General Policies

Registration

Registration Fee (annually) - $25 per student; $50 family maximum.

Mid-month start policy

Students who join class mid-month will pay a pro-rated tuition for the first month’s only. It may be advisable for the student to come in for extra help to catch up with the rest of the class in order to participate in the year end annual production. While there can be exceptions, generally we will not accept new students for annual production participation after March 1st. After February 1, we will need to get instructor permission before allowing new students into class.

Attendance 

Attendance is very important for a student to have a meaningful experience in any endeavor. Absences and tardiness and can be very disruptive as it may hold back not only the student but the whole class. Furthermore, by being tardy, the student becomes more prone to injury by missing warm-up and important stretching exercises. If a student is consistently late or misses too many classes, he or she may be held out of a section of the performance if deemed necessary by the instructor and studio director. If a dancer is injured, they are still encouraged to attend and watch the class.  Learning to dance is much like learning math or any complex subject; one skill must be mastered in order to build upon for the next skill.  Excessive absenteeism can prevents this from happening.

Studio Etiquette

Please help us keep our facility clean and orderly. Noise should be kept to a minimum. Eating is allowed only in the seating area and water only in an sealable container is allowed in the studios.  We expect use of good manners and behavior at all times. Providing a safe learning environment by affording others respect and kindness is of high importance to us.

Weather Cancellations

Harbor Dance typically follows the Peninsula School District closures. Email notification will be sent if classes are canceled due to inclement weather. There will be no refunds due to weather cancellations, but make-up classes will be allowed.  Please note; on occasion, the roads will clear in the afternoon and classes may be held at Harbor Dance although Peninsula School District schools may have been closed for the day.
