Any unpaid tuition or late fees are added on to your account and must be paid in full before receiving costumes or recital tickets. Students who fall more than two months behind on payments will not be allowed to take class; until past due, money is paid in full. Postdated checks will not be credited until the date on the check. We accept all major credit cards, except American Express.
Perfect Pointe ends each year with a recital showcase. Students in one dance in the recital need the full costume payment in by OCTOBER 15th! Students in more than one dance need to pay half of their total costume payment by OCTOBER 15th and the remaining balance by NOVEMBER 15th!
IMPORTANT! Refunds - Since tuition is a session fee, you will be billed from the time the student is enrolled to begin, until the end of session). REFUNDS ARE NOT GIVEN FOR COSTUMES, RECITAL TICKETS OR COMPETITION FEES (if they apply.) In the event, a student needs to withdraw early, a DROP CLASS FORM MUST BE COMPLETED TO CLOSE THE ACCOUNT and thus, prevent further billing.
Regular attendance is essential for your child’s progress.
*NO refunds for any missed lessons.
*If parent or guardian is not picking up the child, please notify the office who will be picking up your child. Students who are 12 yrs. and younger MUST wait in the waiting are for their parent to pick them up.

Students do not move up to the next level according to the amount of years that they have studied dance. They must be able to execute proper technique for each movement to the fullest for that level. Once the teacher or director has determined that the student is ready to move up, then and only then will the student be moved to a higher level. Some students may take several years and others only one, according to natural ability, effort, and practice. Remember: POOR ATTENDANCE WILL AFFECT PROGRESSION.
Parents are encouraged to view their child in class in the waiting area on the T.V. There will be a designated parent observation day throughout the year for parents and other special family members to come and enjoy their child in dance class! Cameras and videotaping are welcome too!
Students and parents are expected to conduct themselves in an orderly, courteous, and respectful manner. Students waiting for class are expected to wait in a quiet manner and come to class prepared with proper dancewear, shoes, and hair pulled back and off of face. *Students who are dressed professionally for class will dance professionally in class.*
- ABSOLUTELY No food or drink allowed in the studio at all.

- Absolutely no street shoes allowed on studio floors
To dance is to use the whole body. It is therefore necessary for a dance teacher to be able to clearly see the student's legs, arms, neck, hips, waistline, etc. This way, proper technique may be taught. We ask that students take care and pride in the way they prepare themselves to attend dance classes. As well as aiding the teachers, it will help them to be confident in themselves and their work.
Hair for all classes must be tidy and tied back from the face if possible. Buns, French braids, and ponytails are recommended for dancing.
The following is a list of the required attire for each subject. This list must be followed and it is suggested that students taking several classes in a row, bring a change of clothing for some classes (especially ballet). All dance shoes will be sold in the studio boutique for your convenience.
*Please remember to label all shoes and clothing with the student's name.
