15th, (Pre Ballet after Feb 15th) as we are learning our recital choreography and dancers need to be there from the beginning of choreography.
​
​Other expenses, such as shoes and apparel or studio events and master classes, are due when purchased.
Tuition is due upon registration. A class spot may be forfeited if tuition is not paid.
Late fees will be applied for past-due accounts. ($35 per invoice, or 5%, whichever is greater, after 10 days).
The 3% charge you will see upon online checkout is for credit card. 1% for e-check ACH processing. We are happy to take personal checks or cash at the studio to avoid these fees. Delinquent accounts may be referred to a third party for collection.
​
​No Refunds. Should a student withdraw, an account credit will be applied upon approval for such reasons as injury, moving or family emergencies.
In the event of weather (rec classes will follow Durango School District snow days), you may contact us to find a suitable makeup class to take any time during the current year.
​
Dancers are placed in the proper classes for their development and training level. They may not be in the same level as friends or other dancers their exact age, but we maintain a reasonable range in our classes.
At checkout when registering, you will accept the terms of our liability waiver and policies in our student handbook.
We follow local mandates regarding health-related issues.
​
​Dress Code & Conduct
Conduct: Dancers are expected to arrive prepared for classes or arrive as early as required to dress and prepare at the studio. Hair should be tied back, and bangs may need to be pinned back if they interfere. They can bring snacks to be eaten between classes or with the teacher's permission (we will advise if there is a student with allergies) and should bring a water bottle.
​
Good attendance is expected for both their and their classmates benefit. Contact the studio via email if your dancer will be tardy or absent.
​
​Dancers are expected to listen, participate, to be polite and respectful of teachers, classmates and our studio space and facilities. Dismissal from class due to persistent mean or disruptive behavior is possible. Registered students should review our our student handbook with complete information and policies.
