Safety Procedures and Preparedness Plan
I understand that I must abide by Ace's Safety Procedures in re-opening the studio following Shelter-in-Place. I have received and read Ace's Preparedness Plan information and understand the procedures involved for the health and safety of employees and clients.
Virtual Class Registration
Ace offers the option to enroll in virtual Zoom classes. Enrolling in this option does not guarantee an in-person spot for your child. For parents who wish to secure a space in class within our studio, please register for the regular in-person classes. Please note: Make-up classes and parent observation will also be available with our virtual Zoom classes.
Tuition Policies
All registrants: Ace requires automatic bill pay via bank draft or credit card, tuition is non-refundable and non-transferable and refunds will not be given for any reason. School year registrants: Tuition comes out automatically on the 15th of the month prior (Aug tuition will come out on July 15, etc) and there is a $25 late payment fee for declined/expired cards or delinquent accounts which will be strictly enforced. Parents who wish to pay with cash or check must do so by the 14th of the month, or tuition will be deducted from the account on file automatically. Parents are responsible for tuition payments for the entire school year July 15-May 15. Summer registrants: Tuition for the entire session or camp is withdrawn directly upon completion of this registration form. Please note that the 2020 Summer Session is virtual.
Withdrawal Policy

Email notification is preferred or a hard copy withdrawal form may be completed and turned in at the front desk. Summer 2020 Registrants: Tuition is automatically charged upon registration and no refunds will be given; however those who wish to withdraw their registration and receive a full credit may do so via email request by June 3, 2020.
Level Placement
School Year Registrants: Students must meet age requirement for class by September 1. Summer Registrants: Students must meet age requirement for class by July 1. Students age 8 or older must be evaluated for level placement if they wish to enroll in levels higher than level White. Returning students must evaluate to place in new dance styles. Parents are required to contact the office to schedule an evaluation prior to registration. Level placement is determined by Ace Dance Academy.
Costume Fees
School Year Registrants: Ace will automatically withdraw the Costume Deposit(s) from the account on Nov 18 unless parent registers for Production Opt-Out Class by Nov 4 that student wishes to opt out of participation in the end of year show. The Nov 18 deduction is $70 for each class in which the student is enrolled (Ex: 2 classes = $140). If your child's costume(s) are more than $70, the remaining balance(s) will be charged to the account on Dec 18. For students who enroll after Nov 18, costume fees are due upon registration and must be paid if student wishes to participate in the show. All costume fees are non-refundable. Costume fees paid after December 18 will include a $15 processing fee for each costume. The last day to pay costume fees to participate in the June production is Feb 1. The following are not included in Costume Fees and must be purchased separately: required show tights/socks, production tickets, photos, and DVD. Please note that some classes are non-performance classes.
Participation Fee
School Year Registrants: Ace relies on the assistance of parents to put on a professional end of year production. Parents who have children participating in the performance must choose one of the following options: 1) Sign up as a production volunteer; Participation Fee Waived. Note that Ace will automatically charge your account on file a non-refundable Participation Fee if you register to volunteer and are unable to fulfill your volunteer responsibility. 2) For those who do not sign up to volunteer, we will automatically charge your account on file a Participation Fee per family to cover the cost of hiring assistance. More information regarding the Participation Fee can be found in Ace's Production Handbook.
