I agree to pay for all services on time and acknowledge that all payments are non-refundable. It is my responsibility to notify the office of any changes to billing or contact information by emailing cs@danceitforward.org.

Cash is not accepted. All payments must be made via automatic credit card or pre-paid check. I understand that I must provide a valid credit/debit card and authorize monthly autopay in order to enroll my child. I authorize Dance It Forward to charge my account for the full amount due, plus a $5 monthly installment fee.

Trial Classes: If I enroll in a trial class, I understand that the class may fill before I can officially secure a spot.

Returned Payments: If my payment is returned due to insufficient funds, a stop payment, closed account, or any other reason, my account will become delinquent and I will be charged a late fee as outlined in the Student Handbook (available at www.danceitforward.dance).

Payments by Check: If paying by check, I understand that payments must be received at least 30 days in advance to avoid automatic charges to my bank account. In order to enroll, a credit card must still be on file.

Enrollment & Withdrawal: Enrollment runs from August to June, and nonattendance does not count as withdrawal. If I wish to withdraw, I must submit a written request via email to cs@danceitforward.org at least 30 days in advance. Verbal withdrawal requests will not be accepted. Tuition will be charged through the end of the month in which the office is notified in writing. If I have prepaid for more than one month, I will receive a 75% refund, minus a $45 administrative fee, upon withdrawal.

Refund Policies: There are NO refunds for Summer or School Year tuition, performance dues, membership dues, tickets, or awards. If a student withdraws before a performance, costumes and costume use are forfeited. Any scholarships or discounts will be forfeited if the student discontinues before completing the course or season. If classes are held virtually due to a pandemic or other reasons, tuition will remain the same. Nonperforming students must still pay June tuition, as the annual tuition is divided into 11 months, including June.

Dismissal: A student/family may be dismissed for a negative attitude, non-compliance with program rules, or inappropriate behavior. Dance It Forward reserves the right to refuse service to families with delinquent accounts or inappropriate behavior, whether in person, online, or at other locations.

I understand that faculty and staff use a hands on approach and from time to time a student may be touched in order to physically place the body for reasons of learning, understanding and feeling positions and movements related to dance technique. The art requires movement across the floor, close interactions with other dancers and possible faculty corrections which may include physical touch.
